OG Image Generator: 1200×630 Cards in Seconds

Platforms don't show your image the same way. Facebook and LinkedIn use a wide 1.91:1 frame; Slack shows a small thumbnail; some messaging apps crop closer to square. A layout that only works at full size loses its headline everywhere else.

So the generator keeps text inside a central safe area and away from the edges, scales long titles down to three lines, and puts the brand at the bottom where a crop is least likely to cut it.

One idea, readable at thumbnail size:

1. A short headline — six to ten words. Long titles become unreadable at phone size.
2. High contrast — dark text on light, or light on dark; avoid busy photos behind text.
3. Your brand, small — a name or logo, not a full-width banner.
4. Different per page — a generic logo card for every URL wastes the space.

1200×630 PNG, which is what this tool produces. Meta recommends at least 1200×630 at a 1.91:1 ratio, and LinkedIn's minimum is 1200×627. PNG keeps text crisp; switch to JPEG only for photo-heavy images that come out large.

That's also what the web has settled on: when we measured the og:image of 270 big-brand homepages in October 2026 (dataset), the median width was 1200 pixels and PNG was the most common format, 166 of 270.

Upload the PNG and reference it in your page head, ideally with its dimensions:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og/page.png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630">

Then confirm it loads and crops well with the OG image checker, and generate the rest of your tags with the meta tag generator.
