# Meta Tag Generator
> Generate HTML meta tags for SEO including Open Graph, Twitter Card, and standard meta tags with live preview.
## What does this tool do?
The Meta Tag Generator creates properly formatted HTML meta tags from structured input fields. It supports:
- **Basic SEO**: page title, meta description, keywords, canonical URL
- **Open Graph**: og:type, og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url
- **Twitter Card**: twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image
- **Advanced**: viewport, charset, robots (index/noindex, follow/nofollow)
Tags update in real-time as you type, with character count indicators for title (50–60 recommended) and description (150–160 recommended).

Output:
```html
