See how your link looks when it's shared.

Paste a page URL. We read its Open Graph and X card tags the way Facebook, LinkedIn, X and Slack do, and check the preview image.

What it checks

Every rule is fixed and published.

  1. 01

    Required Open Graph tags

    og:title, og:description and og:image decide what a pasted link shows. Missing one gives a bare link or a guessed snippet.

  2. 02

    Title and description length

    Platforms cut long text. Keep the title near 60 characters and the description under 200.

  3. 03

    Image loads and is supported

    The og:image must answer 200 as a PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP under 5 MB. SVG is ignored by Facebook, LinkedIn and X.

  4. 04

    Image size and shape

    1200 × 630 px (1.91:1) fills a large card. Smaller or squarer images are shrunk or cropped.

  5. 05

    X card type

    Without twitter:card set to summary_large_image, X shows a small card even when the image is large.

  6. 06

    Absolute https URL and alt text

    Relative or http:// image paths fail on some crawlers. og:image:alt describes the image for screen-reader users.

Questions

Common questions.

Why does my link still show an old preview?
Platforms cache the preview. After fixing the tags, re-scrape the URL in each platform's own debugger (Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector); X refreshes on its own after a while.
Does this run my page's JavaScript?
No. Social crawlers read the HTML your server sends and don't run JavaScript, so this checker does the same. Tags added only by client-side code won't show up here, and won't show up when your link is shared either.
Is the preview exact?
It is a generic large-card approximation. Each platform crops and styles the card a little differently. The findings, not the mock-up, are the check.
Do you store the URL I check?
No. We keep your IP address and the time of each check for up to an hour, to enforce a limit of 10 checks an hour. The URL isn't stored.
