Very cool - thanks! So is this what the mugshotbot tool does?
This is an upcoming feature. It's mainly used to automate link preview images for your blog. You drop in a line of HTML and it dynamically creates an image when share on Twitter/Facebook.
Nice :)
What would the HTML be for? (Sorry for all the questions. This is just a super interesting tool to me :D)
No problem at all!
With a subscription you can add some HTML to your
<head> <meta name="og:image" content="https://www.mugshotbot.com..." /> </head>
Ok ok ok. That makes sense now 😅. I thought I had to insert a piece of HTML onto the website.
Thanks for your clarification. Is there a free version of this?
Ha, nope, just a meta tag! And yeah, there is a free version.
With the free version you can generate unlimited images via the web GUI. Automating via a URL and removing the small watermark is a paid service.
Got it - thanks for the info :D
No problem! Let me know if you have any more questions or would like to set it up on your blog :)
