FAQ

What is the recommended OG size?
1200×630 pixels is the common recommendation. Platforms may still crop differently, so leave a safe area. What if the text looks too small?
Shorten the heading or increase the font size; mobile previews provide less space. Where do I place the generated image?
Set an absolute URL in the og:image meta tag inside your site's <head>; if you use a CDN, clear the cache as needed. Use OG image builder →
