Just launched an og:image generator for makers

As a maker who's making quite a few sideprojects I found that creating og:images for dynamic content can be quite annoying. I didn't want to use the classic image template generators as these didn't offer me the flexibility I need. Realizing I do the same thing over and over again I decided to spin off a product from that!

Just launched Websnap, which right now is basically a service generating, caching and serving images of websites you define. https://www.websnap.app — will expand the product to offer more functionality in the future.

The way I use it is for each of my dynamic content (blogs, products) I create a custom /make route that is optimized for 1200x630 (og:image size) and then let Websnap take a picture of that route as it's being requested when shared on social media. No more creating og:images manually or using templates that don't quite fit my style.

Posting it here in case any other maker finds this useful!

    This is awseome, I was looking for a service a few days before.

    Two call to actions on hero section is confusing. Can you show get started after the visitors first try or separate them with some space?

      Hey, thanks! You're right, the LP could use some more clarification regarding what the product does, the two CTAs don't help probably.
