How to: Meta Tag Generator
- Fill in the page title, description, URL and share image.
- Watch the length counters and the Google-style preview.
- Copy the generated <head> tags or download them as an HTML file.
The tags in a page’s <head> decide how it looks in Google results and when it is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp or X. Getting them right takes a dozen lines of fiddly HTML. FreePDF’s meta tag generator writes them for you – title, description, canonical, robots, language, theme colour, Open Graph and Twitter Card – while counting characters and showing a live search-result preview, so you can tune the wording before publishing.
Common uses
- Write the head tags for a new landing page, blog post or product page.
- Fix pages that show the wrong title or no image when shared.
- Add a canonical URL to stop duplicate-content issues.
- Mark a staging or thank-you page as noindex.
- Teach clients or students what each meta tag does.
Tips for best results
- Put the main keyword near the start of the title, then your brand.
- Write the description as an advert: what the page offers and why to click.
- Use a 1200×630 px share image with text large enough to read on phones.
- Every page should have a unique title and description.
- After publishing, test the URL with the Open Graph preview tool on this site.
The tags that matter for search
The title tag is the strongest on-page signal and the blue headline in results. The meta description does not affect ranking directly, but a compelling one raises click-through. The canonical link tells search engines which URL is the main version when the same content is reachable at several addresses. The robots tag controls indexing – use noindex for pages that should never appear in results, such as internal search pages or order confirmations.
Open Graph and Twitter Cards
Open Graph tags (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, og:type, og:site_name) were introduced by Facebook and are now read by LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, iMessage and many others. X uses its own twitter:card tags but falls back to Open Graph. The generator outputs both sets, using summary_large_image when you supply an image, so your link appears as a big, clickable card rather than a bare URL.
Where to paste the tags
Paste the output inside the <head> element of your HTML, replacing any existing title and description so there are no duplicates. In WordPress, Shopify, Wix or Squarespace, most of these fields live in the page’s SEO settings, so use the generator to draft the text and then copy each value into the matching field. Static site generators usually accept them in a layout template or front-matter.

Frequently asked questions
How long should a title and description be?
Aim for about 50–60 characters for titles and 120–160 for descriptions. Google truncates by pixel width, so the preview shows roughly where text is cut.
Do meta keywords still matter?
No. Google has ignored the keywords meta tag for over a decade, so the generator leaves it out.
Does the generator check my live page?
No – it creates tags from what you enter. To inspect an existing page, paste its HTML into the Open Graph preview tool.
What image size is best for sharing?
1200×630 pixels (1.91:1), under about 5 MB, in JPG or PNG.
Should I include the brand name in the title?
Usually yes, at the end: “Handmade Ceramic Mugs | Clay & Co.”
