Social Card Creator

What it does

Writes the text and describes the design for your Open Graph cards, and gives you the meta tags for your HTML. The image file itself you create in your design tool.

Your content looks arbitrary when shared on social media

When someone shares a link to your website on LinkedIn, X or Facebook, a preview image appears — the so-called Open Graph image. It is the first thing people see, and it helps decide whether they click or scroll past. The problem is that most websites either lack OG images entirely, or use generic images with no text explaining what the page is about.

• Missing OG images make shared links look incomplete on social media
• Generic images don't stand out in a feed full of visual content
• Wrong image sizes cause images to be cropped awkwardly on different platforms
• Designing OG images for each article from scratch is slow without a fixed template

Ready card text, layout description and meta tags — one template you can reuse

Social Card Creator writes the text that goes on the card — title, subtitle and any label — sized to what each platform can carry. You get a layout description with logo placement, text size, contrast and safe zones, the right dimensions per platform, and ready meta tags. The image file itself you create in Canva, Figma or another design tool from the specification.

• Card text: title variants short enough to stay readable at thumbnail size
• Layout description: placement of logo, text and background, with safe zones per platform
• Platform specification: correct dimensions for LinkedIn, X and Facebook
• Meta tags: ready og:image, og:title and twitter:card to paste into your HTML

Features

• Template descriptions for different content types — blog posts, product pages, events
• Brand profile: you provide logo, colors and fonts, and the specification builds on them
• Several cards in one run: paste a list of pages and get text and a spec for each
• Checklist: what has to be right before publishing — dimensions, contrast and text length

How it works

1. Describe your brand — logo, colors and fonts — and which pages the cards are for
2. Get card text, a layout description and the right dimensions per platform
3. Create the image in your design tool from the specification, and paste the meta tags into your HTML

Use cases

• Content marketers wanting a fixed template for how shared links appear
• Online stores needing a consistent card template for product pages
• News sites and blogs publishing often that need card text quickly

Why use Social Card Creator?

The first impression of your content on social media is the OG card. Yet most websites have no fixed template for how the cards should look and what should be on them. Social Card Creator handles the part of the job that is hardest to do consistently: writing short, readable text and deciding how it should be placed.

The value lies in reuse. Once you have a template description with logo placement, color use, text length and safe zones, you can produce new cards in your design tool in minutes rather than starting from a blank canvas each time. The result is cards that look like they belong together — and that people recognize in the feed.

For Nordic businesses sharing a lot on LinkedIn, the card text matters especially. The feed is visual, the title often appears in small type, and a card with text that is too long or too generic disappears. The tool keeps the text short enough to stay readable at thumbnail size, and states the LinkedIn dimensions alongside the other platforms.

FAQ

What are Open Graph images and why do they matter?

Open Graph images (OG images) are the preview images shown when a link is shared on social media. They are defined with meta tags in the HTML (og:image). They matter because they are the first thing people see when your content is shared — a card that clearly states what the page is about makes it easier to judge whether the link is worth a click.

What sizes should OG images be?

Each platform has its recommended sizes: LinkedIn recommends 1200x627px, X recommends 1200x675px (summary_large_image) or 120x120px (summary), and Facebook recommends 1200x630px. The tool states the right size per platform and where text and logo should sit to avoid cropping.

Does the tool create the image file itself?

No. The tool produces text and specification — card text, layout description, dimensions and meta tags. You create the image in Canva, Figma or a template-based tool from the specification. That also leaves you with the template for next time.

Can I use it for existing content?

Yes. Paste a list of the pages you want cards for — titles and ideally a line about what each page covers — and you get card text and a specification for each. The tool does not scan your website; you provide the pages yourself.

Can I get help with dynamic OG image generation?

Yes, as guidance. The tool sets nothing up for you, but it can describe how a dynamic OG service should be built — which parameters the template should accept, how long titles are handled, and how the tags are set per page.
