OG Image Examples and Best Practices for Better Link Previews

Why OG Images Matter

When you share a link, most social platforms automatically fetch the title, description, and image from your page's Open Graph tags. A clear, well-designed OG image:

• Makes your content stand out in crowded feeds.
• Communicates what the link is about in a second.
• Increases click-through rate compared to plain text links.
• Helps build a recognizable visual identity over time.

With LogoFast.app, you can generate OG images at the recommended 1200x630 resolution, optimized for these platforms.

Common OG Image Layouts

The OG image templates in LogoFast.app cover several common layouts that work well in practice:

• Title-focused – large, bold text in the center or left, ideal for blog posts and articles.
• Hero image with overlay – a background image with a text overlay for product announcements and releases.
• Logo plus tagline – your logo on one side and a short phrase on the other, perfect for product pages.
• Notice or banner style – high-contrast panels for changelogs, maintenance notices, or limited-time campaigns.

You can switch between templates live on the OG Image Generator page to see which layout best matches your content.

Example: Blog Post Preview

For a typical blog post, you want the title to be readable even on smaller screens. In LogoFast.app:

1. Select a simple title-focused template.
2. Use your blog's primary brand color as the background or accent.
3. Paste the full post title or a short version of it.
4. Optionally include your logo in a corner or at the bottom.

Make sure the text size is large and check that there is sufficient contrast. If you cannot read the title at a smaller preview size, increase font size or simplify the wording.

Example: Product or SaaS Page

For a product or SaaS landing page, the OG image should quickly tell people what the product is and who it is for. A good pattern is:

1. Use a layout with space for both logo and short text.
2. Place your logo on the left or top area.
3. Add a short value statement such as “Faster screenshots for teams”.
4. Keep the background clean or lightly textured.

Small adjustments in spacing, alignment, and color can make a big difference. In LogoFast.app, you can tweak these details in the form controls and immediately see the result in the live preview.

Example: Announcement or Changelog

When announcing a new feature, version, or event, you can use banner-style templates:

1. Choose a high-contrast background color to grab attention.
2. Add a short label like “New Release” or “v2.0”.
3. Include one line that describes what changed or why it matters.
4. Place your logo subtly in a corner to keep the focus on the news.

These OG images work especially well when sharing updates on social media or in communities where many links appear together.

General Best Practices

Regardless of the specific template you choose, a few general guidelines help keep your OG images clear and effective:

• Prioritize one main message per image — do not overcrowd it.
• Use large, high-contrast text that remains readable on mobile.
• Align important elements away from the very edges of the image.
• Stay consistent with your logo, brand colors, and typography.

Because LogoFast.app renders at a fixed 1200x630 resolution, you do not have to worry about the technical sizing details — you can focus entirely on composition and content.
