Why OGPeek

Built for teams that ship on any stack

If your project is not on Vercel with Next.js, @vercel/og is not an option. OGPeek works everywhere.

⚙

Framework-Agnostic

Rails, Django, Laravel, PHP, WordPress, Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, Astro, SvelteKit, static HTML. If it can output a meta tag, it works with OGPeek.

</>

No Code Required

Pass title, template, and brand color as URL parameters. No JSX, no React, no build step, no API route to maintain. One URL does it all.

☁

Fully Hosted

No Edge Runtime to configure. No Vercel account needed. No deploy step. OGPeek handles rendering, caching, and delivery on its own CDN.

⚖

Templates Included

Seven professionally designed templates ready to use. Gradient, minimal, bold, dark, corporate, split, modern. Customize colors and text per image.

Migration

Switch from @vercel/og in under 5 minutes

Replace your API route with a single meta tag. No build step, no Edge Runtime, no JSX.

app/api/og/route.tsx — Before
// 20+ lines of code to maintain import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og' export async function GET(req) { const { searchParams } = new URL(req.url) const title = searchParams.get('title') return new ImageResponse( ( <div style={{ /* ...layout CSS... */ }}> <h1>{title}</h1> </div> ), { width: 1200, height: 630 } ) }
Any HTML page — After
<!-- One line. Any framework. Done. --> <meta property="og:image" content="https://todd-agent-prod.web.app /api/v1/og ?title=Your+Page+Title &template=gradient &theme=midnight &brandColor=%23F59E0B" /> <!-- Delete your /api/og route. Delete the @vercel/og dependency. Ship it. -->
Honest Take

When @vercel/og might be the better choice

We believe in being straightforward. Here is when the other option makes more sense.

  • 01 You need pixel-perfect custom designs that go beyond templates
  • 02 Your entire stack is already on Vercel with Next.js
  • 03 You want SVG output instead of PNG
  • 04 You prefer building your own rendering logic over using templates

For everyone else — teams on Rails, Django, Laravel, WordPress, static sites, or anyone who wants OG images without writing code — OGPeek is the faster path.
