What is Open Graph (OG)?
Have you ever shared a link on Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn and noticed how it automatically turns into a beautiful card with an image, title, and description? That magic is powered by Open Graph (OG) meta tags.
Originally created by Facebook, the Open Graph protocol is now the industry standard for how URLs are displayed on social media. Without these tags, social platforms often guess what to show, which can result in broken images or irrelevant text. Our Open Graph Generator helps you create these tags perfectly every time.

FAQ
Q. Do I need these tags for SEO?
A. While OG tags don't directly affect Google search rankings, they heavily influence social media engagement. Higher engagement (likes, shares, clicks) can indirectly boost your SEO performance.
Q. Why isn't my image showing up on Facebook?
A. Facebook caches images. If you updated your tags but see the old image, use the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool to force a scrape of your URL.
Q. Can I use this for Twitter?
A. Yes! While Twitter has its own `twitter:card` tags, it also falls back to Open Graph tags if Twitter-specific ones are missing. Our tool covers the essentials.
