Check Your Open Graph Tags and Share Image Before You Post the Link
Enter a page and this free social share preview checker reads its title tag, meta description, Open Graph tags and X card tags, measures the share image, and shows an approximate preview for search results and link posts. It works as an Open Graph checker too: every missing, duplicate or broken tag is listed with a fix, and you can copy a corrected block of meta tags.
Open Graph + SERPLink Preview Checker
OfficialStape PartnerEnter any public page. You get the previews, the tag checks and a block of corrected meta tags.
The address you enter is sent to our server, which loads the page once to read its public code. Your browser then loads the share image to measure it. We keep a simple log of the address checked and the result. No personal details are saved unless you ask for the report by email.
Get the Excel report with every check and the corrected meta tags.
I set up GA4, UTM tracking and conversion tracking, so you can see which posts and campaigns bring visitors who become customers.
The tags that decide how your link looks in search results, social feeds and chat apps.
Your title and description as a desktop and a mobile search result, with the point where each is likely to be cut.
Approximate link cards in the style of Facebook, LinkedIn and X, including the X large and small card.
The small link card style used by chat apps such as WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack and Teams.
The real pixel size and shape of your og:image, whether it loads, and whether the declared size matches.
Missing, empty or duplicate og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type and og:site_name.
Length of the title tag and meta description, duplicates, and a noindex check.
Whether the canonical link exists, is a full address, and agrees with og:url.
A block of corrected meta tags, built from your page and your edits, ready to copy.
Three steps, a few seconds.
Paste the address of the page you plan to share or advertise.
The tool reads the tags in the page source, measures the share image and draws seven approximate previews.
Change the title, description or image to see the previews update, then copy the corrected meta tags.
When someone pastes a link into Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp or Slack, the app fetches the page and reads a few tags in its <head>. Most apps read the Open Graph tags: og:title, og:description, og:image and og:url. X also reads its own twitter:card tag to choose the card layout. Google builds a search result from the title tag and the meta description. If the tags are missing or wrong, the link shows with no picture, the wrong title or a cropped image.
There is no fixed rule. A title of up to about 60 characters and a description of about 120 to 160 characters are commonly recommended, because longer text is usually cut in search results. Google measures width in pixels, not characters, and may rewrite either one.
Platforms keep a cached copy of each link preview. After you change a tag, ask the platform to read the page again with the official tools: the Meta Sharing Debugger and the LinkedIn Post Inspector.
The previews are approximations. They are simple mock-ups in the general style of each platform, not copies of the real apps, and every platform changes its design from time to time. The tool reads the page source our server receives, so tags that are added by JavaScript after the page loads may be missing here even though some platforms can read them. It cannot see what a platform has already cached for your link. It cannot check the file size of the image or how readable it is. Google may rewrite titles and descriptions, so the search preview shows what you asked for, not what Google will choose.
The tags this checker reads and what each one does.
| Tag | What it does | Good practice |
|---|---|---|
| <title> | Title of the search result and the browser tab | Up to about 60 characters, unique per page |
| meta description | Text under the title in search results | About 120 to 160 characters |
| og:title | Title of the link card on social and chat apps | Short and clear, with no need for the brand name |
| og:description | Text under the title on the link card | One or two sentences |
| og:image | Picture on the link card | Full https address, at least 1200 x 630 px, close to 1.91:1 |
| og:image:width / height | Tells the crawler the image size up front | Match the real size of the image |
| og:url | The main address shares are counted against | Same as the canonical link |
| og:type | What kind of page it is | website or article |
| twitter:card | Card layout on X | summary_large_image for a large picture |
| link rel="canonical" | The main address of the page | One tag, full address |

They are approximations. Each one is a simple mock-up in the general style of the platform, built from the same tags the platform reads. The real apps change their layouts often and may cut text at slightly different points.
It is a tool that reads the Open Graph tags on a page, such as og:title, og:description and og:image, and tells you which are missing or wrong. This tool does that and also shows what the result looks like.
Meta recommends at least 1200 x 630 pixels at a ratio close to 1.91:1. That size is also the commonly recommended choice for LinkedIn, X and chat apps.
They keep a cached copy. Use the Meta Sharing Debugger or the LinkedIn Post Inspector to make the platform read your page again. This tool links to both.
The tool reads the page source our server receives. If your site adds the tag with JavaScript after the page loads, it is not in that source. Many crawlers do not run JavaScript either, so it is safer to put share tags in the HTML itself.
You need twitter:card to choose the card layout on X. For the title, description and image, X falls back to the Open Graph tags when its own tags are missing.
Not always. Google may rewrite a title or pick different text for the description, based on the search. The preview shows what your tags ask for.
Yes. Edit the title, description or image address in the Previews tab and all the previews update as you type. Then copy the corrected meta tags from the Fix code tab.
