The tool checks dimensions, aspect ratio, file size, and format against OG standards for each platform.
Address any failing checks, resize or reformat your image, then re-upload to confirm it passes all requirements.
Open Graph (OG) images are the preview thumbnails that appear when you share a URL on Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Each platform has slightly different size and format requirements. This tool checks your image against all of them at once and highlights any issues that could cause cropping, rejection, or poor display quality.
The universally recommended OG image size is 1200 × 630 pixels at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. This works well across Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. Avoid going below 600 × 315px as it will be displayed in a smaller format.
JPEG is the most universally supported format and keeps file sizes small. PNG works well when you need transparency or sharp text. WebP is supported by most modern crawlers but may not render on older platforms. Avoid GIF and BMP for OG images.
Facebook recommends keeping OG images under 8 MB, but for best performance aim for under 300 KB. Large files slow down link preview loading. Twitter/X enforces a 5 MB limit for card images. LinkedIn recommends under 5 MB as well.
No. All image analysis is done entirely in your browser using JavaScript's Canvas API and File API. Your image never leaves your device. When you use the URL option, the image is fetched client-side only.
Facebook crops images that don't match the expected 1.91:1 aspect ratio. If your image is square or portrait-oriented, Facebook will center-crop it to fit the landscape preview card. Always use a 1200×630px image to avoid unwanted cropping.
Twitter's summary_large_image card requires images of at least 300 × 157 pixels with a 2:1 aspect ratio. Maximum size is 5 MB. Supported formats are JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. The image must be publicly accessible (no auth required).
LinkedIn recommends a minimum of 1200 × 627 pixels at roughly 1.91:1. Images smaller than 200 × 200px will not display a preview at all. LinkedIn supports JPEG and PNG, and recommends keeping file size under 5 MB for fast loading.
Platform specifications change occasionally. Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn each publish developer documentation with current requirements. This tool reflects the latest widely-accepted standards as of early 2026. Always cross-check with official platform docs before major campaigns.
An Open Graph image checklist is a systematic set of criteria your social sharing image must meet before it will display correctly across platforms like Facebook, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. When you share a URL on social media, these platforms read the og:image meta tag from your page's HTML and fetch the specified image to display as a preview card. If that image doesn't meet the platform's size, format, or ratio requirements, the result is a cropped thumbnail, a broken image icon, or no preview at all.
This tool automates that checklist. Rather than manually checking pixel dimensions in an image editor and cross-referencing multiple platform documentation pages, you can drop your image in and instantly see a pass/fail report for every relevant criterion on every major platform.

Open Graph images are arguably the most important visual element in social media marketing. Studies consistently show that content shared with a compelling, correctly-formatted preview image receives significantly higher click-through rates than content with broken or missing thumbnails. A well-optimized OG image:
While OG images are not a direct Google ranking factor, their impact on social engagement indirectly affects SEO through increased traffic, lower bounce rates, and more backlinks from content that gets widely shared.
Each social platform interprets OG image metadata slightly differently and enforces its own size limits. Here's a summary of what the major platforms require:
Facebook is the origin of the Open Graph protocol and has the most widely-followed specifications. The recommended image size is 1200 × 630 pixels at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. Minimum size for display is 600 × 315px, but images this small will only appear as small thumbnails rather than large preview cards. Facebook supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF, with a maximum file size of 8 MB. For best results, keep your image under 1 MB and use JPEG for photographs.
Twitter uses its own Card markup, but respects og:image as a fallback. For the summary_large_image card type, images must be at least 300 × 157 pixels at a 2:1 aspect ratio, with a maximum size of 5 MB. Twitter supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, and animated GIF. Images are cropped to a 2:1 ratio, so make sure your key visual content is centered horizontally and vertically.
LinkedIn recommends images of at least 1200 × 627 pixels, very close to the Facebook recommendation. Images smaller than 200 × 200 pixels will not show a preview at all. LinkedIn primarily supports JPEG and PNG, and recommends keeping file size under 5 MB. Note that LinkedIn caches shared URLs aggressively — after fixing an OG image, you may need to use LinkedIn's Post Inspector tool to clear the cache and force a re-scrape.
Messaging apps that generate link previews also read OG image tags. WhatsApp displays images at a square crop by default, so centered compositions tend to work better. iMessage on iOS respects the full OG spec and shows rectangular previews. A safe minimum for messaging apps is 300 × 300 pixels.
After auditing thousands of pages, these are the most common OG image issues developers and marketers encounter:
/images/og.jpg instead of an absolute URL — social crawlers cannot resolve relative paths.png extension or an incorrect Content-Type headerAfter correcting any issues flagged by this checklist tool, verify the live result using each platform's official debugging tools. Facebook provides the Sharing Debugger at developers.facebook.com/tools/debug, which re-scrapes your URL and shows exactly what the OG tags contain. Twitter offers the Card Validator at cards-dev.twitter.com/validator. LinkedIn has the Post Inspector at linkedin.com/post-inspector.
Each tool will show you a rendered preview of your link card and flag any warnings or errors in your meta tags. Run your URL through all three after any OG metadata change, especially after a domain migration, CMS update, or template redesign that could silently break OG tag output.
Beyond meeting the minimum technical requirements, here are design and workflow best practices that separate mediocre OG images from high-performing ones:
