Hello, this is actually my first post ever here! So, I put together a webapp that helps you generate open graph image dynamically. I forked it from vercel (github.com/vercel/og-image) and add more functionalities (more templates, custom background image, etc.). I think it can be useful for those who want to quickly create banner or poster for their events, projects, website. etc.

What do you think?


btw, I added new template called "Article". Check it out: https://og-image.wzulfikar.com/Introducing%20WebSockets%20Su...


Author Image is missing.

Btw I am using https://bruzu.com for og images on few of my websites.


Oh cool, didn't know about bruzu before. Seems interesting! What do you mean by Author Image is missing?

I tried using author image and it looks ok here: https://og-image.wzulfikar.com/**Hello**%20World!.png?theme=...

For images, you can use a url that starts with http/https or use a short syntax like svg/twitter (will fetch twitter logo from svgporn), unavatar/acme (will fetch "acme" profile from unavatar.vercel.app), etc.


Looking good, wzulfikar. Any plans to update your fork with a new README, and updated index?


Yess, I'm planning to update the README and put some examples in there. What do you mean by "updated index"?


By "updated index" I mean the app's index page (only page) :)


Ah I see. got ya!
