Huge thanks to Aaro Luomanen for this post, this was my starting point for generating OG images on this site when I moved to Hugo.

There are a bunch of cloud services that offer og:image generation, like Cloudinary or Vercel’s og, but I didn’t want to pay for those. I want my whole website to be static and cheap to host. I managed to generate some sweet og:images using Hugo’s image manipulation tools.
