Open Graph Image Generator
Let's create a new HTML and CSS template for an open graph image generator according to your specifications.
HTML:
html<div class="card">
<div class="avatar">
<img src="avatar.jpg" alt="Author's avatar">
</div>
<div class="content">
<h1 class="title">Blog Post Title</h1>
<p class="domain">www.skorfmann.com</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS (you can add this within <style>
tags in your HTML or in a separate .css file):
cssbody {
background: #f2f2f2;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
.card {
background: #fff;
width: 100%;
max-width: 600px;
padding: 20px;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
border-radius: 10px;
text-align: center;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.avatar {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border-radius: 50%;
overflow: hidden;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.avatar img {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.title {
font-size: 32px;
font-weight: 600;
margin: 20px 0;
}
.domain {
font-size: 18px;
color: #666;
}
Remember to replace the "avatar.jpg" and the "Blog Post Title" with your actual data. The "avatar.jpg" should be the actual path to the author's avatar image and "Blog Post Title" should be replaced by the actual blog post title. This is a very basic template and you can enhance it according to your needs. Also, you can add other metadata in the content
div if needed.
Sure, here's the HTML with the CSS inlined:
html<div style="background: #fff; width: 100%; max-width: 600px; padding: 20px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-radius: 10px; text-align: center; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center;">
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img src="avatar.jpg" alt="Author's avatar" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>
<div>
<h1 style="font-size: 32px; font-weight: 600; margin: 20px 0;">Blog Post Title</h1>
<p style="font-size: 18px; color: #666;">www.skorfmann.com</p>
</div>
</div>
This code will create a card with the author's avatar, blog post title, and domain. The CSS is inlined within each element using the style
attribute. Make sure to replace "avatar.jpg" with the actual path to the avatar, and "Blog Post Title" with the actual title of the blog post.
If you are referring to the generated Open Graph image's dimensions, it's important to note that these images typically need to adhere to a specific aspect ratio, rather than having fixed dimensions. The recommended aspect ratio for Open Graph images is 1.91:1, with a recommended size of 1200x630 pixels.
However, if you want to set a fixed size to the overall generated image, you can do so by defining the width and height properties for the .card
container in the HTML.
Here's an example with inlined CSS:
html<div style="background: #fff; width: 1200px; height: 630px; padding: 20px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-radius: 10px; text-align: center; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center;">
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img src="avatar.jpg" alt="Author's avatar" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
</div>
<div>
<h1 style="font-size: 32px; font-weight: 600; margin: 20px 0;">Blog Post Title</h1>
<p style="font-size: 18px; color: #666;">www.skorfmann.com</p>
</div>
</div>
In this case, the container for the generated image is set to 1200px by 630px. The actual visual content may appear smaller due to the padding. Adjust the padding and content size as necessary to achieve the desired visual result. Remember to replace "avatar.jpg" with the actual path to the avatar, and "Blog Post Title" with the actual title of the blog post.
Sure, I will add explicit width and height to the img
tag:
html<div style="background: #fff; width: 1200px; height: 630px; padding: 20px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-radius: 10px; text-align: center; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center;">
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img src="avatar.jpg" alt="Author's avatar" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">
</div>
<div>
<h1 style="font-size: 32px; font-weight: 600; margin: 20px 0;">Blog Post Title</h1>
<p style="font-size: 18px; color: #666;">www.skorfmann.com</p>
</div>
</div>
In this example, I set the width and height of the img
tag to 100px. Please note that the image will be stretched or squished to fit these dimensions. If the original image's aspect ratio doesn't match the dimensions you set, it may appear distorted. Consider using an image that's already square, or adjust the dimensions to match the image's aspect ratio.
It looks like you're using a system that requires explicit display properties for div
elements with multiple child nodes. In this case, we can add display: flex
to the content div
that contains the title and domain.
