Open Graph Meta Generator

The Open Graph Meta Generator is a powerful tool designed to help developers and content creators generate proper HTML meta tags for their websites. These meta tags are essential for optimizing how your content appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.

What is Open Graph?

Open Graph is a protocol that enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. Originally created by Facebook, it's now used by many social media platforms to understand and display your content more effectively.

When someone shares a link to your website on social media, the platform uses Open Graph meta tags to determine:

  • The title that appears in the post
  • The description text
  • The image to display
  • The type of content (website, article, video, etc.)

  • Misclassify your content type

Proper meta tags ensure that:

  • Your content looks professional when shared
  • Users get a clear preview of what they're clicking
  • Your brand is properly represented
