The OMG image builder
The OMGIMG image builder offers lots of options for designing beautiful, compelling images for your posts, products, and socials. Here's how the builder keeps things simple.
Unlike some image builders, OMGIMG doesn't support unlimited options. We believe Photoshop and Canva already exist. Instead the builder uses a grid to keep images and text lined up and looking tidy.

Next, break each column down into rows, or sections. For example, the right column of our "side panel" preset has two sections, the post title and the post excerpt:
But what about the logo in the bottom right?
The logo can be added to a column as a section. Or it can float over the top of your design, so it doesn't move, regardless of the content in the column. That way it's always in the same place. Consistency is good for branding!
Columns
Add up to three columns:
To add columns, go to the OMG image builder. Move your mouse over the image preview to see the layout of your image. Click the "Add a column" button.
Sections
Sections are stacked inside a row. You can add as many as you like.
To add a section, click the "add a section" button the builder:
There are three kinds of sections:
