Review
Useful when judging whether a preview explains the page quickly in a feed.
Verdict
Stripe treats OG images as part of the page system. The homepage, docs, and blog each have a distinct preview that matches the visitor intent.
What works
- Different sections do not collapse into one site-wide default image.
- The docs card is immediately recognizable as documentation rather than a marketing page.
- The brand system is consistent without forcing every preview into the same layout.
Watchouts
- Large brand imagery can be beautiful but still needs small-size readability in Slack and chat previews.
- Editorial cards need enough specificity to avoid looking like generic blog category art.
Page variation study
The product question: does each page type get its own useful preview?
Why this matters for automatic OG images
Stripe is a good model for rule-based automatic generation: marketing pages, docs, and blog posts can each use different detected page signals.
