You can use the following code sample to explore using parameters and different content types with [`next/og`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/opengraph-image#generate-images-using-code-js-ts-tsx). To learn more about OG Image Generation, see [Open Graph Image Generation](https://vercel.com/docs/og-image-generation).
Create an API route handler:
```ts
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og';
// App router includes @vercel/og.
// No need to install it.
export async function GET() {
return new ImageResponse(
(
),
{
width: 1200,
height: 630,
},
);
}
```
```js
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og';
// App router includes @vercel/og.
// No need to install it.
export async function GET() {
return new ImageResponse(
(
),
{
width: 1200,
height: 630,
},
);
}
```
> If you're not using a framework, you must either add `"type": "module"` to your `package.json` or change your JavaScript Functions' file extensions from `.js` to `.mjs`
Preview the OG route locally by running the following command:
```bash
pnpm dev
```
