## Overview (en)

The meta tag generator produces a ready-to-paste block of HTML head tags from a page title, description, canonical URL and optional social image URL.

Text is HTML-escaped, and URLs must be absolute HTTP or HTTPS.

## Questions (en)

### Which twitter:card value does the meta tag generator use?

It writes summary_large_image when you provide a social image URL and summary when the image field is empty. No separate twitter:title or twitter:description tags are written; only the Open Graph versions are included.

### Should I choose website or article for og:type?

Use article for individual posts or news stories and website for home pages, tool pages and general landing pages. The choice only changes the og:type value; every other generated tag stays the same.

### Can I use relative URLs for the canonical or image tag?

No. Both must be absolute http:// or https:// addresses without a username or password, otherwise the generator reports an error. Write the full address, such as https://example.com/social.jpg.
