What Is an OG Image and Why Does It Matter?

An Open Graph (OG) image is the preview image displayed when a URL is shared on social media platforms, messaging apps (Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage), and search engines. It is defined by the og:image meta tag in your page's HTML head.

Without a custom OG image, platforms display a random screenshot of your page — often the header or a misaligned section. A well-designed OG image increases click-through rate on shared links by 3–5× compared to pages with no OG image. Every blog post, product page, and landing page should have one.

How to Add an OG Image to Your Website

  1. Create and download your OG image using this tool.
  2. Upload it to your server or CDN (e.g., /public/og-image.jpg).
  3. Add meta tags to your page's <head>:
<meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.jpg" />

Optimize Your OG Image

Keep your OG image under 300KB for fast loading. Large OG images slow down link preview rendering on Slack and iMessage. Use CompressImg.pro to compress your JPG to under 200KB without visible quality loss.
