OGImg Covers

OGImg Covers adds an “OGImg Covers — post cover” box to the post editor. The title, excerpt and site name are filled in from the post, you pick a style, accent color, badge and format — and the cover becomes the post’s og:image and twitter:image. Links shared in Telegram, VK, X, LinkedIn, Facebook and messengers get a proper preview card.

Features

• 32 styles — the same as in the online editor at og-studio.online; holiday styles (Halloween, Black Friday, New Year) appear on their dates.
• Photo styles: “Photo background” and “Product & price” use the post’s featured image.
• Live preview right in the post editor.
• Short image links like og-studio.online/img/Ab3xKp9f instead of long URLs.
• Covers for existing posts in one click: Tools → OGImg Covers.
• Default style for new posts: Settings → OGImg Covers.
• [ogimg_covers_cover] shortcode to place the cover inside the post.
• Works with Yoast SEO (wpseo_opengraph_image filter).
• Pro key (for og-studio.online Pro subscribers): covers without the og-studio.online watermark.

The plugin does not create database tables and stores no images on your hosting: settings are kept in post meta and one option.

External services

This plugin relies on the OG Studio service at og-studio.online (https://og-studio.online) to draw the cover images. Without it the plugin cannot produce images.

• Rendering — the cover image is requested from https://og-studio.online/api/og/render.png (in the editor preview) and, on the public site, by visitors’ browsers and social network crawlers via the image link in og:image. Sent: the cover title, subtitle, brand text, style, accent color, badge and format; for the “Photo background” and “Product & price” styles also the public https URL of the post’s featured image, which the service downloads to draw the cover.
• Short links — when a post with an enabled cover is saved (or during bulk generation for existing posts), the same cover parameters are sent to https://og-studio.online/api/og/shorten, which returns a short link https://og-studio.online/img/…. If a Pro key is set in the plugin settings, the key is sent too (server to server; it never appears on your pages).
• Key check — when the settings page is opened with a Pro key filled in, the key is sent to https://og-studio.online/api/og/key-check to show its status.

No other data about your site, visitors or users is sent.
