What is an Open Graph tag?

Open Graph (OG) tags are HTML meta elements placed in a page's that tell social platforms — Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, etc. — what title, description, and image to display when someone shares your URL.

What image size should I use for og:image?

The recommended size is 1200 × 630 pixels (roughly 1.91:1 ratio). Facebook and LinkedIn display it at around 600 × 315 px, so keep important content centred. Use JPEG or PNG, and keep the file under 8 MB.

Do I need both OG and Twitter Card tags?

Twitter/X falls back to og:title and og:description if Twitter Card tags are absent, but it does not fall back for og:image in all cases. Adding explicit twitter:card, twitter:title, and twitter:image tags gives you the most reliable previews across all platforms.

What is the difference between og:type values?

"website" is the default for most pages. Use "article" for blog posts and news (pair it with article:published_time), "video.other" for video pages, and "product" for e-commerce items. The type value can unlock additional platform-specific display features.

How do I test my Open Graph tags after deploying them?

Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug), LinkedIn Post Inspector (linkedin.com/post-inspector), or Twitter Card Validator. These tools fetch your live URL and show exactly how the preview will appear, and they also clear platform caches.
