About the Article Schema Generator
This free article schema generator creates valid Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle JSON-LD structured data from a simple form. Enter your headline, description, author, publisher, dates, image and URL, and the tool writes a complete <script type="application/ld+json"> snippet you can paste straight into your page's HTML.
Article structured data helps Google understand your content and makes it eligible for enhanced presentation in search results — larger headlines, image thumbnails and inclusion in Top Stories for news content. It also feeds accurate bylines and dates into Google's article carousels and Discover feed.
Only the fields you fill in are included, so the output is always clean and valid. Generate the snippet, validate it with Google's Rich Results Test (linked below the output), and ship it. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Article schema and why do I need it?
Article schema is structured data (JSON-LD) that explicitly tells search engines your page is an article, along with its headline, author, publish date and image. Google uses it to display richer results — headline text, thumbnails, dates and bylines — and it is effectively required for full Top Stories and Discover treatment.
Should I use Article, BlogPosting or NewsArticle?
Use NewsArticle for time-sensitive news reporting, BlogPosting for blog content, and Article as the safe generic choice when neither fits neatly. All three are treated similarly by Google for rich results, and BlogPosting and NewsArticle are subtypes of Article, so picking the most specific accurate type is best practice.
Where do I paste the JSON-LD snippet?
Anywhere in your page's HTML — inside <head> is conventional, but Google also reads it from <body>. On WordPress, paste it via a custom HTML block or your SEO plugin's custom schema field. On Next.js or other frameworks, render the script tag in the page component. One snippet per article page.
Does Article schema guarantee rich results in Google?
No — structured data makes your page eligible, but Google decides per query whether to show enhancements. Correct, complete markup that matches the visible content maximises your chances. Invalid or misleading markup can result in the schema being ignored or a manual action.
What image size does Google recommend for article schema?
Google recommends high-resolution images at least 1200 px wide, ideally provided in 16x9, 4x3 and 1x1 aspect ratios, and the image must be crawlable. A single wide 1200 px image is a solid baseline — this generator puts your URL into the image array so you can add more variants later.
