About Pikkola Meta
Last updated 9 November 2026
A generator for the part of a page nobody sees until the link is shared.
What it does
Pikkola Meta takes four pieces of information — a title, a description, a canonical URL and an image — and produces two things: a picture of how the link will look when it is posted, and the tags that make those pictures appear.
The previews follow the real products: Google's search result, X's large-image and summary cards, Facebook and LinkedIn posts, Slack and Discord embeds, and the white link card in a KakaoTalk chat. Each applies its own crop, its own truncation and its own idea of what a title is. The previews keep those differences instead of smoothing them into one generic card, because the differences are exactly where a link breaks.
Why it exists
A launch page can be perfect and still be shared as a grey rectangle with the wrong title. By the time anyone notices, the post is out and the card is cached, often for a week. Checking the card is a thirty-second job, and this page makes it possible before the link goes anywhere.
How it is built
Static files: one HTML page, a stylesheet, two scripts. No framework, no build step, no server call, no tracker. The whole generator runs in the tab, which is why the text you type and the image you choose never leave it.
