Social Share Preview

Before you share a link, see how it'll actually look as a social card. Enter your title, description and image and this previews the share card — so your link earns clicks instead of looking broken.

Need more than the free basics? Previewing one card is handy. To schedule, publish and preview posts across all your social accounts from one place, a tool like Vista Social does the rest.

Open Graph tags in short

When you share a URL, platforms read its Open Graph meta tags — og:title, og:description and og:image — to build the preview card. A missing or wrong image is the most common reason a shared link looks broken. Use a 1200×630px image, keep the title punchy, and set these tags on every page you expect to be shared.

Frequently asked questions

What is Open Graph?

A set of meta tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) that control how your link appears when shared on social media.

What image size should I use?

1200×630 pixels is the safe standard for Facebook, LinkedIn and X. Smaller images may be cropped or not show at all.

Why does my shared link look broken?

Usually a missing or wrongly-sized og:image, or tags the platform hasn't re-cached yet. Set the tags correctly and re-scrape the URL in the platform's debugger.
