About the Meta Tag Generator
Meta Tag Generator builds a complete, ready-to-paste block of HTML <meta> tags for a page's title, description, canonical URL, author, robots directive, Open Graph data and Twitter card, with live character counters that warn when title or description exceed common search-engine display limits.
How to use it
- 01Fill in the title, description and canonical URL fields.
- 02Choose robots directives, Open Graph type and Twitter card type from the dropdowns.
- 03Watch the character counters — a warning appears if title or description run long.
- 04Copy the generated block or download it as an .html snippet.
Features
- Live character counts against ~60 (title) and ~155 (description) recommendations
- Generates title, description, canonical, author and robots tags
- Generates matching Open Graph and Twitter Card tags from the same fields
- Output is shown as escaped text, never rendered, and can be copied or downloaded
Practical examples
Preparing a landing page head block
Fill in all fields including an OG image URL to produce a full block ready to paste directly into a page's <head>.
Checking title length before publishing
Type a long article title and watch the counter warn once it exceeds roughly 60 characters, the point search engines commonly truncate at.
Limitations
- Character limits are approximate guidelines, not hard rules enforced by any search engine or platform.
- Does not verify that image URLs are reachable or correctly sized for Open Graph previews.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the output shown as plain text instead of rendered tags?
For safety, generated markup is always displayed as escaped text rather than rendered, so it can never execute in your browser.
Does exceeding the character counter break anything?
No, it's only a warning — search engines may simply truncate longer titles or descriptions in results.
Can I generate tags for an article instead of a website?
Yes, choose 'article' from the OG type dropdown to change the og:type value accordingly.
