How to use the Open Graph Image Generator

  1. Choose a template from the row of live thumbnails.
  2. Type your text: the title (page or post name), an optional subtitle, your site or domain and a small tag such as Blog or Guide.
  3. Style it: pick a font, accent color and background (gradient preset, solid color or your own photo) and add your logo.
  4. Check the previews below the image to see how the link card will look in social feeds and chat apps, including the square crop.
  5. Download the PNG (or JPG), upload it to your site and paste the copied meta tags into the page's <head>.

Open Graph image sizes by platform

One 1200 × 630 px image works almost everywhere. Platforms scale it down and some crop it, so keep text inside the central area and leave margins of about 60-80 px.

Where the link is sharedHow the image is shownTip
FacebookFull-width 1.91:1 image above the title and domain1200 × 630 recommended; at least 600 × 315 for the large layout
X (Twitter)Large card with rounded corners when twitter:card is summary_large_imageThe title may be overlaid on the image, so avoid key text in the bottom-left corner
LinkedIn1.91:1 image with the title underneathUses og:image; re-check with the Post Inspector after changes
Slack, Discord, TeamsSmaller unfurl with the image under the descriptionText must stay readable when the image is only ~300-400 px wide
WhatsApp, iMessage, TelegramOften a small or square thumbnailPut the logo or key word near the center so it survives a square crop

The meta tags you need

Social networks read the Open Graph protocol tags in your page's <head>. The essentials are og:title, og:description, og:image and, for X, twitter:card. Always use an absolute https URL for the image, and add og:image:width and og:image:height so the preview can appear on the very first share before the image is downloaded.

<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og/my-post.png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

Design tips for share images that get clicked

  • Short, big titles. In a feed the image is often 500 px wide or less. Six to ten words at a large size beat a full sentence in small type.
  • High contrast. Light text on a dark gradient (or the reverse) stays readable on phones and in dark mode apps.
  • Consistent branding. Use the same template, accent color and logo for every post so readers recognize your links.
  • Don't repeat everything. The platform already shows the page title under the image, so the image can carry the headline plus your brand, not the whole description.
  • Cache busting. When you update an image, change its file name (for example post-v2.png) so networks fetch the new version.

Frequently asked questions

What size should an Open Graph image be?

Use 1200 × 630 pixels, an aspect ratio of 1.91:1. It is the size Facebook and LinkedIn recommend for link previews, and X (Twitter) displays it well as a summary_large_image card. Images smaller than 600 × 315 may be shown as a small thumbnail instead of a large card.

Which file format is best for og:image?

PNG keeps text and logos perfectly sharp and is ideal for graphic designs like these. JPG is smaller and better when the background is a photo. Keep the file well under 5 MB; a typical design from this tool is 50-400 KB.

How do I add the image to my website?

Upload the downloaded file to your site, then add meta tags such as <meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og-image.png"> plus og:image:width, og:image:height and twitter:card = summary_large_image inside the page head. The tool generates these tags for you; replace the image URL with the real address of the uploaded file. Use an absolute https URL.

Why does part of my image get cut off in some apps?

Most feeds show the full 1.91:1 image, but some chat apps and compact layouts crop it to a square or a smaller rectangle from the center. Keep important text and logos away from the edges; the Square crop preview shows what survives a center crop.

Why doesn't the new image appear when I share my link?

Social networks cache link previews. After changing og:image, use the platform's link debugger or post inspector to re-scrape the URL, or give the image a new file name so the URL changes.

Is anything uploaded to a server?

No. The image is drawn with the Canvas API in your browser. Your logo and background photos never leave your device.
