OG image inspiration

• Blog

  Editorial rule

  A clean horizontal rule separates site name from the headline — classic for long-form posts.

  1200×630 · Minimal rule + byline stack

  • Keep the title under ~70 characters so it stays readable at thumbnail size.
  • Prefer high-contrast text on a light or dark field; avoid busy photos behind type.
  • Leave ~40px padding from the safe crop edges of 1200×630.

• Blog

  Byline card

  Author and section cue sit under the title for magazine-style shares.

  1200×630 · Title + author footer

  • Use the subtitle field for author or series name.
  • Avoid putting faces near the right edge — platforms often crop social cards.

• Business

  Product feature

  Bold gradient field with a short product claim — works for SaaS launches.

  1200×630 · Gradient hero claim

  • Lead with benefit language, not feature jargon.
  • One accent color is enough; gradients should stay subtle for compression.

  Offer split

  Split layout leaves room for a short offer line and site name.

  1200×630 · Split offer panel

  • Put the price or offer in the subtitle — keep the title product-focused.
  • Test WhatsApp crop: critical text should sit in the center third.

• Developer

  Terminal dark

  Dark developer aesthetic with monospace cues for docs and repos.

  1200×630 · Dark console feel

  • Use package or repo names as the subtitle.
  • Avoid light-gray-on-dark that fails contrast after JPEG recompression.

  API endpoint

  Structured layout suited to changelogs and API announcements.

  1200×630 · Spec / API card

  • Keep endpoint paths short; truncate long URLs in the subtitle.

• Personal brand

  Quote mark

  Centered quote layout for personal essays and thought leadership.

  1200×630 · Centered quotation

  • Quotes over ~140 characters wrap poorly — trim aggressively.
  • Attribution belongs in the subtitle, not the title.

• Announcement

  Event center

  Centered announcement with date/place cues in the subtitle.

  1200×630 · Centered event frame

  • Put the date in ISO or local readable form in the subtitle.
  • Avoid tiny logos — they disappear in LinkedIn’s crop.

• Announcement

  Digest stack

  Newsletter-style stack for weekly digests and product updates.

  1200×630 · Newsletter digest

  • Use issue number or week label as site/eyebrow text.
  • One idea per card — don’t cram three headlines.

• Business

  Glass hero

  Soft panel treatment for homepage and brand landing shares.

  1200×630 · Soft brand hero

  • Brand name should be readable without the site favicon.
  • Export PNG for text-heavy cards; JPEG can muddy thin type.
