Open Graph images affect how your page looks when people share it on social platforms and messaging apps. A badly sized preview can crop the important part, feel cramped, or look unfinished.
Common Share Image Sizes
- Open Graph: 1200x630
- Large social card layouts: 1600x900
- Blog hero style assets: 1280x720
Why Safe Padding Matters
Even when the platform accepts the image, important text or subject matter can sit too close to the edges. Adding safe space often makes the preview feel more balanced and reduces awkward crops.
Fast Browser Workflow
Use our OG Image Resizer to upload one image, choose the target preset, add padding, and export a share-ready PNG.
