Free OG Image Generator
Make the social share image, or OG image, that shows when your page is shared on Facebook, LinkedIn or in a message. Add a headline and a photo, and download it at 1200 × 630 px, the size those previews use. It’s free, with no watermark and no login, and your photo never leaves your device. It’s the same template I use for my own guides.

An example
This is the share image for my Santa guide. When someone posts the link on Facebook, this is the picture that shows above the page title.
How to make an OG image
- Write the headline. Use the page’s main promise in as few words as you can. It needs to read at the size of a phone screen.
- Add your name and web address so people know who it’s from before they click.
- Choose a photo. A face or one clear subject works better than a busy scene, because the photo only gets half the image.
- Download the image and add it to your page as the social or sharing image (see below).
What size should an OG image be?
The standard OG image size is 1200 × 630 px, a 1.91:1 ratio. Facebook, LinkedIn and most messaging apps show link previews at that shape. OG is short for Open Graph, the code that tells social sites which picture to use when someone shares your page. Keep the important words away from the very edges, as some apps crop a little, and keep the file under 5 MB.
How to add it to your page
Squarespace: open the page’s settings, go to Social Image and upload it.
WordPress: most SEO plugins, such as Yoast or Rank Math, have a social or Facebook image field on each page.
Already shared the link? Facebook keeps the old preview for a while. Paste the link into Facebook’s Sharing Debugger and choose Scrape Again to refresh it.
OG image FAQs
Is the OG image generator free?
Yes. There’s no login and no watermark, and you can make as many images as you like.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is put together in your browser, so your photo and logo stay on your device.
Can I use the images for my business?
Yes. The images you make are yours to use. Just make sure you have the right to use the photo and logo you upload.
Will it work for Instagram?
Not well. Instagram posts are square or portrait, so this wide image would be cropped. For Pinterest, use the Pinterest pin maker instead.
Can I put the generator on my own website?
Yes, and that’s free too. Copy the embed code below and paste it into an HTML or code block on your site. Please keep the small link under it, so people know where it came from.
Does it remember my settings?
Your words, colour and logo are remembered in this browser. Photos aren’t kept, so download each image before you close the page.
