Starting with the latest alpha 16 of Automad 2, Open-Graph images are rendered automatically for every page on the fly. Colors can be customized, a logo can be added. No further setup needed.

The mockup above show the image that is rendered for this very page. The logo is added by simply uploading a file called open-graph-logo.png to the shared data collection. That's it. Of course it is also possible to replace the entire image with a custom one in the page setting.

Other Meta-Tags

Alpha 16 not only takes care of rendering those fancy images but also makes sure all other meta tags that are required for SEO or sharing pages on social networks are added when missing automatically. Theme developers can therefore skip adding anything else that asset links to the <head> element.
