Web Graphics use cases

Web Graphics focuses on outbound link previews for public websites—distinct from the Branded Graphics product, which handles always-on OG images across every URL automatically. Here’s how customers use the Image API variants to stay discoverable, trustworthy, and on-message.

Launch & campaign pages

  • Goal: Keep every launch link consistent across Twitter/X, LinkedIn, newsletters, and partner blogs.
  • Template picks: bold for loud reveal statements, promo for feature highlights, pricing for offer cards.
  • Playbook: Trigger new cards during the changelog publish step and rotate CTA colors (accentColor) per campaign.

Editorial & knowledge hubs

  • Goal: Make docs, tutorials, and ecosystem content look polished when shared.
  • Template picks: clean, article, and docs.
  • Playbook: Map CMS categories to division badges, and inject author names or read times into brand.

Events & community

  • Goal: Increase RSVP conversions by sharing time/date-focused previews.
  • Template picks: event for webinars, wedding for formal invites, elegant for VIP dinners.
  • Playbook: Include timezone or streaming info inside desc, and color-code series using primaryColor.

Integrations & partner moments

  • Goal: Celebrate new ecosystem additions or case studies with logo-forward cards.
  • Template picks: highlight (aka logo) plus clean for accompanying write-ups.
  • Playbook: Pass transparent PNG/SVG logos into image and create dynamic URLs keyed by partner slug.
