Create an API route handler:

app/api/og/route.tsx
import { ImageResponse } from 'next/og';
// App router includes @vercel/og.
// No need to install it.


export async function GET() {
  return new ImageResponse(
    (
      <div
        style={{
          display: 'flex',
          fontSize: 40,
          color: 'black',
          background: 'white',
          width: '100%',
          height: '100%',
          textAlign: 'center',
          justifyContent: 'center',
          alignItems: 'center',
        }}

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:

terminal
pnpm dev

Then, browse to http://localhost:3000/api/og. You will see the following image:
