    Meta Tag Generator

    Build the title, description, canonical, robots, Open Graph and X card tags for a page, then copy them into your HTML head.

    Runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded.

    Search result

    0 chars · 0/580px
    0 chars · 0/920px

    The one address you want Google to index for this page.

    Social sharing (Open Graph and X)

    Leave the title, description and URL blank to reuse the ones above.

    Use a full https:// address. 1200 × 630 px works well.

    en_US for US English.

    Page basics

    Your meta tags

    • Add a title: it is the headline of your search result.
    • Add a meta description, or Google will write its own snippet.
    • Add a canonical URL so Google knows which version of the page to index.
    • Add a social image (1200 × 630 px works well) so shared links don't look bare.
    <meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="robots" content="max-image-preview:large">

    Paste these inside the <head> of your page.

    How to use it

    1. 1

      Fill in the page title, meta description and canonical URL. The counters show how much room Google gives you.

    2. 2

      Choose the robots options. Leave indexing and link following on unless you want the page kept out of search.

    3. 3

      Add the social image, its description, the site name and your X accounts. Blank social titles and descriptions reuse the ones above.

    4. 4

      Copy the tags into the head of your page, then check the live page with the On-Page SEO Checker.

    Why it matters

    The tags in a page's head tell search engines and social networks what the page is called, which URL is the real one and how to show a shared link. They are small, but a missing canonical or a stray noindex can quietly cost you traffic.

    The title and description feed your Google result, though Google may rewrite either one. Open Graph and X card tags control the image, headline and summary that appear when someone shares the page on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Slack or iMessage.

    The generator leaves out tags that do nothing. Google ignores the meta keywords tag, and “index, follow” is the default, so a robots tag appears only when you change something or allow large image previews.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which meta tags matter for SEO?

    The title tag and the canonical link matter most. The meta description doesn't affect rankings but shapes your snippet, and the robots tag matters when you need to keep a page out of search. Open Graph tags don't affect rankings; they control how shared links look.

    Does Google use the meta keywords tag?

    No. Google has ignored it for years, so this tool doesn't create one.

    What does max-image-preview:large do?

    It lets Google show a large image with your result in Search and Discover. Without it, Google may show only a small thumbnail. It's switched on by default here.

    Do I need both Open Graph and X card tags?

    Add the Open Graph tags and one twitter:card tag. X falls back to your Open Graph title, description and image, so the extra X tags are only needed to name your accounts.

    Where do these tags go?

    Inside the head of every page. In WordPress and similar systems, use your SEO plugin's fields instead. In a framework such as Next.js, use its built-in metadata feature.
