Open Graph Generator and Checker
Open Graph protocol (originally developed by Facebook) lets web pages control what appears when their URLs are shared on social platforms. This tool generates the correct og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:type tags for your page, and validates existing implementations.
SEO, GEO & AEO: why this checklist matters
Who should use this
Web developers setting up new sites, content editors auditing existing pages, and marketers troubleshooting why social link previews look wrong.
Rankings, AI answers, and citations
Open Graph tags don't directly affect Google search rankings. They control social media previews. Indirectly, better-looking social shares can drive more traffic and more linking, which contributes to domain authority over time.
What to verify before you ship
- og:image should be at least 1200x630px for best display across platforms
- og:title should match the page title tag but can be slightly longer
- og:description can be up to 200 characters, though Facebook may truncate at 120
- Validate with Facebook's Sharing Debugger after adding tags

Frequently asked questions
Written for search snippets, People Also Ask-style surfaces, and answer engines that quote short Q&A units.
What image size should I use for Open Graph?
1200x630px at 1:1.91 aspect ratio works across most platforms. Facebook recommends this size. Twitter Card images have slightly different recommendations depending on card type.
Do Open Graph tags affect SEO?
Not directly. They don't contribute to Google search rankings. They affect social media previews, which can affect how often your content gets shared and clicked, which can indirectly affect traffic and links.
What is og:type?
It tells social platforms what kind of content the page is. The most common values are 'website' for general pages and 'article' for blog posts or news. Using 'article' also enables article-specific properties like published_time and author.
Why is my Open Graph image not showing on Facebook?
Facebook caches OG data aggressively. If you updated the tags after the URL was already shared, use the Facebook Sharing Debugger to force a cache refresh. Also confirm the image URL is publicly accessible.
