| Background Type | When to Use | |----------------|-------------| | Solid brand color | Consistent series, corporate | | Gradient | Modern, eye-catching | | Photo with overlay | Blog posts, editorial | | Dark background | Better contrast, stands out in feeds |
Dark backgrounds outperform light in social feeds — most feeds have white/light backgrounds, so dark OG images pop.

| Card Type | Image Size | Use When |
|-----------|-----------|----------|
| summary | 800 x 418 (small thumbnail) | Short updates, links |
| summary_large_image | 1200 x 628 (full width) | Blog posts, articles, announcements |
Always use summary_large_image unless you have a specific reason not to — the large image gets significantly more clicks.
For a blog or site with many pages, create a template system:
| Element | Keep Consistent | Vary | |---------|----------------|------| | Background style | Same gradient or brand colors | — | | Font family | Same font | — | | Layout | Same positioning | — | | Logo/branding | Same placement (corner) | — | | Category badge | Same style | Color per category | | Title text | Same size/weight | Content changes |

| Mistake | Problem | Fix | |---------|---------|-----| | No OG image at all | Platform shows random page element or nothing | Always set og:image | | Text too small | Unreadable on mobile previews | Title minimum 48px at 1200px width | | Light background | Gets lost in white/light feeds | Use dark or saturated backgrounds | | Too much text | Cluttered, overwhelming | Max: title + subtitle + brand | | Image too large (>5MB) | Some platforms won't load it | Optimize to under 1MB ideally | | No safe zone padding | Text cropped on some platforms | 40px padding from all edges | | Different image per platform | Inconsistent sharing experience | Use 1200x630 for everything | | HTTP image URL | Many platforms require HTTPS | Always serve OG images over HTTPS | | Relative image path | Won't resolve when shared | Use full absolute URL |
