LinkedIn Open Graph

LinkedIn relies on standard Open Graph meta tags to generate link preview cards when URLs are shared in posts and messages. Unlike Twitter, LinkedIn does not have its own proprietary set of meta tags. It reads og:title, og:description, and og:image directly, with some additional support for article-related tags.

This guide covers how LinkedIn’s crawler works, which tags it reads, image sizing requirements, cache behavior, and the most common issues that cause broken or stale previews.
