What are Open Graph tags and meta tags?
When someone shares a link on LinkedIn, Slack, X, or Facebook, those platforms read a set of hidden HTML tags in the page's <head> to generate the preview card — the image, title, and description that appear before someone clicks. These are called Open Graph tags (created by Facebook) and standard HTML meta tags.
Get Metadata fetches any URL server-side and extracts these tags so you can verify what your pages look like when shared, debug missing images, and fix titles or descriptions that are too long, too short, or missing entirely.
| Tag | What it controls | Recommended length |
|---|---|---|
| og:title / title | The page title in search results and social previews | 50–60 characters |
| og:description / description | The snippet shown under the title in search and social | 150–160 characters |
| og:image | The preview image when a link is shared on social media | 1200×630 px, under 8 MB |
| og:type | Content type (website, article, product, etc.) | website for most pages |
| twitter:card | Preview card style on X (Twitter) | summary_large_image recommended |
Frequently asked questions
What is an Open Graph image?
An Open Graph image is the preview image that appears when a link is shared on social media platforms like LinkedIn, X, Facebook, and Slack. It is set via the og:image meta tag in a page's HTML head. The recommended size is 1200×630 pixels.
What is the ideal meta title length?
Google typically displays 50 to 60 characters of a page title in search results. Titles longer than 60 characters may be truncated with an ellipsis. Aim for titles that fit within this range while accurately describing the page.
What is the ideal meta description length?
Google typically shows 150 to 160 characters of a meta description in search results. Descriptions longer than 160 characters may be cut off. Write descriptions that summarise the page clearly within this range.
Why is my OG image not showing when I share a link?
Social platforms cache OG data. After updating your og:image tag, use the platform's URL debugger (Facebook Sharing Debugger, LinkedIn Post Inspector) to force a cache refresh. Also ensure the image URL is absolute (starts with https://) and the image is publicly accessible.
Does Get Metadata store any data?
No. The tool fetches the URL server-side and returns the extracted metadata directly to your browser. Nothing is logged or stored.
