title: ImageResponse description: API Reference for the ImageResponse constructor.

The ImageResponse constructor allows you to generate dynamic images using JSX and CSS. This is useful for generating social media images such as Open Graph images, Twitter cards, and more.

Reference

Parameters

The following parameters are available for ImageResponse:

import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

new ImageResponse(
  element: ReactElement,
  options: {
    width?: number = 1200
    height?: number = 630
    emoji?: 'twemoji' | 'blobmoji' | 'noto' | 'openmoji' = 'twemoji',
    fonts?: {
      name: string,
      data: ArrayBuffer,
      weight: number,
      style: 'normal' | 'italic'
    }[]
    debug?: boolean = false

    // Options that will be passed to the HTTP response
    status?: number = 200
    statusText?: string
    headers?: Record<string, string>
  },
)

Examples are available in the Vercel OG Playground.

Supported HTML and CSS features

ImageResponse supports common CSS properties including flexbox and absolute positioning, custom fonts, text wrapping, centering, and nested images.

Please refer to Satori’s documentation for a list of supported HTML and CSS features.

Behavior

• ImageResponse uses @vercel/og, Satori, and Resvg to convert HTML and CSS into PNG.
• Only flexbox and a subset of CSS properties are supported. Advanced layouts (e.g. display: grid) will not work.
• Maximum bundle size of 500KB. The bundle size includes your JSX, CSS, fonts, images, and any other assets. If you exceed the limit, consider reducing the size of any assets or fetching at runtime.
• Only ttf, otf, and woff font formats are supported. To maximize the font parsing speed, ttf or otf are preferred over woff.

Examples

Route Handlers

ImageResponse can be used in Route Handlers to generate images dynamically at request time.

import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

export async function GET() {
  try {
    return new ImageResponse(
      (
        <div
          style={{
            height: '100%',
            width: '100%',
            display: 'flex',
            flexDirection: 'column',
            alignItems: 'center',
            justifyContent: 'center',
            backgroundColor: 'white',
            padding: '40px',
          }}
        >
          <div
            style={{
              fontSize: 60,
              fontWeight: 'bold',
              color: 'black',
              textAlign: 'center',
            }}
          >
            Welcome to My Site
          </div>
          <div
            style={{
              fontSize: 30,
              color: '#666',
              marginTop: '20px',
            }}
          >
            Generated with Next.js ImageResponse
          </div>
        </div>
      ),
      {
        width: 1200,
        height: 630,
      }
    )
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(`${e.message}`)
    return new Response(`Failed to generate the image`, {
      status: 500,
    })
  }
}

File-based Metadata

You can use ImageResponse in a opengraph-image.tsx file to generate Open Graph images at build time or dynamically at request time.

import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'

// Image metadata
export const alt = 'My site'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image() {
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ImageResponse JSX element
      <div
        style={{
          fontSize: 128,
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          display: 'flex',
          alignItems: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
        }}
      >
        My site
      </div>
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported opengraph-image
      // size config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
    }
  )
}

Custom fonts

You can use custom fonts in your ImageResponse by providing a fonts array in the options.

import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og'
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { join } from 'node:path'

// Image metadata
export const alt = 'My site'
export const size = {
  width: 1200,
  height: 630,
}

export const contentType = 'image/png'

// Image generation
export default async function Image() {
  // Font loading, process.cwd() is Next.js project directory
  const interSemiBold = await readFile(
    join(process.cwd(), 'assets/Inter-SemiBold.ttf')
  )

  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      // ...
    ),
    // ImageResponse options
    {
      // For convenience, we can re-use the exported opengraph-image
      // size config to also set the ImageResponse's width and height.
      ...size,
      fonts: [
        {
          name: 'Inter',
          data: interSemiBold,
          style: 'normal',
          weight: 400,
        },
      ],
    }
  )
}
