What is the recommended size for Open Graph images?

The industry standard dimensions are 1200 x 630 pixels (an aspect ratio of 1.91:1). At this resolution, preview cards render crisply on high-DPI retina screens across X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Slack, and Discord.

Why isn't my social image updating on X or LinkedIn?

Social platforms cache Open Graph tags aggressively. When you deploy a new image, use platform-specific validation debuggers (like the LinkedIn Post Inspector or Card Validator) to purge their edge cache.

What tags are strictly necessary for social cards?

You need og:title, og:description, og:image, and og:url for Open Graph networks, plus twitter:card (set to 'summary_large_image') and twitter:title for X.

Why First-Impression Social Cards Matter for Launches

When you share your launch link on X, LinkedIn, Slack communities, or Product Hunt, 90% of the screen area is taken up by the Open Graph card:

Clipped Titles Lose Clicks: If your core benefit gets cut off at 60 characters, readers never learn what makes your product unique.
Aspect Ratio Distortion: Images that aren't 1.91:1 (1200x630) get cropped awkwardly or displayed with black pillarbox borders on X and LinkedIn.
Consistent Entity Branding: Aligning your title and image across social cards and Google search builds immediate brand recognition during launch week.
