Why Your Documentation Needs Custom OG Images
Docs pages get shared in GitHub issues, Slack channels, Discord servers, and Stack Overflow answers. Without a custom OG image, every shared link looks the same - a blank preview or a generic site thumbnail. With one, your documentation looks as polished as your product.
Developers share docs in Slack and Discord constantly
When a teammate links to a specific API reference or guide, the unfurled link shows the OG image. A branded card with the docs section title makes the link instantly recognizable.
Stack Overflow and GitHub references get previewed
Links in GitHub issues and Stack Overflow answers sometimes render previews. An OG image with your product name and the specific guide title makes your docs look authoritative.
Onboarding guides shared between teams benefit most
When a team lead sends an onboarding doc link to a new hire, a professional OG card signals that your product is well-documented and developer-friendly.
Consistent branding across every page
Generate an OG image for each major section - Getting Started, API Reference, Tutorials - so every shared link carries your brand regardless of where in your docs it points.
Backfill a docs site headlessly
Docs sites accumulate hundreds of pages. Over MCP an agent can walk them and generate a card per page, or the REST API can run from a publish hook so a new doc gets its image without anyone opening a dashboard.
