Check how any URL actually looks when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, or WhatsApp — by fetching its real meta tags.
Every other tool on this site runs entirely as JavaScript in your browser and never contacts a server at all. This one is a deliberate exception, by necessity: the URL you enter is sent to this site’s server, which fetches that page on your behalf to read its meta tags — that’s unavoidable for this specific tool, since a browser can’t read another site’s HTML directly. The fetch is made directly to the URL you provide, with no third-party service involved, and the page content itself is discarded immediately after its meta tags are extracted, never stored. Nothing about the request is logged, stored, written to a cookie, or shared with any third party — it's handled and discarded the moment the response is sent back to you.
This describes only what this specific tool does with what you type into it. It doesn't cover the rest of this site — see the Privacy Policy for how analytics and advertising cookies are handled elsewhere.
Paste any page URL and this fetches it directly, reads its actual meta tags, and shows exactly what Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, or WhatsApp would display when someone shares that link — not a guess, the real values. It checks Open Graph tags first (og:title, og:description, og:image), then falls back to the plain page \<title\> and meta description if Open Graph tags are missing, matching how most social platforms actually behave.
This is different from the Open Graph Preview tool, which lets you type in values by hand to preview a page you're still building. This one is for checking a page that's already live — your own, or anyone else's — to see what it actually looks like right now.
A browser can’t read another website’s HTML directly — that’s blocked by design (CORS) for security reasons across the web, not something specific to this site. Fetching the page server-side is the only way to actually read its real tags.
This falls back to the page’s plain \<title\> and meta description, the same way Facebook and other platforms do — and flags that dedicated Open Graph tags are missing, since relying on the fallback usually gives a worse-looking preview.
No — this fetches the page the same way a public visitor (or a social platform’s crawler) would, with no credentials. A page behind a login wall will show whatever its logged-out version returns.
If the URL redirects (e.g. to add a trailing slash, or to https), this follows that redirect and reads the tags from wherever it actually lands — the same page a real visitor or crawler would end up on.
