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

  1. 01

    Enter the public URL you will share

    We fetch the HTML and extract og:* and twitter:* meta properties.

  2. 02

    Validate the essentials

    Missing title, description, or image are called out so cards do not fall back to random page text.

  3. 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.
