A simple and flexible PHP library for generating Open Graph (OG) (but really any type of) images with customizable backgrounds, text, and watermarks. Perfect for creating dynamic social media preview images for your website or application.

This project was inspired by my clients, each of them wanted to have a custom OG image for their website. One wanted to have a simple image with a quote, another wanted to have an avatar of the user displayed and so on. While there are projects like that and don't get me wrong, they are great, but they are not flexible enough for my needs.

On the other hand, Imagine/Imagine is a great library, but it has a bit of code to write to get the desired result.

Example

Code for the above image:

$og = new OgImageGenerator();
$og->setBackgroundImage('src/assets/images/bg.png');
$og->createImage();

$text = (new TextElement())
    ->setText('OgImage')
    ->setFontSize(75)
    ->setFontColor('#ffffff')
    ->setFontPath('src/assets/fonts/BebasNeue-Regular.ttf')
    ->setBgOpacity(50)
    ->setMargin(50)
    ->setPosition('top', 'center');

$text2 = (new TextElement())
    ->setText('Hello World!')
    ->setFontSize(50)
    ->setFontColor('#ffffff')
    ->setFontPath('src/assets/fonts/BebasNeue-Regular.ttf')
    ->setBgColor('#000000')
    ->setBgOpacity(50)
    ->setPosition(470, 'center');

$text3 = (new TextElement())
    ->setText('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. ')
    ->setFontSize(25)
    ->setFontColor('#ffffff')
    ->setFontPath('src/assets/fonts/BebasNeue-Regular.ttf')
    ->setBgOpacity(50)
    ->setPosition(539, 'center');



$watermark = (new Watermark())
    ->setWatermarkPath('src/assets/images/watermark.png')
    ->setSize(100)
    ->setMargin(10)
    ->setPosition('bottom', 'right');


$og->addWatermark($watermark);
$og->addText($text);
$og->addText($text2);
$og->addText($text3);

$og->render();
