Add an Open Graph image

1. Create a 1200x630px image for social sharing.
2. Add <meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og-image.png"> to <head>.
3. Host the image on your own domain, not an external CDN.

Why this matters

Social and chat previews are often the first impression. A well-designed OG image lifts link CTR by 30-80% on social. No image = no preview card = scrolled past.

Dynamic OG images (Next.js ImageResponse, Vercel OG) can generate per-page cards automatically from page data — high impact, low maintenance.

How to use this prompt in Cursor

2. Copy the prompt above with the copy button.

4. Review the diff, accept the changes, redeploy.
5. Verify the fix using the checklist below.

Common mistakes to avoid

error_outlineUsing a square logo as og:image — LinkedIn and Slack crop it.
error_outlineServing the image from a fragile URL (e.g., behind auth).
error_outlineForgetting the absolute URL — relative URLs break many scrapers.
error_outlineText in OG image too small to read at preview size.

Frequently asked questions

Dynamic or static OG images?expand_more

Static is simple and fast. Dynamic (generated per page) is better for blogs/products. Next.js ImageResponse is the standard.

JPEG or PNG?expand_more

PNG for crisp text, JPEG for photos. Keep under 1MB or some scrapers skip it.
