Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Twitter Cards and Open Graph tags? Open Graph is a protocol developed by Meta used across many platforms. Twitter Cards use a separate set of twitter: meta properties specific to Twitter/X. They often share the same values, but Twitter will fall back to Open Graph if its own tags are absent.

Do I need a Twitter developer account to use Twitter Cards? No. Adding the meta tags to your page HTML is all that is required — Twitter/X reads them automatically when a link is tweeted. No API key or app registration is needed.

What image dimensions should I use? For summary_large_image, Twitter recommends at least 600 × 314 px at a 2:1 ratio (max 5 MB). For the standard summary card, a square image of at least 144 × 144 px works well.
