The Plugin adds an link preview box to your post. 
The link preview box will be displayed like in Facebook! 🙂
This plugin can be used for free for maximal 10 URL Preview Boxes.
Perhaps you are familiar with Facebook. 
When you write a post in Facebook and you paste an URL into your text, 
Facebook detects that URL and adds automatically information about that URL under your post.
This plugin does it not automatically, you have to use the extra button in the visual editor (“URL BOX”). 
Or you just write [urlpreviewbox url=”\https://….”] into your text. 
This plugin loads information about that URL from https://guteurls.de/ server.
<ol>
<li>Title of that page</li>
<li>Description of that page</li>
<li>An URL of an image</li>
</ol>
And the plugin displays it below your post.
Facebook supports only one preview box per post. 
This plugin supports many preview boxes within one post, if you want.
Do you want to see it live on production servers?

<h3>Internationalization (i18n)</h3>

<li>Grab a transalation editor. <a href="http://www.poedit.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">POedit</a> works for us</li>
<li>Translate each line</li>
</ol>

URL-Preview-Box

That was really needed, because the automatic URL detection failed sometimes at very different designed WordPress templates.
This is the WordPress plugin, what I exactly needed. 
I use it now and will use it in the next years for sure.

Now it is possible to add manually preview boxes

This plugin adds link preview box to your post. You just copied & pasted an URL into your posting. :-)

This plugin was originally written for authors, but may be useful for others that link to stores such as Amazon, Apple, and Kobo.
It will automatically edit links to various sites so that the user is directed to their local site. It will work on existing links and new ones. Simply add links to your site as usual, and they will be rewritten on the fly to send your visitors to their local site.
In addition, some tidying up of links is performed to remove extraneous junk. If you have affiliate codes, the relevant code will be added to that store’s links.
Changes are only made in the user’s browser. WordPress posts and pages are not changed, so if the plugin is deactivated or removed, they will return to their previous state.
Currently Supported Stores:
<ul>
<li>Amazon</li>
<li>Apple Books</li>
<li>Apple iTunes (audiobooks)</li>
<li>Kobo</li>
<li>Alibris</li>
<li>Google Play</li>
<li>AbeBooks</li>
<li>Barnes & Noble</li>
<li>Bookshop.org</li>
<li>OneBookShelf sites (DriveThruFiction, DriveThruCards, DriveThruComics, DriveThruRPG, Wargame Vault)</li>
<li>Smashwords</li>
</ul>
From version 4.1, Amazon Attribution links are supported. If a link has Amazon Attribution tags, they will be retained. For more information about Amazon Attribution, see: https://advertising.amazon.com/help?#GJXTJCLK4WTWTQWU

Local Links

Alter vendor links so that they go to the user's local store, and optionally add affiliate codes. Some functions require the GeoIP Detection plugin.
