To create social sharing tags, fill in your page title, description, URL and image in the Open Graph / Twitter Card Generator and copy the meta tags into your page head. They control how your link looks when shared.
How to use the Open Graph / Twitter Card Generator
- Enter the title, description and page URL.
- Add the image URL.
- Generate the tags.
- Paste them into the head of your page.
Worked example
The tag og:title sets the headline shown when the page is shared, and og:image sets the preview picture.
Tips and common mistakes
- Use an image around 1200 x 630 pixels for good results.
- Keep titles short so they are not cut off.
- Test the link by sharing it, since platforms cache previews.
