Shareglint as an
alternative to Bannerbear

A mature platform with a visual editor, no-code integrations, video and PDFs.

Before you read on

Bannerbear's drag-and-drop editor is more mature than ours, and around it sit about 60 ready integrations, hundreds of ready-made templates, and video and PDF output. It also has six years of track record. Our visual editor covers the essentials of an OG card — layers, text bound to fields, images, shapes and auto-fitting, with a preview rendered by the same Chrome — and anything beyond that you write in HTML and CSS. We only make images.

Which one to pick

Take Bannerbear

Your marketing team wants hundreds of ready-made designs and an editor with years of polish, or you need video, PDFs or Zapier and Airtable integrations from day one.

Take Shareglint

You want OG images from your own HTML and CSS or from a simple visual editor, and a free tier that does not run out after a trial — at $4.50 per 1,000 images instead of $49.

What migrating looks like

You rewrite the template once, as HTML and CSS. Preview costs no quota, so getting the layout right is free. Then you swap a single call on your side.
