The 1200x628 pixel dimension is the industry standard for Open Graph (OG) images used in social media link previews. When someone shares a URL on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, or messaging apps, this is the image size that appears in the link preview card.
Getting your OG image right is important for click-through rates. A well-designed 1200x628 preview image can significantly increase engagement when your content is shared across social platforms. Platforms that use this size include Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter cards, Slack, Discord, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
To create an OG image with ImgTools, upload your source image, crop to the approximately 1.91:1 aspect ratio, and resize to 1200x628. For website OG images, include your brand logo, a clear headline, and an eye-catching visual that represents the page content.
Save as JPEG at 85% quality for most use cases, or PNG for images with text where sharp edges matter. Keep the file under 300 KB for fast loading in social feed previews.
ImgTools processes everything locally in your browser. Create and test your OG images privately before deploying them to your website.
