ogdynamic
The problem

Why teams stop making these images by hand.

Image generation that means SDK lock-in

Most image APIs wrap rendering behind client libraries, version churn, and vendor-specific concepts.

Headless browsers just to draw a card

Spinning up Puppeteer per image to render HTML is slow, expensive, and impossible to cache.

Templates nobody on the team can edit

When layouts live in code, every copy tweak becomes a pull request.

How ogdynamic helps

Built for dynamic image api workflows.

The URL is the API

Every canvas renders at a permanent URL. Query parameters override dynamic layers — ?title=Launch+week&price=$29 — and a POST with a JSON body overrides everything else.

Deterministic and cacheable

The same URL and parameters always render the same pixels, served with long-lived immutable caching — safe for CDNs and high-traffic pages.

Templates live in the editor

Designers and developers share one canvas file: layout and styling are visual, data stays in your URL or POST body.

Workflow

From blank canvas to generated images in three steps.

01

Design the canvas

Build your layout in the editor and toggle "allow override" on the layers your data should control.

02

Note the param ids

Each dynamic layer exposes a sanitized param id — the override fields panel lists every key with its type.

03

Render from your stack

Compose URLs in your templates, or POST a JSON overrides body for richer payloads. Treat the image like any other asset URL.

FAQ

Common questions.

How do I generate an image with parameters?

Take the canvas\u{2019}s public image URL and append query parameters that match your dynamic layers\u{2019} param ids, like ?title=Launch+week&author=Ada. The response is the rendered image — you can use it directly in an img tag, a meta tag, or an API response.

What is the difference between GET and POST generation?

GET query parameters are ideal for cacheable, linkable images — perfect for OG tags. A POST with a JSON body of overrides supports larger payloads and beats query params when both are present.

Which output formats and sizes are available?

Every canvas renders as webp (default), png, or jpeg, from any size up to 10,000 pixels per side. Open Graph and Twitter card intents are available for social previews.

Are the renders cached?

Yes. Renders are deterministic and served with immutable long-lived caching keyed by the canvas version, and each save publishes a fresh URL so you control when caches roll over.
