Dynamic Open Graph Images: Stop Screenshot Fraud

Open Graph previews can be more than a static thumbnail. Learn how dynamic og:image prevents stale screenshots and copied badges.

When you paste a link into Facebook or LinkedIn, the platform fetches Open Graph tags and displays a preview. Most sites use a static image — which is easy to copy.

Make og:image a live badge

Instead of a static file, Prove I'm Real generates a fresh image on every request. That image includes a timestamp like “Verified 2 minutes ago,” making stale screenshots obvious.

Trust the link, not the image

An image can always be reposted. The real source of truth is the verification page behind the link, which shows expiry and verification level.
