Open Graph image size: 1200×630

Size answer and destination decision

Use 1200×630 pixels for a 1.91:1 Open Graph social preview image.

1200 ÷ 630 = 1.9048 (about 1.91:1)

Design for cross-site social preview use with title and logo safe margins that survive varied card crops. After export, complete manual preview validation outside LinkedIn as well, because messaging apps, search surfaces, and other social networks may scale or frame the card differently.

Use this preset when

  • One webpage needs a recognizable share image across several preview consumers
  • Core branding remains legible after proportional reduction to a compact card

Reconsider the crop or format when

  • Important text touches outer margins that a consumer may trim or obscure
  • The source represents one platform-specific feed placement rather than shared page metadata

After export: manual destination check

After export, manually check the title and logo margins with each social preview consumer outside LinkedIn.

Use 1200×630 for a common Open Graph share card. Keep the main subject, title, and logo away from the outer edges because preview consumers can scale or crop the card differently.

Local processing, no upload. Open this preset in the resizer, use Pad to fit, then export as JPG or PNG.

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.
