What is Open Graph metadata?

Open Graph metadata is a set of page tags that social platforms use to build link previews. These tags usually describe the title, description, image, and canonical URL that should appear when a page is shared.

Because different platforms cache and display previews differently, it is useful to inspect the metadata directly before publishing or troubleshooting a page card.

Tool description

This tool fetches metadata for a URL and renders an Open Graph-style preview card. It shows the main preview image along with the detected title, description, and other social metadata fields.

It is helpful when you want to see how a page may appear in link shares without relying on a specific social network scraper.

Features

  • Live metadata fetch: Reads the target URL and extracts preview-related tags
  • Preview card rendering: Displays the page in a format that mirrors social sharing cards
  • Field inspection: Shows Open Graph and Twitter metadata side by side when available

How it works

The tool requests the page, parses the metadata tags, and uses the extracted values to render a visual preview. Remote images are displayed directly so you can inspect the exact asset the card would use.

Limitations

  • The result depends on the page being publicly reachable.
  • Sites that block scraping or require authentication may not preview correctly.
  • The final card can still differ from what a specific platform shows because each platform applies its own rules.
