What is the Social Share Preview Simulator?
Before you publish a page or paste a link into a chat, it helps to know exactly what other people will see. This simulator lets you type or paste your title, description, image URL, site name and page URL, and instantly renders realistic preview cards for the four places a shared link is judged the most: Facebook's link card, X/Twitter's summary card, LinkedIn's post preview and Google's search result snippet.
Each preview updates live as you type, with a character counter so you can see exactly where Facebook, X and Google start truncating a title or description. When you are happy with the result, copy the ready-made block of <code><meta property="og:..."></code> and <code><meta name="twitter:..."></code> tags and paste it into your page's <code><head></code>. Manual entry is the reliable core of this tool: most websites block cross-origin JavaScript from reading their own pages (a security feature called CORS), so a one-click "fetch this URL's tags" button would silently fail on the majority of real sites — instead, view any page's source or dev tools to copy its current tag values in seconds.

Questions people ask
Why is there no auto-fetch from a live URL?
Browsers block cross-origin reads of another site's HTML by default (CORS). Reliable auto-fetch would need a server-side proxy, so this tool focuses on accurate manual entry — the same information is a few seconds away in your browser's View Source or dev tools.
What size should my og:image be?
1200×630 px works well everywhere; some platforms crop it to other ratios, so keep the main subject centred.
Why does Facebook still show my old preview?
Facebook caches shared links. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger to force it to re-fetch your tags.
Do I need separate Twitter/X tags?
X reads twitter:* tags first and falls back to og:* tags if they are missing, so it is safest to include both.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything is rendered locally in your browser from what you type.
