What is OG Image Size?

Definition

The recommended pixel dimensions for Open Graph preview images, typically 1200×630 (≈1.91:1), so social platforms display link previews without awkward cropping.

Standard recommendation: 1200×630 pixels (width × height), about a 1.91:1 aspect ratio.

Why size matters:

Platforms crop aggressively on mobile. The wrong ratio produces letterboxing, cut-off logos, or unreadable titles in the thumbnail.

Platform cheat sheet:

| Platform | Recommended size |
|---|---|
| Facebook / LinkedIn | 1200×630 |
| Twitter/X large card | 1200×628 |
| Slack / Discord / iMessage | 1200×630 |

Design tips:

  • Keep critical text inside a center safe zone
  • Export PNG or high-quality JPG under platform file-size caps
  • Always set og:image:width and og:image:height
