Meta Tags Generator

The minimum viable block is 5 tags: <title>, <meta name='description'>, <link rel='canonical'>, <meta property='og:title'>, <meta property='og:description'>. Add <meta property='og:image'>, <meta property='og:url'>, and <meta property='og:type'> for richer social shares. Add <meta name='twitter:card'> set to 'summary_large_image' and the matching twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image for X / Twitter. Everything else (theme-color, author, locale, robots) is optional but recommended for completeness.

Functionally none — both control the headline of the share card. The only reason to set both is that X / Twitter falls back to twitter:title first, then og:title, then the page's <title> tag. Most platforms only read og:title, but if you want a different headline on X (shorter, more punchy) than on Facebook / LinkedIn (more descriptive), you can use twitter:title to override it. Our generator sets both to the same value by default, which is the right choice for 90% of pages.

Not necessarily. The page <title> and og:title can be the same. The case where they differ: when your SEO title is keyword-stuffed but your social title is more emotional / shareable. For example, a blog post about running shoes might have <title>Best Running Shoes 2026 — Tested by 12 Runners | Brand</title> (good for SEO) but og:title='We tested 12 running shoes so you don't have to' (better for shares). Set them both and tune them independently.

Canonical tells search engines which version of a URL is the 'master' copy when the same content is reachable from multiple URLs. The most common case: your site is reachable on both http:// and https://, with and without www, and with tracking parameters. Without a canonical tag, Google has to pick one (and might pick the wrong one). With a canonical tag, you tell Google explicitly: 'this is the URL I want indexed.' Add it to every page on your site, pointing to the absolute URL of that page.

Yes on both. Completely free, no signup, no per-build limit. 100% private — every line of the generated block is composed in your browser. Your title, description, URLs, image URLs, and author names are never sent to our servers, never logged, never used to train any AI.
