What this Discord link checker does
Paste a public URL and you get a simulated Discord embed from the page’s Open Graph tags: title, description, and image. Use it when search terms like “Discord link preview checker,” “Discord embed checker,” or “Discord link checker” mean “will this URL show a card?”
It does not join your server, does not test invite splash images, and does not clear Discord’s cache. For channel permissions and client settings, see the Discord preview troubleshooting article.
What Discord needs on the website
- Tags in the first HTML response: og:title, og:description, og:image (absolute https URLs). Discordbot does not run your JavaScript.
- Fetchable image: 1200×630 is a safe size across apps. Proovd flags Discord images over 8 MB.
- No bot challenge: a 403 or Cloudflare interstitial hides the tags from Discordbot.
How to check your Discord preview
Use the button above to open Proovd, paste the URL, and switch to the Discord card. Compare it with Slack on the same page. Then paste in Discord only after the HTML is actually updated (view-source), and use a new query string if Discord still shows an old embed.
Quick Fix Checklist
- Confirm og:title, og:description, and og:image are in the raw HTML
- Use a large HTTPS image (1200×630 is a safe default)
- If the card is missing only in one Discord channel, check Embed Links — that is not this tool
- Test the URL here, then re-post in Discord with
?v=2if the old embed is cached
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check my Discord link preview?
Paste the URL into this Discord link preview checker (or the main Proovd app). You will see the Open Graph card a crawler can read. Discord’s live cache is separate.
Why does Discord not show link previews?
Website: missing OG tags or Discordbot blocked. Discord app: user preview setting off, channel denies Embed Links, or the URL is wrapped in < >. Full walkthrough: Discord link preview not working.
