How to Use This OG Image Generator
Open Graph images are the visual previews that appear when someone shares your URL on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, and other platforms. Without a custom OG image, these platforms either show nothing or auto-generate an unappealing thumbnail from your page content. A well-designed OG image can increase click-through rates by up to 2-3x, making it one of the highest-impact improvements you can make to your content's social presence.
Step 1: Enter Your Content
Start by typing your title text, subtitle, and a logo character (an emoji or single letter works great). The title should be short and impactful — aim for 3 to 8 words that clearly communicate your content's value. The subtitle provides additional context and can be a tagline, date, or brief description. The icon appears as a visual anchor in most template styles.
Step 2: Choose a Template Style
Select from four professional template styles. Gradient creates a smooth color transition background that looks modern and eye-catching. Split uses a two-tone layout with an accent bar that adds visual structure. Minimal places your text on a clean solid background for a sophisticated look. Bold uses oversized text with strong visual impact that stands out in busy social feeds.
Step 3: Customize Colors
Use the color pickers to set your background, accent, and text colors. Match your brand colors for consistent visual identity across all shared links. The live preview updates instantly so you can see exactly how your OG image will look before downloading. High contrast between text and background is important for readability at small sizes in social feeds.
Step 4: Download or Copy Code
Click Download PNG to save a 1200x630 pixel image file ready for use as your Open Graph image. Upload this file to your server and reference it in your <meta property="og:image"> tag. Alternatively, click Copy HTML to get the HTML/CSS code that recreates the design, which you can use as a starting point for more complex OG image templates or server-side generation.
