What is Twitter Card Validator?
Twitter Cards (now X Cards) are the rich preview panels that appear when a URL is shared in a tweet. Card types include: Summary (small image), Summary Large Image (prominent image above title), App (mobile app link), and Player (video/audio). Choosing the right type and meta tags determines whether links appear as plain URLs or as engagement-driving cards in the feed.
Required tags for a Summary Large Image card — the most effective for content marketing: `twitter:card` set to `summary_large_image`, `twitter:title`, `twitter:description`, and `twitter:image` (minimum 300×157px, recommended 1200×628px). The `twitter:site` tag with your @handle attributes the card to your account. This tool renders a visual preview so you verify appearance before sharing.

Twitter Card Validator FAQs
Quick answers about the workflow, privacy, and where this tool fits in a broader job.
Do I need twitter: tags if I already have og: tags?
Twitter falls back to og: tags when twitter: tags are missing, so og: tags often suffice. Explicit twitter: tags let you customize the card message independently of OG tags.
My Twitter Card stopped working. Why?
Twitter caches previews aggressively. Use the official Card Validator at cards-dev.twitter.com/validator to force a refresh. Also verify that the twitter:image URL returns 200 OK when fetched by a bot.
What image dimensions work best?
Summary Large Image: 1200×628px minimum, max 5MB. Summary: 144×144px minimum as a square. Center the important content since images are cropped to fit the card format.
