Fill in your page details, watch the live search preview, then copy or download the generated code. No signup, no watermark, no limits.
How to use this meta tag generator
- Enter your page title. Keep it under 60 characters so it does not get truncated in search results — the counter turns red when you go over.
- Write a meta description of roughly 150–160 characters that summarizes the page and gives searchers a reason to click.
- Add the page URL so the generator can produce a canonical link and correct Open Graph URL.
- Fill in the social fields — site name, content type, and a 1200×630 share image — so links look right on LinkedIn, Facebook, and X.
- Click Generate meta tags, then copy the code into the
<head>of your page, or download it as a file.
Why meta tags still matter for SEO and AI search
Title tags remain one of the clearest relevance signals in on-page SEO, and meta descriptions still drive click-through from search results even when Google rewrites them. They also matter beyond Google: AI search engines and answer engines read your titles and descriptions when deciding how to summarize and cite your page, which is why clear, literal metadata is a core part of generative engine optimization and AI-friendly content formatting. If you are auditing an existing site, our guide to common SEO mistakes covers the metadata errors we see most often.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a title tag be?
Aim for 50–60 characters. Google typically displays the first 600 pixels of a title, which works out to roughly 60 characters. Longer titles get truncated with an ellipsis, and important keywords pushed past the cutoff lose visibility. This generator’s counter warns you the moment you cross 60 characters.
Does Google always use my meta description?
No. Google rewrites descriptions for an estimated majority of queries, pulling text from the page that better matches the search. But a well-written description is still used often, sets the default for social shares and AI summaries, and costs nothing to get right — so it remains worth writing carefully.
What are Open Graph tags and do I need them?
Open Graph tags control how your page appears when shared on social platforms like LinkedIn and Facebook — the title, description, and preview image. Without them, platforms guess, often badly. If your content gets shared anywhere, Open Graph tags are worth the thirty seconds this tool takes to generate them.
Do meta keywords still matter?
No. Google confirmed in 2009 that the meta keywords tag is not a ranking factor, and no major search engine uses it today. That is why this generator does not include one. Spend the effort on your title, description, and structured data instead — those actually influence how you appear in search.

Yes — completely free, no account, no email capture, no usage limits. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is sent to a server. It is part of the free Plain Intelligence resource hub alongside our schema, robots.txt, and sitemap generators.
