About this tool

Twitter Cards are a powerful feature that transforms ordinary links into rich, engaging content previews on Twitter. When you share a link with Twitter Card meta tags, your tweets display eye-catching images, formatted titles, and descriptions that significantly increase engagement and click-through rates. Research shows that tweets with Twitter Cards receive 2-3 times more engagement than those without, making them essential for anyone serious about Twitter marketing.

There are several types of Twitter Cards to choose from: Summary Card displays a thumbnail image with text, Summary Card with Large Image shows a prominent large image above text, App Card promotes mobile app installations, and Player Card embeds video or audio content. Each card type serves different content needs and goals. The Summary Large Image card is the most popular choice for articles and blog posts, as it provides maximum visual impact with a 2:1 aspect ratio image that dominates the tweet preview.

Our Twitter Card Generator creates properly formatted meta tags that comply with Twitter's specifications and best practices. The tool automatically generates all required tags including twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image, and twitter:site. All content is properly escaped and validated to ensure your cards display correctly. Whether you're a social media marketer, blogger, or business owner, this tool helps you create professional Twitter Cards in seconds, maximizing your Twitter engagement and driving more traffic to your website.

FAQs

What is a Twitter Card?

A Twitter Card is a rich media preview that appears when you share a link on Twitter. It displays images, titles, and descriptions in a formatted card layout, making links more engaging and clickable.

What's the difference between Summary and Summary Large Image cards?

Summary cards show a small square thumbnail (144x144px minimum) on the left with text on the right. Summary Large Image cards display a large 2:1 ratio image (minimum 300x157px, recommended 800x418px) above the text, providing more visual impact.

What image size should I use for Twitter Cards?

For Summary cards, use at least 144x144px (square). For Summary Large Image cards, use at least 300x157px, but 800x418px (2:1 ratio) is recommended. Maximum file size is 5MB.

Do I need both Open Graph and Twitter Card tags?

Twitter Cards will fall back to Open Graph tags if Twitter-specific tags aren't present, but for best results, include both. Twitter Card tags give you more control over how content appears specifically on Twitter.

How do I validate my Twitter Cards?

Use Twitter's Card Validator tool (cards-dev.twitter.com/validator) to test your cards. Enter your URL and the validator will show exactly how your card will appear and identify any issues.

Do I need to apply for Twitter Card approval?

No, Twitter removed the approval requirement in 2015. Simply add the meta tags to your page and they'll work automatically once Twitter crawls your page.
