Show HN: A zero effort social image generator for your website

I made Mugshot Bot because I spend way too long creating the “perfect” social image for my blog posts. And I figured there’s got to be a better, more automated way.

You type in your website and Mugshot Bot automatically creates an image to share on Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere on the web. All you have to do is copy the generated HTML into your <head>. You don’t even need to download it.

The tool is free to use and randomly creates social images from 80+ backgrounds and 10 colors. It pulls data from your website’s <title> tag and other meta tags to generate the copy.

If you have any questions about the site, or feature requests, let me know! I’m looking forward to seeing your new social image.

Any plans to use the Open Graph tags and also fetch images?

The bot uses the title and description Open Graph rags to render the copy in the image. I’m working on adding a logo that is generated from the favicon and setting the color to match the page!

Would be nice to also show any the associated open graph image as well.
