Twitter/X Card Generator

Pick the card type and fill the fields: the tool generates the twitter:* tags, shows a preview and checks for common mistakes.

Privacy and cost

This tool runs in your browser. What you type or paste is not sent to our servers and it costs nothing to use.

How it works

  1. Choose the card type: summary, summary_large_image, app (app install) or player (video, audio).
  2. Enter the site account, title, description and image URL (or the app ids, or the player).
  3. Copy the tags into the <head> and fix any warning; the preview updates as you type.

Example

A summary_large_image card with the account @example, the title "10 Tips for Faster Websites", a description, an https image and its alt text produces 6 meta tags: twitter:card, twitter:site, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image and twitter:image:alt, with no warning.

What the result means

twitter:* tags define the card shown when a link is posted on X. For any missing field, X falls back to the Open Graph tags. summary_large_image features the image at a 2:1 ratio, summary shows a small square image, app offers an app install and player embeds an https iframe player.

Common problems this tool helps with

  • A link posted on X with no card because there is no twitter:card tag.
  • A missing, relative or wrongly proportioned image for the chosen card type.
  • A twitter:site handle without the @ or misspelled.
  • A player card whose URL is not https or lacks width and height.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Twitter tags if I already have Open Graph?

X reads Open Graph as a fallback, but twitter:card is still useful to choose the layout. You can fill in only twitter:card, twitter:site and the image if needed.

What is the difference between summary and summary_large_image?

summary shows a small square image beside the text; summary_large_image shows a large image above the text at a 2:1 ratio.

Do these tags still apply now that it is called X?

Yes: the twitter: prefix is still the documented one for X cards. Links behave as before.
