OG Image Generator
This free OG image generator renders a crisp 1200×630 Open Graph card from a simple form. Type your title, pick a gradient, and export a PNG — no design tool, no signup, nothing uploaded.

How this OG image generator works
Everything happens on an HTML canvas inside your browser. The tool
draws your background gradient, eyebrow label, title, subtitle, logo,
and footer to a pixel-exact 1200×630 surface, then exports it with the
canvas toBlob method as a PNG.
Before any text is painted, the renderer awaits
document.fonts.ready. This is the single most common bug in
browser OG tools: drawing text before the web font loads makes the
export silently fall back to a system font. Waiting for the font means
the downloaded PNG matches the live preview exactly.
The default background is the Playcut signature gradient — violet to pink to cyan at 135 degrees — but you can switch to a clean white card, a near-black card, or another preset in one click. Long titles wrap and truncate automatically so the headline always fits the card.
Why OG images matter for click-through
An Open Graph image is the picture social platforms and chat apps show when someone shares your link. It is the largest, most eye-catching part of the preview card, and a blank or default image makes a link look untrustworthy and forgettable in a busy feed.
A clear, on-brand card with a readable headline lifts click-through on shared links. The same image appears on Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord, and the large summary card on X. One well-made 1200×630 PNG covers nearly every surface a link can land on.
For blog posts and landing pages, the title text on the card should repeat or sharpen your headline rather than restate your brand name. The reader has already seen the domain in the URL — the image earns the click by promising the value inside.
When to use a generator instead of a design tool
Reach for this generator when you need a correct, consistent card fast and do not want to open a heavy design app. It is ideal for blog posts, documentation pages, changelog entries, and quick landing pages where the layout is text-forward and the brand colors are fixed.
A full design tool still wins when a card needs custom illustration, product screenshots, or photographic backgrounds. For those, generate the artwork first, then composite. Playcut's AI image generator can render a branded background or hero still you drop behind the text in seconds.
A practical workflow: produce the visual base with an AI model, then use this canvas tool only when you want clean, sharp, vector-style text on a flat gradient. Mixing the two keeps text crisp while still giving you rich, generated imagery where it helps.
Cost reality: free here, generated imagery in the app
This OG image generator is completely free and has no usage limit because it does no server work — the math, the canvas draw, and the PNG export all run locally. There is nothing to meter, so there is nothing to charge for.
When you want AI-generated backgrounds, hero stills, brand-locked actors, or video instead of a flat card, that work runs on paid models inside the Playcut app. Plans start at Hobby $9/mo (500 credits), then Pro $29/mo (2,000 credits), Studio $79/mo (6,000 credits, 4 seats), and Agency $149/seat/mo (10,000 credits/seat). Pricing as of May 2026.
Credit packs that never expire are also available: 600 credits for $9, 2,500 for $35, and 5,000 for $65. The free tools at playcut.ai/tools stay free; the credits only apply when you generate with a model in the studio.
OG image generator FAQ
What is an OG image generator?
An OG image generator builds the 1200×630 preview picture that appears when your page is shared on social platforms. You fill in a title, subtitle, logo, and colors, and this tool draws the card on an HTML canvas in real time, then exports it as a PNG you reference from the og:image meta tag in your page head.
Is this OG image generator really free and private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser using the Canvas API. Your text, your logo, and the rendered PNG never leave your device — there is no upload, no account, and no watermark. You can use the output on any website, in any quantity, at no cost.
What size should an Open Graph image be?
The reliable cross-platform size is 1200×630 pixels (a 1.91:1 ratio), which Facebook, LinkedIn, and the summary_large_image Twitter card all accept. This generator defaults to 1200×630 and also offers LinkedIn, X, and YouTube-thumbnail presets so a single card scales to where you actually post.
Why does the text look blurry or use the wrong font in some generators?
Most browser OG tools draw text before the web font has loaded, so the canvas falls back to a system font and the export looks off. This tool waits for document.fonts.ready before any text is painted, so the Inter typeface is fully loaded and the exported PNG matches the on-screen preview exactly.
How do I add the generated image to my site?
Upload the downloaded PNG to your site or CDN, then add an absolute og:image URL plus og:image:width, og:image:height, and a twitter:card meta tag to your page head. The tool prints a ready-to-paste snippet under the preview with the correct dimensions already filled in.
Need the background, not just the text?
Render a branded hero background or social still with real AI models, then drop it behind your card. Explore the Playcut AI image generator or start creating in the Playcut studio.
