Why Discord Link Previews Matter
When you share a link in a Discord server, the embed preview is the first thing community members see. A well-crafted preview with a clear title, description, and image drives engagement and clicks. A broken preview — just a plain URL — gets ignored.
Discord is relatively lenient about image requirements (minimum 300×300 pixels), but it needs valid OG tags to render an embed at all.
Discord Link Preview Requirements
- Minimum image size: 300 × 300 pixels
- Recommended size: 1200 × 630
- Required tags: og:title, og:description, og:image
- Server setting: Embeds must be enabled
