About This Tool

The Twitter / X Card Preview shows you how your page will appear when shared on Twitter (now X) and generates the correct meta tags to add to your HTML. Twitter Cards replace the plain link text with a rich preview card that includes a title, description, and optional image.

Two card types are supported: Summary with Large Image (full-width image banner β€” most impactful) and Summary (small square thumbnail alongside text β€” good for articles and podcasts).

How to Use

  1. Choose Summary or Summary with Large Image card type.
  2. Fill in the title, description, and optionally an image URL.
  3. The preview updates in real time to show how the card will look.
  4. Copy the generated meta tags and paste them into your HTML <head>.

Use Cases

Content marketers preview Twitter Cards before launching campaigns to ensure the image and copy render correctly. Developers add Twitter Card meta tags to blog posts, product pages, and landing pages to increase click-through rate from social shares. SEO teams audit existing pages to find missing or incorrectly configured cards.

FAQ

  • What image size should I use? β€” For Summary with Large Image: 1200Γ—628 px (2:1 ratio). For Summary: at least 144Γ—144 px square. Maximum 5 MB.
  • Do I need to register with Twitter? β€” Twitter / X no longer requires developer card approval. Just add the meta tags and the card will appear.
  • Can I use the same tags for LinkedIn and Facebook? β€” LinkedIn and Facebook use Open Graph tags (og:title, og:image, etc.), not Twitter Card tags. Use the OG Tag Generator tool for those platforms.
