Branded social cards for posts that actually get shared.
Design one card, export six platform sizes: the 1200×630 link preview for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, and Slack, plus YouTube thumbnails, Instagram squares and portraits, stories, and Pinterest pins. The image you preview is the image you download. No design tools, no signup.
Default share previews cost you readers.
Posts with a custom share image get more clicks, more shares, and look like they were made on purpose. Blank previews and unstyled hero images get scrolled past.
Made for shipping, not for design tools.
If you publish online, you want this done in a minute. Not a Figma file you open once a month. Not a Canva subscription you forget about.
Looks designed, on purpose.
Real typography control, hand-tuned layouts, color presets that read on any background. Nothing here screams "made in a generator."

Every platform size
One design exports as the 1200×630 link preview, a 1280×720 YouTube thumbnail, 1080×1080 square, 1080×1350 portrait, 1080×1920 story, and 1000×1500 Pinterest pin. Layouts restack automatically on vertical canvases.
Per-element typography

Real layout variants
Image right, left, full cover, floating, edge bleed. Avatar on top, on the side, or as the background. Switch layouts without losing the text you typed.
Color presets and textures
Curated palettes that set background, accent, and readable text colors together. Solid fills, gradients at any angle. Optional dot, grid, or graph-paper overlays.
Live preview, exact output
What you see while editing is the image you download. Updates the instant you change something. No render button to click.
Start from your page
Paste a link and the editor prefills the card from the page's own title, description, author, and images. Fix what needs fixing instead of typing from scratch.
From blank to published.

FAQ
Common questions.
What is a social card?
A social card is a branded 1200×630 image used as a link preview on social platforms (Open Graph, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook), as a blog hero, a newsletter cover, or an in-post quote graphic. betterimage.io generates it at every platform size from one design.
What size should a social card or Open Graph image be?
1200×630 pixels at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio for link previews on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and Discord; that is the editor's default. The size picker also exports the same design as a 1280×720 YouTube thumbnail, 1080×1080 square, 1080×1350 portrait, 1080×1920 story, and 1000×1500 Pinterest pin.
Do I need an account to use betterimage.io?
No. The editor runs in the browser without a signup. An optional free account lets you save reusable templates (a starting design you can re-open later).
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes. The output is yours. The product is the tool, not the output.
Why is there a watermark on the downloaded image?
The free download includes a small "Made with betterimage.io" mark in the corner. That is how the project is funded. A one-time $4.99 payment returns the same image without the watermark. No account required. For automated generation there are also API plans from $9.00/month.
What fonts are available?
Inter, Poppins, Playfair Display, Space Grotesk, and JetBrains Mono. Each text element gets its own font, weight, size, color, and alignment.
What can I save with an account?
Saved templates: the full design (template kind, typography, colors, layout, accent) together with any photo or logo you uploaded, restored when you re-open it. Sign up with email and password, or with Google.
