We're a group of developers, an build online tools for programmers. One issue we had was that our tool URL's were appearing in text instead of an image, while shared in chat apps like WhatsApp, Skype or Telegram.
This tool reads your meta tags and generates a preview. And also gives suggestions about which meta tags to improve for a better preview image.
@bentossell@r_oosterhof Twitter has so many different views for a website preview (wide, vertical, stretched etc) that we decided to simplify and skip Twitter for now.
But if you follow the feedback messages for each meta tag - and your preview looks good in all preview windows - it will probably will also look fine in Twitter.
Also take note that it sometimes takes a couple of days for Twitter to interpret (or refresh in case of an image update) your "og:image" meta tag.
@r_oosterhof I used to run promoted tweets for a telco here in the UK so all too familiar with the different sizes... but I think for this audience that Twitter may become a highly requested feature :) it has my vote haha.
It is just the place I share most I guess!
Great hunt! This is an important tool for anyone who wants to be sure his site is viewed correctly from different chat applications. Very nice. Good luck guys!
