OG Images and their Importance

OG images, or open graph images, were created by Facebook as a standard way to provide more visual and informative representations when sharing links on social media platforms. Instead of just displaying a plain link, OG images allow the owner of a website to choose and define an image that represents the content being shared. The OG image is defined using a meta tag called OG image, and it can be customized in terms of content type, aspect ratio, and resolution. Creating and optimizing OG images can enhance the visual appeal and clickability of shared content on platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
