Twitter Cards

Optimize how your content appears when shared on Twitter/X with Twitter Card meta tags.

Twitter Cards overview

Twitter Cards are meta tags that make your tweets stand out with rich media — images, videos, or summaries. Without cards, a tweet is just a link with plain text.

Twitter Card markup

Use twitter: meta tags to define card type, title, description, and image. The "summary_large_image" card is most visually appealing.

<head>
  <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
  <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@yourusername">
  <meta name="twitter:title" content="10 CSS Tips Every Developer Should Know">
  <meta name="twitter:description" content="Master CSS Layout, Flexbox, Grid, and more with practical examples.">
  <meta name="twitter:image" content="https://example.com/css-tips-banner.jpg">
  <meta name="twitter:image:alt" content="CSS Tips Banner">
</head>

Validate Twitter cards

Use Twitter's Card Validator tool to test your markup before deploying. Fix any warnings or errors to ensure cards render correctly.
