ezLinkPreview: Open-source Link Preview Generators

An open-source JavaScript library for easily generating link previews on your website, automatically scanning content behind links to create images, descriptions, and titles.

What is EzLinkPreview?

ezLinkPreview is an open-source JavaScript library that can automatically generate rich link previews for links on your website. When a user shares a link on your site, ezLinkPreview will fetch important metadata from the linked page like images, descriptions, and titles and display that information as a preview without the user having to leave your site.

Some key features of ezLinkPreview include:

• Fully customizable design and layout of link previews
• Extracts proper article titles, descriptions, and main images
• Caches link data for improved performance
• Lightweight library with no dependencies
• Free and open source (MIT license)

By adding link previews, you can create a more engaging experience for users sharing links on your platform. Previews allow the sharer and recipients to quickly see what's behind the link without having to click through or wait for pages to load. ezLinkPreview handles fetching and parsing this preview data in a fast and efficient way.

As an open source library, ezLinkPreview is customizable to match the look and feel of your website. Developers can style the previews with CSS and tweak the data points displayed. It also doesn't rely on external services and can run directly on your own servers. The library works well for both developers building custom sharing platforms, as well as bloggers and content sites wanting to enhance their user experience.
