A Orshot alternative for article images
Last updated:
ContentImage is an alternative to Orshot if your goal is an on-brand featured, OG and social image for every article, made automatically and typeset correctly in Finnish, German, French, Spanish or English. It is not a general template editor, so if you need one, stay with Orshot.
Why people look beyond Orshot
- They publish many articles and do not want to design or maintain a template per format.
- Their headlines are long compound words that overflow or shrink to unreadable size.
- They want the image attached to the post by itself, not a render API to wire up.
What ContentImage does instead
- Reads the page and your site to learn logo, colors and fonts.
- Chooses one of four styles: typographic, photo, quote or split.
- Typesets the headline per language: hyphenation, balanced lines, local quotation marks, French spacing.
- Checks legibility and re-renders weak results, then delivers four sizes: OG, featured, square and story.
- Optionally runs as an agent that watches your sitemap or RSS and publishes to WordPress, Ghost or a webhook.
