What Is An Open Graph Preview Tool?

An Open Graph preview tool shows how a web page may appear when shared on social platforms such as LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp and X/Twitter. It helps you check the title, description, image and URL before sharing a link.

What Are Open Graph Tags?

Open Graph tags are HTML meta tags that describe how a page should look when shared on social media. The Open Graph protocol was originally introduced by Facebook and is documented at Open Graph Protocol.
