Social Media Card Generator

Description

Social Media Card Generator adds a simple and intuitive interface to the WordPress post editor, enabling you to generate beautiful and engaging social media cards on the fly. Stop relying on whatever image social platforms decide to pull from your post. Instead, create a custom, branded image with your post’s title and a short description overlaid, ensuring your content looks professional when shared on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and LinkedIn.

The plugin uses a template image that you provide, ensuring all your social cards maintain a consistent brand identity. You can customize font sizes, text positions, and output formats directly from the settings page.
