## What it does

Turn an article headline, product update or landing-page promise into a clear social preview image.

Use a consistent visual system across articles and pages so your content remains recognisable wherever it is shared.

The editor supports PNG, JPG and WebP exports in common social, presentation and web dimensions. The Text to PNG page also supports transparent PNG output.

## Capabilities

- **Social-preview dimensions:** Start at 1200×627, a widely used landscape ratio for shared links.
- **Headline-safe layouts:** Automatic text fitting handles both short product names and longer article titles.
- **Consistent branding:** Add colours, attribution and a logo, then save the design for future articles.

## Design a link preview that still works at thumbnail size

Social platforms may display an Open Graph image when a page is shared. Use a concise title, strong contrast and branding that remains recognisable after the preview is reduced.

1. **Write a shortened page title:** Use the main promise or topic rather than copying a long browser title. Put the site name, content type or reading time in the attribution field.
2. **Design at 1200×627:** Select the wide LinkedIn format, keep important content away from the outer edges and use a layout with a clear focal point.
3. **Publish and test the URL:** Download the image, upload it to a public HTTPS URL and reference it in the page’s og:image metadata. Test the shared page after deployment.

### What should an OG image contain?

- **Article or guide:** Use a readable shortened headline plus the publication name or content category. Avoid reproducing the entire title and description.
- **Product page:** Lead with the product or feature name and a clear benefit. Keep the logo secondary to the message.
- **Homepage or evergreen page:** Use a durable value proposition instead of campaign language that will quickly become outdated.
