Frequently Asked Questions
Twitter Cards are special HTML meta tags added to a website's <head> section. When someone tweets a link to your site, X reads these tags to render a rich media preview containing an image, title, description, and website attribution, rather than just plain text.
Open Graph tags (prefixed with og:) are an open standard used primarily by Facebook, LinkedIn, Discord, and WhatsApp. Twitter Cards (prefixed with twitter:) are proprietary tags tailored specifically for X. While X can fall back on Open Graph tags if Twitter Card tags are missing, adding explicit Twitter Card tags guarantees maximum presentation quality and unlocks special layouts like App and Player cards.
Technically, no, but it is highly recommended. X's crawler will read og:title, og:description, and og:image as fallbacks. However, you MUST at least include the <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"> tag, otherwise, X will default to a tiny thumbnail preview instead of a large, engaging image.
For Summary with Large Image cards, the ideal image dimension is 1200 x 630 pixels (an aspect ratio of 1.91:1) with a maximum file size of 5MB. For standard Summary cards, you should use a square image of at least 300 x 300 pixels.
If your image is missing, ensure that the image URL is absolute (e.g., https://example.com/image.jpg), not relative. Also, verify that the image is under the 5MB file limit, is hosted on a secure (HTTPS) server, and is not being blocked by a firewall or robots.txt file.
Once your code is live on your server, you can test your webpage using our Open Graph Checker. Alternatively, you can paste your URL directly into a Tweet draft on the X web app to inspect the live preview before hitting publish.