Here's the updated code:
html<div style="background: #fff; width: 1200px; height: 630px; padding: 20px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); border-radius: 10px; text-align: center; display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center;">
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img src="avatar.jpg" alt="Author's avatar" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">
</div>
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; align-items: center;">
<h1 style="font-size: 32px; font-weight: 600; margin: 20px 0;">Blog Post Title</h1>
<p style="font-size: 18px; color: #666;">www.skorfmann.com</p>
</div>
</div>
Now, the div
that contains the title and domain uses display: flex
, flex-direction: column
, and align-items: center
to organize its children. The title and domain will be centered and stacked vertically.
Sure, I'll update the template to match your specified style object, using div
tags with inline styles:
html<div style="height: 100%; width: 100%; display: flex; flexDirection: column; alignItems: center; justifyContent: center; backgroundColor: #fff; fontSize: 32px; fontWeight: 600;">
<div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border-radius: 50%; overflow: hidden; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img src="avatar.jpg" alt="Author's avatar" style="width: 100px; height: 100px;">
Certainly! It looks like you are using JSX syntax where styles are expressed as JavaScript objects, which is commonly used in React. Here's your template with the styles rewritten as JavaScript objects:
jsx<div
style={{
background: '#fff',
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '20px',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
textAlign: 'center',
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
}}
>
<div
style={{
width: '100px',
height: '100px',
borderRadius: '50%',
overflow: 'hidden',
marginBottom: '20px',
}}
>
<img
src="avatar.jpg"
alt="Author's avatar"
style={{
width: '100px',
height: '100px',
}}
/>
</div>
<div
style={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
margin: '20px 0',
}}
>
Blog Post Title
</h1>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '18px',
color: '#666',
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
</div>
This JSX code provides the same appearance as your previous HTML code, but uses a JavaScript object to define each style property. The code assumes you are using a framework like React that supports this syntax. Remember to replace "avatar.jpg" and "Blog Post Title" with your actual data.
Sure, let's adjust the template accordingly. As for the nice background, I'll use a linear gradient as an example. Adjust the colors according to your design preferences:
jsx<div
style={{
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '20px',
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
background: 'linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%)',
color: '#333',
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
textAlign: 'center',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '48px',
fontWeight: '700',
marginBottom: '20px',
}}
>
Blog Post Title
</h1>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '24px',
color: '#666',
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
In this example, I've added a linear gradient to the background of the image that transitions from #a1c4fd
to #c2e9fb
. This provides a vibrant background for the blog post title and domain name.
Feel free to customize the gradient colors, font sizes, and weights to suit your branding and aesthetic preferences. Remember to replace "Blog Post Title" with your actual blog title.
To prevent long titles from overflowing, you can use CSS to ensure the text breaks appropriately and maintains the layout.
For that, you can use a combination of overflow
, textOverflow
, and whiteSpace
properties, and ensure to set a fixed maxWidth
to contain the text within a certain width.
Here's an updated version of your code:
jsx<div
style={{
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '20px',
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
background: 'linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%)',
color: '#333',
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
textAlign: 'center',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '48px',
fontWeight: '700',
marginBottom: '20px',
maxWidth: '90%', // Set a maxWidth for the title.
overflow: 'hidden', // Hide the overflow.
textOverflow: 'ellipsis', // Add ellipsis for overflowed text.
whiteSpace: 'nowrap', // Prevent text from breaking into the new line.
}}
>
This is a really long blog post title that would normally overflow
</h1>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '24px',
color: '#666',
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
This code will prevent the title from breaking into a new line and pushing the domain out of view. However, if the title is too long, it will be truncated and ended with an ellipsis (...). Consider adding a tooltip or other mechanism to display the full title if it is cut off.
Also, keep in mind that you should adjust the maxWidth
according to your design preferences and the maximum title length you expect.
To allow the title to break into the next line without pushing the domain out of the visible content area, we can adjust the placement of the title and the domain in the flex
container. One way to do this is by using the justifyContent
property with the value space-around
or space-between
, which will distribute the space around or between the items, respectively.
In addition, we can also provide some padding at the top to move the title more towards the top of the image.
