Why Automate OG Image Generation?
Every page you publish needs an OG image for social sharing—blog posts, product pages, landing pages, documentation. Creating these manually is tedious and often gets skipped.
With Templated, generate OG images dynamically based on page content. When someone shares your blog post on Twitter or LinkedIn, they see a beautiful, on-brand preview with the actual title and description—generated automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should OG images be?
The standard OG image size is 1200x630 pixels with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. This works well across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack. Templated supports any dimensions if you need different sizes.
Can I use signed URLs instead of the API?
Yes! Signed URLs let you generate OG images via URL parameters without making API calls. Perfect for static site generators and edge rendering. The image is generated and cached on first request.
How do I integrate with Next.js or Vercel?
Use our API in your getServerSideProps or API routes, or use signed URLs directly in your meta tags. We have examples for Next.js, Astro, Gatsby, and other frameworks in our docs.
Are OG images cached?
When using signed URLs, images are cached after the first generation. For API calls, you can store the rendered URL and reuse it. This keeps costs low and response times fast.
Can I include author photos or avatars?
Absolutely! Add an image layer for author avatars. Pass the avatar URL via the API and it's included in the generated OG image. Works great for blog posts and user profiles.
Is there a free tier for testing?
Yes! Sign up and get 50 free API credits to test OG image generation. No credit card required. This is enough to fully test your workflow before committing to a paid plan.
