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.