Here's the adjusted code:
jsx<div
style={{
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '40px 20px 20px 20px', // Add more padding at the top
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'space-between', // Distribute space between items
background: 'linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%)',
color: '#333',
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
textAlign: 'center',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '48px',
fontWeight: '700',
maxWidth: '90%', // Allow for line breaks
wordWrap: 'break-word', // Break long words to next line
}}
>
This is a really long blog post title that is now allowed to break into the next line
</h1>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '24px',
color: '#666',
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
In this version of the code, the wordWrap
property with the break-word
value allows the text to break onto the next line if a word is too long to fit within its containing box.
Remember to adjust the padding and other style properties to best fit your design needs.
If you want to keep the domain fixed at a certain position regardless of the title length, you could use the position: absolute
CSS property. However, to use absolute positioning effectively, you should also define a position: relative
on the parent container to establish a new positioning context.
Below is the updated code that keeps the domain fixed at a certain position from the bottom of the image:
jsx<div
style={{
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '40px 20px 20px 20px',
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'flex-start',
background: 'linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%)',
color: '#333',
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
textAlign: 'center',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
position: 'relative', // Add a relative position here
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '48px',
fontWeight: '700',
maxWidth: '90%',
wordWrap: 'break-word',
marginBottom: '40px', // Provide some bottom margin to prevent overlap with the domain
}}
>
This is a really long blog post title that is now allowed to break into the next line
</h1>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '24px',
color: '#666',
position: 'absolute', // Set the domain position to absolute
bottom: '20px', // Set how far from the bottom the domain should be
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
Now, the domain is positioned absolute to the bottom of the parent container, which is relative positioned. No matter how long the title gets, the domain will stay at the same position from the bottom.
Remember to adjust the bottom
property according to your design needs and to avoid overlap with the title.
We can achieve a better vertical alignment of the text by introducing flex
properties to the title. Here, we can make use of the display: flex
, flexDirection: column
, and justifyContent: center
properties in the title's parent container.
Here's how you can adjust the code:
jsx<div
style={{
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '20px',
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center', // Center the title vertically
background: 'linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%)',
color: '#333',
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
textAlign: 'center',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
position: 'relative',
}}
>
<div
style={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
justifyContent: 'center',
height: 'calc(100% - 70px)', // Subtract the space for the domain
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '48px',
fontWeight: '700',
maxWidth: '90%',
wordWrap: 'break-word',
}}
>
This is a really long blog post title that is now allowed to break into the next line
</h1>
</div>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '24px',
color: '#666',
position: 'absolute',
bottom: '20px',
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
In this version of the code, we've created a new div
around the h1
title. This new div
has a flex display and its height is calculated as the total height of the container minus the space for the domain (70px
in this case - adjust as necessary). The h1
title within this div
will then be centered, allowing it to break into the next line without affecting the domain's position.
Apologies for the confusion. It seems there's a misunderstanding. The calc()
function should be perfectly valid in this context.
However, if you're experiencing issues, we can try an alternative method by using flex-grow
property to expand the title container and push the domain towards the bottom. This approach should automatically adjust the container size based on the content.
Here's an updated version of the code:
jsx<div
style={{
width: '1200px',
height: '630px',
padding: '20px',
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'flex-start',
background: 'linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%)',
color: '#333',
fontSize: '32px',
fontWeight: '600',
textAlign: 'center',
boxShadow: '0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)',
borderRadius: '10px',
position: 'relative',
}}
>
<div
style={{
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
justifyContent: 'center',
flexGrow: 1, // Expand the container
}}
>
<h1
style={{
fontSize: '48px',
fontWeight: '700',
maxWidth: '90%',
wordWrap: 'break-word',
}}
>
This is a really long blog post title that is now allowed to break into the next line
</h1>
</div>
<p
style={{
fontSize: '24px',
color: '#666',
position: 'absolute',
bottom: '20px',
}}
>
www.skorfmann.com
</p>
</div>
In this version of the code, the flex-grow
property is used in the title's parent div
. This property allows the div
to grow and take up any extra space in the container, pushing the domain to the bottom and keeping the title in the center.
