Twitter Cards Generator

Twitter Cards are meta tags that attach rich media previews to tweets linking to your website. Without them, a link appears as plain text. With them, X fetches your title, description and image to display a rich card beneath the tweet, significantly increasing click-through rates.

The summary card shows a small 1:1 thumbnail alongside the title and description. The summary_large_image card shows a large banner image (2:1 ratio, min 300×157px) above the title and description. Large image cards get significantly more engagement and are recommended for blog posts and articles.

Ideally yes, but Twitter falls back to og: tags if twitter: tags are missing. If you already have complete Open Graph tags, adding twitter:card is often sufficient. Adding explicit twitter: tags gives you more control and lets you use different content for Twitter vs other platforms.

Use the Twitter Card Validator at cards-dev.twitter.com/validator (you need to be logged in to X). Enter your URL and click Preview card. X caches card data — after updating your tags, you may need to use the validator to trigger a cache refresh.
