FAQ

What is the OG (Open Graph) image size?

A common recommended OG image size is 1200×630 (~1.91:1). Quick tip: Use it as a default for link previews across many platforms. Common mistake: Using a square design for OG—previews often crop unexpectedly.

Crop or Pad for OG images?

Pad is usually safer because platforms crop previews differently; keep key content centered. Quick tip: Treat edges as unsafe and leave generous margins. Common mistake: Putting the headline near the edges—some apps crop it away.

Why does the preview crop my image?

Different apps use different preview containers and may crop to fit. Quick tip: Keep title/logo near the center and avoid edge-only text. Common mistake: Designing to a single platform preview—others will crop differently.

How do I keep text readable in previews?

Use large font sizes, short copy, and strong contrast. Quick tip: Test by shrinking the design to phone size—if unreadable, simplify. Common mistake: Using long sentences—previews are small and text becomes illegible.

Do you upload my images?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.

What size should I use?

Use 1200x630 (1.91:1).

Which export format should I use?

JPG for photos, PNG for text/logos or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).

Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?

Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.

How do I protect text and logos?

Keep important content centered and avoid placing critical text at the edges.

Can I batch resize?

Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply the same size to many images.
