Understanding Open Graph Images
What are Open Graph Images?
Open Graph images are visual representations of web content when shared on social media platforms. Specified using the og:image meta tag, they play a crucial role in attracting attention and increasing engagement.
How They Work
When a link is shared, social media platforms read the Open Graph meta tags from the webpage, using this information to generate a rich preview including the title, description, and specified image.
Best Practices
- Use high-quality, relevant images
- Maintain a 1.91:1 aspect ratio
- Aim for at least 1200x630 pixels
- Keep important elements centered
- Include branding elements or text overlays
Platform-Specific Considerations
While Open Graph is widely supported, different platforms have specific requirements:
- Facebook: Fully supports Open Graph. Prefers images of 1200x630 pixels.
- Twitter: Uses its own "twitter:image" tag, but falls back to og:image. Recommends 2:1 ratio images.
- LinkedIn: Supports Open Graph but may crop images. Use 1.91:1 ratio for best results.
- Pinterest: Prefers taller images. Optimal size is 1000x1500 pixels.
