Open Graph images appear when your page is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, iMessage, and most social platforms. A missing or wrong-sized og:image shows a broken preview that reduces click-through rates. This preset generates the three most important OG dimensions so you can test share previews before the real image is designed.
| Name | Dimensions | Description |
|---|---|---|
| og | 1200x630 | Standard OG image — 1200×630px, the required size for Facebook, LinkedIn, and most platform link previews |
| 1200x1200 | 1200x1200 | Square OG variant — 1:1 ratio, used by WhatsApp and platforms that crop to square |
| 800x418 | 800x418 | Compact OG variant — covers older renderers and email client link previews |
The og:image spec requires at minimum 1200×630px for landscape previews. Facebook and LinkedIn display this as the main link preview. A 1200×1200px square image works for platforms that crop to square (WhatsApp, some Slack views). The 800×418 variant covers older renderers and email clients. Generating all three ensures your share preview looks correct everywhere.
Drop a placeholder og:image into your meta tags and use the Facebook Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn Post Inspector to verify the layout before your designer finishes the real artwork.
Many CMS platforms auto-generate OG images. Use a placeholder at the correct dimensions to verify your template's text overlay and crop before enabling the feature.
Email clients that render link previews pull the og:image. Test at 800×418 to ensure the preview shows correctly in Apple Mail and Outlook.
