OG image plugin for WordPress
A cover for a blog post — made from its title, in a minute, right in the WordPress editor. The title, excerpt and site name are filled in automatically, you pick a style from the editor templates (35 templates), and the preview is live. Tick a checkbox — and the cover becomes the post’sog:image.

Previous versions
1.5.3 · 2026-10-30
- New 4:3 format, 1280×960. Enable it manually; existing posts are not affected.
1.5.2 · 2026-10-27
- Short links now use the short domain: ogimg.su/img/…. Links saved earlier (og-studio.online/img/…) keep working.
1.5.1 · 2026-10-26
- The interface is fully translatable: source strings are English, the Russian translation is bundled and switches on automatically for Russian-language sites.
1.5.0 · 2026-10-23
- The plugin was renamed to OGImg Covers (new slug ogimg-covers) — the WordPress.org directory rejected the previous name.
- Settings and per-post data are migrated automatically on update — nothing to do.
- The old [og_studio_cover] shortcode keeps working; the new one is [ogimg_covers_cover].
1.4.0 · 2026-10-19
- New “Photo background” template: the post’s featured image as the cover background with a dark overlay. 32 templates in total.
- “Product & price” shows the featured image in the product card.
- The photo is taken from an https:// link; if the post has no image, the cover is built without a photo.
- With a Pro key the service keeps its own copy of the photo for the short link, so the cover does not depend on what happens to the file on your site.
- The “List” template — up to 6 items.
1.3.0 · 2026-10-17
- 8 new task-based templates: blog article, webinar or event, quote, big number, product & price, job, podcast episode, list of three. 31 templates in total.
1.2.0 · 2026-10-15
- Templates match the online editor (23 templates, same names); holiday templates are available on their dates.
- Settings page: default template, “enable for new posts”, Pro key.
- Covers for already published posts (Tools → OGImg Covers).
- Pro key: short links without the og-studio.online badge.
- Scripts and styles are enqueued properly; on uninstall the plugin removes its settings.

- Short links to the cover: og-studio.online/img/…
1.0.0 · 2026-10-07
- First release.
URL → style: a cover from a link
Paste a link to any article — we pull out the title and description, you pick a style — the cover is ready. This is exactly what the plugin does inside WordPress; here you can try it by hand and take the link or the file. No sign-up.
This is the same public render /api/og/render.png that the editor and the plugin use — the image is always served fresh from the link below.

How the plugin works in WordPress
The post editor gets an “OGImg Covers” block: the fields are already filled in from the post, the style is a dropdown, and the preview updates instantly. When you save the post, the plugin gets a short link like ogimg.su/img/Ab3xKp9f and puts it into the meta tags — you do not have to store the image on your own hosting at all.
- WordPress admin → Plugins → “Add New” → search for “OGImg Covers” → “Install Now” → “Activate”. Or upload the zip: “Add New” → “Upload Plugin” (the ogimg-covers folder).
- Open any post — the “OGImg Covers” block is at the bottom: the fields are already filled in from the post.
- Pick a template and an accent color — the preview updates right away.
- Tick “use as og:image” and save — done.
- Auto-fill from the post: title, excerpt, site name
- 35 templates from the editor + holiday ones on their dates, your own accent, badges, 6 formats
- “Photo background” and “Product & price” use the post’s featured image
- Live preview right in the post editor
- A short link ogimg.su/img/… on save
- Fills og:image and twitter:image; the [ogimg_covers_cover] shortcode
- Compatible with Yoast SEO (the wpseo_opengraph_image filter)
- Covers for older posts: in bulk, in one click (Tools → OGImg Covers)
- A default style for new posts — in the plugin settings
- With a Pro key — no watermark
With a Pro subscription, paste the key into the plugin (“Settings → OG Studio → Pro key”) — short links to covers will come without the og-studio.online badge. When the subscription ends the badge comes back by itself; the links keep working. International payments are coming soon.
The plugin stores nothing and sends nothing to your server: it simply builds a link to the og-studio.online render. If you use Yoast SEO, the cover takes over its og:image automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Is the plugin free?
Yes, downloading and using it is free: covers are rendered by the OG Studio service, with no limit on the number of posts. Paid Pro plans are only needed for advanced settings in the OG Studio editor itself — the plugin works independently of them.
Is it compatible with Yoast SEO and Rank Math?
Yes. When the cover is enabled with the checkbox, the plugin supplies it through the standard WordPress filters (wpseo_opengraph_image and similar) — SEO plugins pick the image up automatically, nothing to finish by hand.
What does the plugin store on my server?
Nothing: no database, no tables, no settings on your hosting. The plugin simply builds a link to the og-studio.online render and puts it into the post’s meta tags. You can download the PNG at any time and host it yourself.
Where is the cover inserted?
Into the post’s og:image and twitter:image (the link preview in Telegram, X, LinkedIn and other networks), and the [ogimg_covers_cover] shortcode places the image right in the post text wherever you need it.
What if I do not use WordPress?
Use the demo above: paste a link to any article, pick a style and take the ready og:image meta tag — it works on any site, blog or site builder.
