About Open Graph Generator

Without proper OG tags, social networks display random images and text from your page, reducing click-through rates by up to 50%. ToolsPivot's generator produces valid, optimized Open Graph code in seconds, giving you complete control over your social media presence.

Context: A food blogger publishing a recipe wants maximum Pinterest and Facebook engagement.

Process:

• Creates custom og:image featuring the finished dish at 1200x630 pixels
• Writes click-worthy og:title with recipe name and key benefit
• Generates code and adds to post header before publishing

Outcome: Recipe shares display stunning food photography with consistent branding, generating 3x more clicks than auto-generated previews.

E-commerce Product Launch

Context: Online retailer launching new product collection needs compelling social previews.

Process:

• Sets og:type to "product" for proper categorization
• Includes product image on white background at recommended dimensions
• Adds price point and key feature in description
• Runs comprehensive SEO audit before launch

Outcome: Product shares across Facebook and Pinterest display professional previews driving qualified traffic to collection pages.

SaaS Landing Page Optimization

Context: Software company wants consistent branding when team members share landing pages.

Process:

• Creates branded og:image template with logo and value proposition
• Writes benefit-focused descriptions for each landing page variant
• Implements structured data alongside OG tags

Outcome: Every share from employees, customers, and partners displays approved marketing messaging with branded visuals.

News Publisher Distribution

Process:

• Uses article type with publication time metadata
• Generates tags with headline and lead paragraph
• Updates og:image when better photography becomes available

Outcome: News stories display consistently across platforms with publisher branding and appropriate imagery.

Open Graph Image Specifications

The og:image property requires specific dimensions for optimal display across platforms. Facebook recommends 1200x630 pixels with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio, which displays as a large preview card. Images below 600x315 pixels appear as small thumbnails, significantly reducing engagement. The minimum accepted size is 200x200 pixels, but this results in barely visible previews.

Recommended Dimensions by Platform:

• Facebook: 1200x630 pixels (1.91:1 ratio)
• LinkedIn: 1200x627 pixels (1.91:1 ratio)
• Twitter: 1200x675 pixels (16:9 ratio)
• Pinterest: 1000x1500 pixels (2:3 ratio for pins)

Keep file sizes under 5MB, with JPEG format preferred for photographs and PNG for graphics with text or transparency. Use the image compressor to optimize large files, or resize images to exact OG specifications.

Include og:image:width and og:image:height tags to enable pre-caching, ensuring your image displays correctly on first share rather than showing a placeholder.

How to Test Your Open Graph Tags

After implementing your generated code, verify it displays correctly using platform debugging tools. Facebook's Sharing Debugger shows exactly how your URL appears and highlights missing or problematic tags. LinkedIn's Post Inspector performs similar validation and clears cached previews.

Testing Process:

Enter your URL into each platform's debugger and review the preview. If the image or text appears incorrectly, check that your tags are placed within the head section and that image URLs are fully qualified with https://. Re-scrape the URL after making corrections to clear cached versions.

Common issues include missing og:image, relative URLs instead of absolute URLs, and images failing minimum size requirements. Use ToolsPivot's Open Graph Checker to analyze existing meta tags and identify problems before sharing.

Open Graph tags are a specific type of meta tag designed for social media. They use the og: prefix and follow Facebook's Open Graph protocol, while standard meta tags target search engines.

What are the required Open Graph tags?

Four tags are required: og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:url. Without these, social platforms cannot generate proper previews.

Do Open Graph tags affect SEO?
