What is Open Graph(OG)?
The Open Graph Protocol is a set of meta tags (HTML code pieces in the <head> section of a webpage) that social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter (now X), LinkedIn, and others use to understand and display content when links are shared.
The og:image tag is the specific Open Graph meta tag that specifies the URL of the image you want to be displayed as a preview thumbnail when the link is shared. A compelling image is crucial for getting clicks and engagement. It's a critical tool for web developers and content creators to ensure their content looks professional and appealing every time it's shared on social media.
Core Required Properties
Every webpage should include these four core Open Graph properties to ensure social media platforms can correctly fetch and display content previews:
| Property | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| og:title | The title of your content that will appear on the shared preview card. Recommended length is 60-70 characters. | <meta property="og:title" content="Your Amazing Article Title" /> |
| og:type | The type of content, such as website, article, video.movie, or music.song. Defaults to website if not specified. | <meta property="og:type" content="article" /> |
| og:image | The URL of the image representing your content. This is the most important element in social media share previews. Recommended size is 1200x630 pixels. | <meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/image.jpg" /> |
| og:url | The canonical URL of the content. This should be the permanent link to the page, helping to aggregate all share and like counts. | <meta property="og:url" content="https://example.com/page-url" /> |
Recommended and Optional Properties
Beyond the core properties, there are many recommended and optional properties for enhanced content presentation:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| og:description | A brief description of the content that appears below the title. Recommended length is 160-200 characters. |
| og:site_name | The name of the website that the content belongs to. |
| og:locale | The locale of the content in the format language_TERRITORY, such as en_US (US English) or zh_TW (Traditional Chinese). Default is en_US. |
| og:video | The URL of the video content. |
| og:audio | The URL of the audio content. |
Structured Properties
Some tags can have sub-properties to provide more detailed information. The most commonly used are the sub-properties of og:image:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| og:image:width | The width of the preview image in pixels. |
| og:image:height | The height of the preview image in pixels. |
| og:image:alt | Alternative text description for the image. |
| og:image:type | The MIME type of the image (e.g., image/jpeg). |
| og:image:secure_url | HTTPS image URL if the webpage uses HTTPS. |
Type-Specific Properties
When og:type is set to specific values (such as article), you can add type-specific properties:
| Type | Example Properties | Description |
|---|---|---|
| article | article:author | Facebook Profile URL of the article author. |
| article | article:published_time | The publication time of the article. |

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat is Open Graph and why is it important?
Open Graph is a protocol that allows you to control how your content appears when shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. It's crucial for social media marketing because it determines the preview image, title, and description that users see when your link is shared, directly impacting click-through rates and engagement.
QWhat are the essential Open Graph tags I need?
The four essential Open Graph tags are: og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:url. Additionally, og:description is highly recommended for better social media previews.
QWhat image dimensions work best for Open Graph?
The recommended Open Graph image size is 1200x630 pixels with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. This size works well across all major social media platforms. Images should be in JPG or PNG format and under 8MB in size for optimal loading performance.
QWhy is my Open Graph image not showing up?
Common reasons include: the image URL is not accessible, the image is too large or in an unsupported format, the og:image tag is missing or incorrectly formatted, or social media platforms haven't refreshed their cache. Use our checker to identify and fix these issues.
QHow many URLs can I check at once?
You can check up to 100 URLs simultaneously in a single batch. Simply enter multiple URLs separated by commas, spaces, line breaks, semicolons, or tabs. The tool will process them automatically and display results for each URL.
QWhat should I do if I get a “Too many requests” error?
This is a rate limiting protection mechanism. When this error occurs, please wait 10 seconds before trying again. We recommend using the tool reasonably and avoiding excessive requests in a short time period to ensure fair usage for all users.
QHow accurate is the preview compared to actual social media?
Our preview cards are designed to closely match how content appears on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. However, social media platforms may occasionally update their display formats. The preview provides an accurate representation of the current standard format used by major platforms.
QDo I need to register or pay to use this tool?
No registration or payment is required. Our Open Graph checker is completely free to use with no hidden costs, premium tiers, or account creation needed. You can start checking your URLs immediately without providing any personal information.
QWhat's the difference between og:image and og:image:alt?
og:image specifies the URL of the image to display, while og:image:alt provides alternative text for accessibility. The alt text helps screen readers describe the image to visually impaired users and can also improve SEO.
QHow often should I check my Open Graph tags?
It's recommended to check your Open Graph tags whenever you update your website content, change images, or modify page titles and descriptions. Regular checks ensure your social media previews remain accurate and engaging, especially after website redesigns or content updates.
