## What it is
A service that generates Open Graph images (social preview cards) for Twitter, Facebook, Slack, and other platforms. It is officially deprecated in favor of @vercel/og and only works with Node.js 14.

## Use cases
- generate open graph images for social sharing
- create twitter card images dynamically
- generate og image from a url
- social preview image generator service
- generate slack link preview images

## When to choose
- you need a quick self-hosted OG image generator for a legacy Node.js 14 project
- you want to study how dynamic social card generation works

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use @vercel/og or satori instead
- you need current Node.js version support
- you need maintained software with active bug fixes
