Framing advice
- Do not bake the headline into the image: the card renders its own title and description below, and repetition looks bad.
- Leave a 60px safe margin — some surfaces (Messenger forwards) crop tighter.
- The same file can serve as og:image, saving a second design.
The most common failure
Exporting at 16:9 and referencing it as og:image: after the 1.91:1 crop both sides lose a strip.
