The Free URL Preview Generator & OG Tag Checker

Your link preview is your social media ad. If your shared link shows a broken image, a generic title, or the wrong description, you are instantly losing clicks, credibility, and traffic. First impressions are everything.

Introducing the ToolsInFree URL Preview Generator—the essential, free online tool that allows you to instantly check, validate, and troubleshoot your link metadata. Before you hit “Post” on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, or Telegram, use our tool to ensure your content always shares perfectly.

We provide a live preview of how your link will appear across all major platforms, giving you the power to verify and edit your OG (Open Graph) Tags and other critical metadata instantly. Stop sacrificing click-through rates (CTR) to poor presentation and start ensuring your content looks professional every single time.

What Are OG Tags and Why Do They Kill Your CTR?

OG Tags (Open Graph Tags) are snippets of code embedded in your webpage’s HTML that control how social media platforms scrape and display your link preview. These tags determine the image, title, and description that appear when you share your URL.

If your OG tags are missing, incorrect, or pointing to outdated information, social media platforms will guess—often pulling a random image, an unhelpful title, or a jumbled snippet of text.

The Consequences of a Broken Link Preview:

  • Low Click-Through Rate (CTR): An unattractive or irrelevant preview image and title drastically reduces a viewer’s motivation to click.

  • Wasted Ad Spend: If you’re running paid social campaigns, a bad preview is equivalent to paying for an ad that repels customers.

  • Poor Brand Perception: Sharing links with broken images or generic text makes your brand look unprofessional and unprepared.

  • SEO Signal Loss: Clean, consistent metadata helps search engines and social algorithms better understand and categorize your content.
