Free Open Graph Checker
Fetch a live URL and validate core Open Graph tags plus Twitter Cards. Preview how the link may look when shared — free og:image and social meta checker, no signup.
How it works
- 01
Enter the public URL you will share
We fetch the HTML and extract og:* and twitter:* meta properties.
- 02
Validate the essentials
Missing title, description, or image are called out so cards do not fall back to random page text.
- 03
Preview the share card
A simple layout shows how title, description, and image work together before you post.
Tags this Open Graph checker looks for
- og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type
- Twitter Card fields (card, title, description, image)
- Whether an image URL is present for rich previews
- Gaps that force platforms to invent a weak fallback snippet
Open Graph vs search meta tags
Open Graph controls social shares; <title> and meta description primarily influence search snippets. Keep them aligned but not identical when social needs a punchier hook. Check search metas with the Meta Tag Checker.
Frequently asked questions
- What is an Open Graph checker?
- It fetches a live URL and reads og:* meta tags (and Twitter Card tags) so you can verify title, description, and image before sharing on social platforms.
- Which Open Graph tags are required?
- At minimum set og:title, og:description, and og:image (ideally around 1200×630). og:url and og:type help platforms resolve the preferred share URL and object type.
- Why doesn’t my share preview update after I change tags?
- Many platforms cache link previews. After fixing tags with this checker, use each network’s debugger or wait for cache refresh. Our preview shows what the HTML declares now — not a platform’s cached card.
- Is this Open Graph / Twitter Card checker free?
- Yes. Free on TheSeoSoul, no signup. For Google-style search snippets, use the Meta Tag Checker.
