What this is

A share card is the preview block that appears when a link is pasted into a social or messaging app: an image, a title, a short description, and the domain name. Its shape differs by network — some show a wide image above, some a small one beside, and each truncates the title at a different length. This tool assembles those cards from what you type, so you can see what gets cut before the link circulates.

How it works

The cards here are built from what you type rather than read from your page. That is the limitation, but it is also why the tool works before a page is published — you can design the title and image first, then write them into your Open Graph tags once the shape is right.

Truncation differs by network. Facebook shows roughly two lines of title, X cuts the title shorter and often hides the description entirely on a large-image card, and WhatsApp shows a compact card with the shortest description. A title that works everywhere is usually under 60 characters.

The image is cropped to the card's ratio rather than shrunk whole. Since most networks use around 1.91:1, text placed near the top or bottom edge of an image can disappear in some views — keep important elements toward the middle.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the title, description and domain Every card updates together as you type.
  2. Add the image Either from a file on your device or from an already-published image address.
  3. Compare the networks Watch for a truncated title, then shorten it until it survives everywhere.

Common questions

What size should a share card image be?
Use 1200×630 pixels, a ratio of about 1.91:1 that most networks display in full. The same size serves the og:image tag, so one file covers everything.
How long can a card title be?
A title under about 60 characters survives on nearly every network, while a description is best kept under about 120 because some cards show only one line. Put the important part at the start rather than the end.
Does this tool read my page's tags?
No — the cards are built from what you type and the tool visits no address. That means it works before your page exists, but it cannot tell you whether the tags on an already-live page are correct.
Is the image I choose uploaded?
No — an image file is read by your browser alone and never sent to our servers. If you use an image address instead, your browser fetches it directly from wherever that image lives.

Notes

  • The cards are built from your input, not read from a live page.
  • Each network's card layout changes over time; treat these as approximations of the shape.
