URL Preview - Extract Title, Description, Thumbnail

We fetch the URL to extract metadata. We do not store your input.

When you share a link and the preview looks wrong (title, description, thumbnail), the fastest way to debug is to inspect Open Graph and Twitter meta tags. This tool fetches a URL and shows what metadata is actually being exposed.

Paste a URL to extract title, description, and thumbnail (Open Graph). Great for blogs and marketing.

Why you may need this tool

Link previews depend on metadata such as Open Graph and Twitter tags. When a shared link shows the wrong title, description, or thumbnail, the cause can be unclear: missing tags, inaccessible images, caching behavior, or incorrect canonical URLs. A URL preview tool helps you see what metadata is currently exposed, so you can identify what to fix before you publish or share widely.

How to use

Paste a URL, fetch preview metadata, and check whether title/description/image are present and accessible.

Paste a URL
Click 'Fetch preview'
Copy title/description or use the thumbnail

Examples

Diagnosing missing thumbnails in link previews

If an image fails to appear, the cause is often an inaccessible og: image URL. Preview output helps you confirm which URL is used and whether it can be fetched.

Verifying titles and descriptions before release

Publishing without checking metadata can lead to inconsistent previews. A quick preview check reduces the need for post - release fixes and confusion in shared channels.

Benefits & differentiators

A single view of extracted metadata makes publishing workflows more reliable. You can quickly determine whether the issue is missing tags or a resource access problem. Preview checks also support collaboration: developers and publishers can reference the same extracted values when diagnosing changes after deployment or content updates.

Who this is for

Recommended if you: - publish pages and want predictable link previews - debug Open Graph/Twitter tag issues - validate thumbnail accessibility and metadata completeness - coordinate metadata fixes across teams

FAQ

Why does this use a server request?

Many sites block browser cross - origin requests (CORS). We fetch the page on the server and extract Open Graph meta tags.

What data is extracted?

We extract title, description, site name, canonical URL, and thumbnail from OG/Twitter meta tags when available.

Will it work for every URL?

Some sites block bots or require JavaScript rendering. In those cases, preview data may be missing.

Why is the thumbnail missing?

The page may not provide og: image/twitter: image, or it may be blocked/invalid. Check the extracted tags and verify the image URL is publicly accessible.

Does this store my URLs?

No. The tool fetches the page to extract metadata and does not store your URLs.
