Meta Tag Generator

Generate copy-paste-ready HTML meta tags — title, description, canonical, Open Graph and Twitter Cards — with live length counters so nothing gets truncated in search results.

Which meta tags actually matter

The <title> and meta description control your search snippet — Google truncates titles around 60 characters and descriptions around 155–160, which is what the counters track. The canonical tag prevents duplicate-content dilution when a page is reachable at multiple URLs. Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) control how links look when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack and most chat apps; Twitter/X reads its own twitter:card tags first and falls back to Open Graph. Keywords meta tags are deliberately omitted — search engines have ignored them since 2009.

Frequently asked questions

What size should the og:image be?

1200 × 630 pixels is the safe standard — it renders sharply on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter's large-image card. Keep it under ~1 MB and use an absolute URL.

Do meta tags improve rankings?

The description doesn't directly affect ranking, but a compelling one raises click-through rate, which does matter. The title tag is a genuine ranking signal — put your main keyword near the front.

Where do these tags go?

Inside <head>, as early as practical. Paste the generated block and remove any duplicates your CMS already outputs.
