Editorial blog post
Serif headline, photo bleeding from the left edge, warm cream palette.
Branded social cards for posts that actually get shared.
Design a sharp 1200×630 image once and use it as the preview that shows when your link is shared on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Slack, or as your blog hero, newsletter cover, or an in-post quote card. 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."

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 one image you can use in any of these places.
What size should a social card or Open Graph image be?
1200×630 pixels at a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. Every image betterimage.io generates is exactly that size, ready for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, search, blog posts, and newsletters.
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.
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.
Make your next link look like you meant it.
Open the editor, paste a title, drop in any photo. You can have a finished image in under a minute.
