Free OG Preview Checker: See How Your Links Look on Social Media
When someone shares your link on Facebook, X, LinkedIn, or Slack, it generates a preview card with a title, description, and image. If your Open Graph (OG) tags are missing or misconfigured, the preview looks broken — no image, wrong title, or truncated text.
Citedy's free OG Preview Checker shows you exactly how your links appear on every major social platform before you share them.

FAQ
Why does my link show the wrong image on Facebook?
Usually because og:image is missing, points to a broken URL, or the image is too small. Use the OG checker to diagnose and fix the specific issue.
What's the recommended OG image size?
1200x630 pixels for optimal display across all platforms. Minimum 600x315 for Facebook.
Do OG tags affect SEO?
Not directly, but they significantly affect social sharing engagement. More shares and clicks from social media indirectly benefit SEO through increased traffic and brand signals.
