Generate Dynamic OG Images

Social media previews from styled HTML.

The pattern

Deploy a Next.js page that renders OG images from query params. Call our Screenshot API on that URL. Cache the resulting PNG. Reference it in your og:image meta tag.

Why not @vercel/og?

Vercel's solution is great but limited to Vercel's runtime. Our Screenshot API works from any backend, language, or serverless platform — and you get a full Chromium rendering, not a subset.
