# 🖼️ Open Graph Image System for SoundStudioPro
## 🎯 What This Does
When someone shares your SoundStudioPro link on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or other social media platforms, they'll see a beautiful branded preview with:
- **Your logo and branding**
- **Professional appearance**
- **Compelling description**
- **Optimal dimensions (1200x630px)**
## 🚀 How It Works
### 1. Dynamic Image Generation
- `create_og_image.php` generates a custom OG image on-the-fly
- Uses your brand colors (#667eea blue, #764ba2 purple)
- Includes your company name and tagline
- Automatically sized for social media platforms
### 2. Enhanced Meta Tags
- `includes/header.php` now includes comprehensive Open Graph tags
- Optimized for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn
- Music-specific meta tags for music content
- Professional descriptions that convert
### 3. Fallback Options
- Static image fallback if GD library unavailable
- Multiple image formats supported
- Responsive design considerations
## 🎨 Customization Options
### Colors
Edit `create_og_image.php` to change:
```php
$primaryColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 102, 126, 234); // Your blue
$secondaryColor = imagecolorallocate($image, 118, 75, 162); // Your purple
```
### Text Content
Modify these variables:
```php
$title = "SoundStudioPro";
$subtitle = "AI Music Creation Platform";
$tagline = "Create Professional Music with AI";
```
### Logo
Replace the musical note with your actual logo:
```php
// Current: Musical note drawing
// Replace with: imagecreatefrompng('your-logo.png')
```
### Background Style
Customize patterns and effects:
```php
// Geometric patterns
// Gradient backgrounds
// Custom shapes and designs
```
## 📱 Social Media Preview
Your links will now display like this on Facebook:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│ [Beautiful branded image with logo] │
│ SoundStudioPro - AI Music Creation │
│ Create professional, watermark-free │
│ music with AI. Generate original... │

└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```
