What are Twitter Cards?

Have you ever seen a tweet that has a photo, video, or some extra info attached to it? That’s a Twitter card. A Twitter Card is like a multimedia upgrade for your tweets. When you include a website URL in your tweet and have a "twitter:card" meta tag in the header of your site, Twitter automatically adds a Twitter Card to your tweet. This meta tag specifies the type of Twitter Card you want to display, giving your tweet a visual boost with multimedia content.

It’s a cool feature, right? Twitter cards will make your tweets look better and do more. For example, if you share a link to a website, article, product, or anything online, you can use a Twitter card to show a preview or summary of what you’re sharing. That way, people can see what it’s about and get interested in clicking on it.

Twitter cards can have different things on them, like a title, description, image, or even buttons or controls that let you do stuff. It depends on what kind of card you use and how you set it up. There are different types of cards for different kinds of content. Some of the common ones are summary cards, photo cards, gallery cards, video cards, and app cards. They all have their own look and feel.

There are mainly four types of Twitter Cards. Here is a list of them:

• Summary Card
• Large Photo Summary Card
• Player Card
• App Card
