New features, bug fixes, and improvements to OGMagic, from the first repository changes on February 20, 2026. Updates are grouped by the date they entered our release branch; older entries describe behavior at the time. See the documentation for current usage.
FixedPage titles, descriptions, social cards and canonical URLs now consistently identify each page and use www.ogmagic.dev, matching the production domain.
ImprovedStructured data now matches visible site, article, FAQ and template content. Recorded article revisions appear in the guides and sitemap without changing original publication dates.
FixedEvery template gallery card opens its detail page, including Pro templates. Default template previews load as static images and use the same colors as saved images.
ImprovedRefreshed Open Graph guides, framework-specific examples and provider comparisons around saved image URLs, with clearer documentation links and factual product claims.
AddedA repeatable SEO audit checks rendered metadata, indexing rules, links and images. Search-service verification settings, regression coverage and release guidance support future updates.
FixedSDK source now sends authenticated requests directly to the www production origin while retaining redirect protection. SDK publication remains separate from the website release.
Embedded Stripe checkout, email-linked Pro & purchase records
AddedEmbedded Stripe checkout with Managed Payments, replacing the previous payment provider. Base pricing is USD 12 for US visitors and EUR 10 elsewhere; checkout shows any local currency conversion before payment.
ImprovedPro activates after verifying the purchase email. Signed payment events record purchases and queue license emails for retry; full refunds and disputes revoke the affected purchase.
AddedDated Terms and Privacy pages, required Terms acceptance in checkout, recorded agreement evidence, and a durable copy of accepted Terms in purchase email.
AddedA public two-step withdrawal form with a downloadable receipt and independently retried receipt and support emails.
FixedCorrected unsupported checkout parameters and aligned the payment notice with Stripe's native Terms checkbox.
ImprovedAnalytics strips query strings, fragments and credentials; referrer handling and deployment tracing further limit exposure of private data.
ImprovedTemplate names, tier badges, rankings and actions stay outside image artwork. Copy controls, email-link loading and retries, and discount-offer preferences were refined.
ImprovedSDK package metadata points users to the website and contact page for support.
FixedThe sitemap is generated from public routes and shared framework/template catalogs, while blog listings preserve recorded publication dates.
Saved images, private API keys & branded image URLs
AddedPasswordless email access at /keys, private API key creation and rotation, and a saved-image library with usage and deletion controls.
AddedPOST /api/images creates and stores PNGs, reuses identical saved artwork, and returns public image and download URLs without credentials.
ImprovedSaved images are delivered through ogmagic.dev/images/<id>.png. Public views do not render images or spend generation credits.
ImprovedAPI creation and editor downloads share allowances per verified email: 50 Free or 500 Pro new images per 30 days, with storage for 200 Free or 5,000 Pro images. Saved images survive allowance resets.
ImprovedReserved capacity, upload cleanup and transactional publication keep failed image creation from charging credits. Deletion frees storage without refunding generation credits.
ImprovedThe legacy generation API was retired. Documentation and SDK source now use authenticated server/build-time creation and publish only saved public URLs.
ImprovedTransactional email uses authenticated SES SMTP. Newsletter placements share the 20% offer, and template badges and homepage card alignment were corrected.
ImprovedCustom previews explain their 600×315 resolution and large preview watermark. Final images default to 1200×630; Free keeps the small OGMagic watermark and Pro removes it.
ImprovedUnified the site's dark theme, typography, buttons, forms, header and footer, with shared mobile navigation, keyboard controls and a skip link.
ImprovedConsolidated templates and SDK helpers, bundled rendering fonts, corrected editor sharing and quota behavior, and added regression tests and continuous integration.
ImprovedHardened URL checking, request validation and administrative access, and removed obsolete launch countdowns and fabricated activity reporting.
