Free OG preview & open graph checker
Paste a URL and see exactly how the link unfurls (the Google result, the X card, the LinkedIn and Facebook share) before anyone else does.
An OG preview shows how a link will look when it’s shared: the title, description, and image that Google, X, LinkedIn, and Facebook read from a page’s Open Graph meta tags. Paste any URL below to fetch its tags and see the exact card each platform renders, before you hit send.

Open graph checker
The six tags an open graph checker reads
og:title
The headline of the share card. When it’s missing, platforms fall back to your <title> tag, which is often written for Google, not for a card.
og:description
The one-or-two-line summary under the title. Keep it under ~200 characters; most platforms truncate well before that.
og:image
The picture on the card, and the tag that breaks most shares. It must be an absolute, publicly reachable URL.
og:url + og:site_name
The canonical address and the brand label. They keep the card pointing at one clean URL even when the link carries tracking parameters.
twitter:card
Tells X which layout to use: summary (small thumbnail) or summary_large_image (full-width image). Without it, X falls back to your og: tags.
<title> + meta description
What the Google result uses. Open Graph tags don’t affect it, which is why we preview the search snippet separately above.
OG image checker
og:image, the tag that breaks most shares
Size it 1200 × 630
A 1.91:1 image at 1200 × 630 px renders sharply everywhere: X large cards, LinkedIn, Facebook, and chat apps like Slack and iMessage.
Use an absolute https URL
Relative paths and http:// images are the most common reason a card shows no image. Scrapers resolve the tag exactly as written.
Keep it publicly reachable
Platform scrapers fetch anonymously. An image behind a login, an IP allow-list, or an aggressive bot rule simply won’t appear.
Expect caching after a fix
Platforms cache scraped tags, sometimes for days. After you fix a tag, re-check here first. The preview above always fetches fresh.

Clean OG tags, automatically
Pages you publish on Pagelive ship with proper title, description, and Open Graph tags, so the link unfurls cleanly without you touching a meta tag.
See who actually opened
Every link reports opens, unique viewers, country, referrer, and time on page, so you know the unfurl worked and the page got read.
Private by default
Published pages are noindex by default, with optional password protection encrypted so we can’t see it. Shareable isn’t the same as public.
OG preview FAQ
Open Graph (OG) tags are meta tags that tell platforms what to show when a link is shared. An OG preview reads those tags and renders the actual card (title, description, and image) that Google, X, LinkedIn, or Facebook will display, so you can check a link before you send it.
The usual causes: the URL is relative instead of absolute, it’s served over http instead of https, it’s behind a login or bot protection, or the platform cached an older scrape. Fix the tag, confirm it here (this tool always fetches fresh), then re-share.
Use 1200 × 630 pixels, a 1.91:1 ratio. That single size renders sharply on X large cards, LinkedIn, Facebook, and most chat apps. Keep the file under a few MB; oversized images get skipped by some scrapers.
Not really. X retired the preview in its Card Validator in 2022, and as of June 2026 there’s no official tool that renders the card. The X / Twitter tab above fills that gap: it reads your twitter:* tags, falls back to og: tags exactly as X does, and renders the card layout.
No. Pages you publish on Pagelive get clean OG tags automatically, so the link unfurls properly in email, chat, and social, while the page itself stays noindex by default and can sit behind a password.
