Custom Social Media Previews
What is a social media preview card?
Social media previews (referred to on Twitter as Twitter cards), are the little previews of websites you see when you share a link.
These previews come from open graph meta tags that are embedded in the destination page.
Linkly allows you to override these previews with your own title, image and description.
Edit the social media previews that appear when your link gets shared.
