Why it matters
Platforms center-crop to ~1.91:1 (or square for some layouts). Important faces/text near edges get clipped.
Which platforms are affected
All OGKit platform profiles, including major social, chat, and search crawlers that consume these tags.
Platform-specific crawler budgets and field priority live in the platform behaviour reference.
How to reproduce
- Compute width/height ratio of the share image.
- Far from ~1.91:1 (1200/630) risks aggressive crop on feed cards.
How to fix
Design on a 1.91:1 canvas with a safe zone inset ~10% from edges for critical content.
