// why preview
Why WhatsApp link previews matter.
Control your message
Without proper Open Graph tags, WhatsApp generates a generic preview. Validate your tags to ensure the right image and message appear.
Professional appearance
When sharing links to your business, products, or content, a well-formatted preview signals professionalism and attention to detail.
// what's inside
Everything you need to preview your WhatsApp links.
Live link preview
See exactly how your URL will appear in a WhatsApp chat — image, title, description, and domain.
Meta tag validation
Automatically check for required Open Graph tags and get instant feedback on what's missing.
Image upload override
Manually upload a custom image to see how it would look in the preview, without waiting for meta tags to update.
Light / dark mode
Preview your link in both WhatsApp's light and dark display modes to ensure readability in both themes.
Manual override
Test different titles and descriptions without modifying your page. Perfect for A/B testing.
No data stored
All fetching and previewing happens in your browser. URLs and meta tags are never stored on any server.

Optimize your WhatsApp link previews.
Use og:image
WhatsApp prioritizes og:image. Use an image that's at least 200×200px with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio for best results.
Keep titles concise
WhatsApp shows about 60-70 characters of the title. Put your most important message in the first 60 characters.
Write clear descriptions
Descriptions under 150 characters perform best. Preview here to see exactly how much shows up in the card.
Use absolute image URLs
WhatsApp requires absolute URLs (starting with https://) for images. Relative paths or localhost URLs won't work.
// faq
Questions, answered plainly.
How does WhatsApp generate link previews?
WhatsApp uses Open Graph meta tags (og:title, og:description, og:image) from the page to generate previews. If no OG tags are found, it falls back to page title and a generic preview.
What meta tags does WhatsApp use?
WhatsApp primarily uses og:title, og:description, and og:image. The image should be at least 200×200px for best results, with 1.91:1 aspect ratio recommended.
Does this tool send my URL to WhatsApp?
No. This is a preview-only tool. It fetches the page metadata to display a preview, but never sends anything to WhatsApp or publishes on your behalf.
Can I test a localhost URL?
No. The tool requires publicly accessible URLs to fetch meta tags. Localhost or internal network URLs cannot be reached by the proxy service.
Is my URL stored anywhere?
No. All fetching and previewing happens in your browser. The URL and meta tags are never stored on any server.
