I've lately seen some folks on [social.lol](https://social.lol) posting about their various strategies for automatically generating [Open Graph images](https://ogp.me/) for their [Eleventy](https://11ty.dev) sites. So this weekend I started exploring ways to do that for my [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) site.
|
||||
|
||||
During my search, I came across a few different approaches using external services or additional scripts to run at build time. I eventually came across a post from Aaro titled [Generating OpenGraph images with Hugo](https://aarol.dev/posts/hugo-og-image/) which seemed like exactly what I was after, as it uses Hugo's built-in [image functions](https://gohugo.io/functions/images/filter/) to dynamically create the image.

During my search, I came across a few different approaches using external services or additional scripts to run at build time. I eventually came across a post from Aaro titled [Generating OpenGraph images with Hugo](https://aarol.dev/posts/hugo-og-image/) which seemed like exactly what I was after, as it uses Hugo's built-in [image functions](https://gohugo.io/functions/images/filter/) to dynamically create the image by layering text on top of a base.
|
||||
|
||||
I wound up borrowing heavily from Aaro's approach and then adding a few additional capabilities, notably the ability to overlay a designated thumbnail image on top of the resulting OpenGraph image. I'm sure this could be further optimized by someone who knows what they're doing[^future].
|
||||
I ended up borrowing heavily from Aaro's approach with a few variants for the OpenGraph image:
|
||||
- When sharing the home page, the image includes the site description.
|
||||
- When sharing a post, the image includes the post title.
|
||||
- ... but if the post has a thumbnail listed in the front matter, that gets added to the corner of the `og:image`.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm sure this could be further optimized by someone who knows what they're doing[^future]. In any case, here's what I did to get this working.

### New resources
|

Based on Aaro's suggestions, I started by creating a 1200x600 image to use as the base. I used [GIMP](https://www.gimp.org/) for this. I'm not a graphic designer[^web] so I kept it simple while emulating the "logo" displayed at the top of the page:

|

I'm not a graphic designer[^web] so I kept it simple. I wanted to be sure that the text matched the font used on the site, so I downloaded the [Fira Mono `.ttf`](https://github.com/mozilla/Fira/blob/master/ttf/FiraMono-Regular.ttf) to `~/.fonts/` to make it available within GIMP. And then I emulated the colors and style of the "logo" displayed at the top of the page.

That fits with the theme of the site, and leaves plenty of room for text to be added to the image.
|
||||
|
||||
The site uses the Fira Mono font family, and I'd like to use that to ensure the share image is consistent with the site styling. So I also grabbed `FiraMono-Regular.ttf` from the [Fira GitHub](https://github.com/mozilla/Fira).
