Open Graph Preview Tool — See How Your Links Look Before Sharing

Sunil Kalikayi4/8/20264 min read

What Is Open Graph?

Open Graph (OG) is a protocol created by Facebook that controls how URLs are displayed when shared on social platforms. The og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url meta tags determine the title, description, thumbnail, and canonical URL of a social card.

Why OG Tags Matter

A well-configured OG image can increase click-through rates by 3-5x on social media. Without OG tags, platforms fall back to guessing your page content — often picking the wrong image or showing a bare URL with no description.

How to Use the OG Previewer

Paste any public URL into FreeLinkKit's OG Previewer to instantly fetch and display all OG meta tags. You will see exactly how the link card will appear on Google search, Facebook share, Twitter card, and LinkedIn post. Missing tags are flagged so you know what to fix.

Common OG Tag Mistakes

Missing og:image (most critical — social shares become blank cards). Image too small — minimum 1200x630px for best rendering. og:title too long — keep it under 70 characters. og:description cut off — aim for 150-160 characters. No og:type set — default to 'website' or 'article' for blog posts.
