About the Meta Tag Generator

Produces the title, description, canonical, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for a page, in the order and shape the crawlers expect. Getting the social tags right is what decides whether a shared link renders as a rich preview or a bare URL.

Two fields do most of the work. The title should sit under roughly 580 pixels so it is not cut off, and the description should read as a reason to click rather than a keyword list — it is not a ranking factor, but it is the copy that determines whether anyone clicks the result.

Frequently asked questions

Which fields can I use?

One per line, as "key: value". Recognised keys are title, description, url, image, site_name, author, type, locale and twitter_handle. Only title is required; anything you leave out is simply omitted from the output, and the tool tells you what that costs — for example, no image means the social card renders as a small text-only summary rather than a large image card.

Why does the same text repeat across three sets of tags?

Because there is no single tag that serves all three consumers. The standard meta description feeds search engines, og:description feeds Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack and Discord, and twitter:description feeds X. They are separate specifications from separate companies, and a crawler reading one does not look at the others. Duplication is the correct output here, not redundancy.

What image size should I use for og:image?

At least 1200x630 pixels, at a 1.91:1 ratio, under about 5 MB, served over HTTPS at an absolute URL. Smaller than 600x315 and most platforms fall back to a small square thumbnail. Use an absolute URL, not a relative path — the crawler fetching it has no page context to resolve against.

Do meta keywords help?

No, which is why this tool does not emit them. Google stopped using the keywords meta tag as a ranking signal well over a decade ago and has said so publicly. Bing treats it as a spam signal if it is stuffed. The only thing it reliably does today is tell a competitor which terms you are targeting.

Is the canonical tag the same as og:url?

They usually hold the same value but they do different jobs. The canonical tells search engines which URL to index when several show the same content, consolidating ranking signals. og:url tells social platforms which URL to attribute shares and engagement counts to. Setting both to the page’s own absolute URL is right for almost every page.
