with Twitter Cards

Twitter Cards help you richly represent your content within Tweets across the web and on mobile devices. This gives users greater context and insight into the URLs shared on Twitter, which in turn allows Twitter to send more engaged traffic to your site or app.

Introduction

Twitter cards make it possible for you to attach media experiences to Tweets that link to your content. Simply add a few lines of HTML to your webpages, and users who Tweet links to your content will have a "card" added to the Tweet that’s visible to all of their followers.

As a developer, Twitter cards can...

  • Give you control of how your content is displayed with Tweets
  • Drive traffic to your site
  • Increase the number of people following your Twitter accounts through content attribution

Three simple steps

  1. Choose a card type! Try them out or read more about them.
  2. Found one? Then add the required meta tags to your page.
  3. To apply for the card you want, validate your meta tags.
