As developers, we love to build. We love solving complex problems with elegant code. What we don't always love is the "other stuff" that comes with shipping a project—like SEO. And let's face it, manually writing a dozen meta tags for every single page is tedious, repetitive, and easy to get wrong.
I can't count the number of times I've launched a personal project, shared it on Twitter, and been greeted by a blank, ugly link preview. Why? Because I forgot to add the right Open Graph or Twitter Card tags. It’s a small detail, but it makes your project look unprofessional. This exact frustration is what led me to build a simple solution.
So, What is ToolsFo.site?
Before I show you the solution, let me briefly introduce the project it's a part of. ToolsFo.site is my personal collection of over 30 free, client-side tools built to solve these small but annoying developer problems. The core principle is privacy: your data is never uploaded to a server. Everything happens in your browser.
Why Meta Tags Still Matter in 2025
You might think meta tags are old-school SEO voodoo, but they are more important than ever. They are your project's digital business card.
Google Search: The title and description tags are your first (and often only) chance to convince someone to click on your link in a search result.
Social Media: When your link is shared on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags control the preview—the title, description, and image that appear. A good preview can be the difference between a user scrolling past or clicking through.
Manually writing all of this for every page is a pain:
<!-- It's a lot to remember, right? -->
<meta name="description" content="...">
<meta name="keywords" content="...">
<meta property="og:title" content="...">
<meta property="og:description" content="...">
<meta property="og:image" content="...">
<meta property="og:url" content="...">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
The Simple Solution: A No-Nonsense Generator
To solve this problem for myself and for others, I built a free Meta Tag Generator.
It’s a simple form that takes your page's details—title, description, URL, and an optional image link—and instantly generates all the necessary meta tags for you. It even creates a placeholder social media image from your title if you don't have one.
You just fill in the blanks, click copy, and paste the code into the <head> section of your HTML. That's it. No more broken link previews, and a solid SEO foundation for every page you ship.
This tool is part of my effort to build a toolkit that I genuinely find useful in my day-to-day work. It’s completely free, and I hope it can save you some time and frustration too.
