Link Preview Generator

A simple tool to generate HTML embed code for URL previews. Ideal for platforms like Squarespace that don’t reliably auto-generate URL previews.

Features

• Displays a preview similar to social media previews with title, description, and image.
• Offers both a standalone executable for easy use and the Python source code for customization.
