OGMagic vs @vercel/og

Choosing an OG Image Workflow

@vercel/og renders layouts you define in code. OGMagic provides ready-made designs, an editor, and an API that creates hosted images. Choose based on how much layout control you need and whether you want to operate the rendering endpoint.

What is @vercel/og?

@vercel/og converts HTML and CSS layouts to images using Satori and Resvg. Vercel documents Node.js and supported Edge runtime configurations. Next.js App Router includes ImageResponse through next/og.

What to Consider with @vercel/og

• •You maintain the layout code and its fonts or image assets.
• •Satori supports a subset of CSS; check your design against that subset.
• •Runtime and deployment requirements depend on your framework and host.

Why Choose OGMagic Instead

• ✓55 ready-made templates for Open Graph images
• ✓Visual editor previews without signing in; email access to save images
• ✓Authenticated creation API with credential-free public image URLs
• ✓Reuse a saved image without another generation credit
• ✓Free tier / €10 / US $12 one-time Pro

// app/api/og/route.tsx
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og';

export const runtime = 'nodejs';

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const title = new URL(request.url).searchParams.get('title') || 'Hello';
  return new ImageResponse(
    <div style={{
      display: 'flex', width: '100%', height: '100%',
      background: '#18181b', color: 'white',
      padding: 60, alignItems: 'center', fontSize: 60,
    }}>
      {title}
    </div>,
    { width: 1200, height: 630 }
  );
}

// Run on your server, at build time, or when publishing content.
const response = await fetch("https://www.ogmagic.dev/api/images", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer " + process.env.OGMAGIC_API_KEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ title: "My article", template: "gradient-mesh" }),
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Image creation failed");
const image = await response.json();
// Save image.url with your content; use it in og:image and twitter:image.

How to Migrate from @vercel/og

1. 1Choose a design from the OGMagic template library and preview it in the editor.
2. 2Get an API key through an email link, then create images in the editor or with authenticated POST /api/images requests.
3. 3Save each returned public image URL with its page and use it for og:image and twitter:image.
4. 4Test existing pages and social previews before retiring an old image route or service. Keep old URLs available for links that still use them.
