How do I refresh a Telegram link preview?

Send the link to @WebpageBot. It fetches the page again and updates the cached preview.

Which tags does Telegram use?

Telegram uses Open Graph tags: og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:site_name.

Is a link preview the same as Instant View?

No. A link preview is the card under a message. Instant View is a separate reading mode that uses its own templates.

Will Google display this exact title and description?

Not necessarily. Search engines can rewrite snippets based on the query and page content. The preview helps you plan clear metadata but cannot guarantee the final search result.

Should the canonical URL be absolute?

Yes. Use the preferred public HTTPS URL for the page, including the correct hostname and path.

Does this tool download or validate my social image?

PostlyBee does not download or validate the image. Your browser loads it from its address so the preview can show it. Validate the deployed image dimensions, format, and availability separately.

Are special characters escaped in the copied HTML?

Yes. The generated title and meta values escape HTML-sensitive characters before they are copied.

Does PostlyBee crawl the URL I enter?

Only when you choose Fetch tags. PostlyBee then downloads that one public HTTPS page to read its title, description, and image tags, and does not store it. Private, local, and internal addresses are blocked. Text you type by hand never leaves your browser.

Practical guide

Give shared links a clean preview in chats

In Telegram a link preview sits right under the message, so the title and image decide whether the link gets tapped. A short title and a clear image keep it readable in narrow chat bubbles.

The same Open Graph tags used for other platforms are enough. Check the result here, then refresh Telegram's cache after publishing changes.

Privacy: Text you type stays in this browser tab. If you import a URL, PostlyBee downloads that public page once to read its tags and does not store it. Your browser loads the preview image directly from its address.

01
Write the title and site name
Keep the title short so it fits a chat bubble.
02
Add the image
Use a public 1200 × 630 px image URL.
03
Copy and refresh
Add the tags, then refresh the cached preview with @WebpageBot.

Pro tips

Pro tips for Telegram metadata

Open Graph builds the preview

Telegram reads og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:site_name to render the preview below a message.

Site name appears above the title

The site name is shown in bold above the title. Set og:site_name to your brand rather than leaving it to the domain.

Previews are cached

Telegram caches link previews. To see an update right away, send the link through the official @WebpageBot to refresh it.
