What is OGP (Open Graph)?
Open Graph Protocol (OGP) is a small set of <meta> tags you put in the <head> of a web page. They tell other services — social networks, chat apps, and increasingly AI assistants — the title, description, and image to use when your link is shown as a card.
When someone pastes your link into X, Facebook, LINE, Slack, or Discord, that platform reads your Open Graph tags and builds a preview card. If the tags are missing, the card falls back to whatever it can scrape, which is often a bare, unappealing link with no image. Twitter (X) uses a closely related set called Twitter Cards; most sites set both.
Why it matters — for clicks and for AI
A rich card with a clear title, a one-line description, and a 1200×630 image gets far more clicks than a plain URL. That is the direct, human reason to get OGP right.
There is a second reason that is easy to miss: the same title and description meta tags are among the first things large language models and AI search engines read to understand what a page is about. Clean, accurate Open Graph tags make your page easier for both people and AI to summarise correctly. Getting them wrong — or leaving them empty — means a machine has to guess.
How to use this tool
- Paste the full URL of the page you want to check.
- Read the preview cards to see how Google, X, Facebook, and LINE will render your link.
- Look at the missing-tags list to see exactly what is absent.
- Copy the ready-to-paste meta block and add it inside your page’s <head>. Replace the image placeholder with a real 1200×630 image.
- Re-check to confirm the card now looks the way you want.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this OGP checker free?
- Yes. Paste a URL and get the preview, the missing-tags list, and ready-to-paste code with no signup and no credit card.
- What image size should og:image be?
- Use 1200×630 pixels for the large card that X, Facebook, and LINE prefer. Smaller images may be cropped or shown as a small thumbnail.
- My tags look right but the old card still shows. Why?
- Platforms cache Open Graph data. After you update the tags, use the platform’s own debugger (for example Facebook’s Sharing Debugger) to force a refresh.
- Do Open Graph tags help with AI search?
- They help. The title and description you set are among the signals AI assistants and AI search engines use to understand and summarise your page. They are one part of a bigger picture — run the free 10-point check for the rest.
