About Meta Tag Generator

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Whatever you paste is processed on your own device and is never uploaded, logged, or sent to any server.

Fill in a short form and get a complete set of SEO, Open Graph, and Twitter Card meta tags, with a live preview of how the page will look in Google results and when shared on social media. The three families overlap but are not interchangeable — search engines read the title and description, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and most others read the Open Graph tags, and Twitter reads its own card tags with Open Graph as fallback. Getting all three right by hand is fiddly and easy to half-finish, which is why so many links unfurl as a bare URL with no image.

Key features

  • Generates SEO, Open Graph, and Twitter Card tags together from one form
  • Live Google result preview showing where the title and description truncate
  • Live social card preview of how the link will unfurl
  • Canonical URL tag, for consolidating duplicate URLs onto one address
  • Robots directive control, for noindex and nofollow pages
  • Twitter card type choice between summary_large_image and summary
  • Open Graph type and site name fields
  • Copy-ready HTML for your document head
  • Runs entirely in your browser

How to use it

  1. Enter the page title and meta description, watching the preview for truncation.
  2. Add the canonical URL and an absolute URL for the social image.
  3. Fill in the site name, Open Graph type, and Twitter handle.
  4. Set the robots directive and pick a Twitter card type.
  5. Copy the generated tags into your document head.

Tips & common mistakes

  • Keep the title under roughly 60 characters and the description under roughly 160, or search engines will truncate them mid-sentence.
  • The social image URL must be absolute, including the protocol and domain. A relative path is the single most common reason a link unfurls with no image.
  • Social image dimensions should be around 1200×630. Smaller images get cropped or downgraded to a small thumbnail card.
  • The meta description does not affect ranking directly, but it is the sales pitch in the search result and it strongly affects whether anyone clicks.
  • Set a canonical URL on any page reachable at more than one address — with and without a trailing slash, or with tracking parameters attached.
  • Facebook and LinkedIn cache aggressively. After changing Open Graph tags, use their own debugging tools to force a re-scrape or you will keep seeing the old card.
  • Twitter falls back to Open Graph when its own tags are missing, so the twitter: tags are only strictly needed when you want something different there.
  • Still need to generate the actual icon files these tags reference? Use the Favicon Generator.

It generates the essential SEO tags (title, description, robots, canonical), Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:type, og:url, og:site_name), and Twitter Card tags (twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, twitter:site).

Open Graph tags are used by Facebook, LinkedIn, and most social platforms to render link previews. Twitter Card tags are Twitter-specific but Twitter will fall back to Open Graph tags if Twitter tags are missing.

Use summary_large_image when you have a wide, high-quality hero image (1200x630px recommended). Use summary for a smaller square thumbnail — typically better for profile pages or text-heavy content.

Place them inside the <head> section of your HTML page, before the closing </head> tag. Most frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby) have a dedicated Head component for this.

No. All tag generation and previews happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.

The recommended size is 1200x630 pixels for summary_large_image cards and Open Graph. This size works well across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Under roughly 60 characters for the title and 160 for the description. Beyond that search engines truncate them mid-sentence, and the preview here shows where.

The og:image URL is almost certainly relative. It must be absolute, including the protocol and domain — this is the most common cause by a wide margin.

Facebook and LinkedIn cache scraped cards aggressively. Use their own sharing debugger tools to force a re-scrape.

Only when you want something different there. Twitter falls back to your Open Graph tags when its own are missing.

On any page reachable at more than one address — with and without a trailing slash, or with tracking parameters attached. It consolidates them onto one address.
