Generate Open Graph images with Vercel’s API route functions
Install @vercel/og, then use it inside an API route in your Next.js project:
``jsx
// /pages/api/og.jsx
import { ImageResponse } from '@vercel/og'
export default function () {
return new ImageResponse(
(
Then run
next dev and access localhost:3000/api/og, the React element will be rendered and responded as a PNG from that endpoint:Read more about the API, supported features and check out the examples in the following sections.
API Reference
@vercel/og supports both Node.js Runtime and Edge Runtime.The package exposes an
ImageResponse constructor, with the following options available:`jsx
import { ImageResponse } from '@vercel/og'// ...
new ImageResponse(
element: ReactElement,
options: {
width?: number = 1200
height?: number = 630
emoji?: 'twemoji' | 'blobmoji' | 'noto' | 'openmoji' | 'fluent' | 'fluentFlat' = 'twemoji',
fonts?: {
name: string,
data: ArrayBuffer,
weight: number,
style: 'normal' | 'italic'
}[]
debug?: boolean = false
// Options that will be passed to the HTTP response
status?: number = 200
statusText?: string
headers?: Record
},
)
`When running in production, these headers will be included by
@vercel/og:`jsx
'content-type': 'image/png',
'cache-control': 'public, immutable, no-transform, max-age=31536000',
`During development, the
cache-control: no-cache, no-store header is used instead.$3
