What the Open Graph Preview Tool does

Preview how a page’s Open Graph title, description, and image may look when shared. Use the mockup to catch missing or mismatched social copy before a link is circulated.

The notes here explain how shared links render on social platforms and what a mismatched preview tells you to fix.

Why the Open Graph Preview Tool is useful

A page can have strong on-page copy but an unclear share card. Reviewing the social fields together helps ensure the link preview communicates the right context.

Previewing pays off just before a link is shared, while the copy and image can still be changed.
