In my last post on Social Image generation, I talked about how I built a site which can be used to automate social image generation. Well, I just built a CLI for it! Introducing soim.

Social Image generator
soim
This image was made by running soim -t "This is some sample output of <b><code>soim</code></b>" -T "social, images, generator" -i "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AnandChowdhary/undrawcdn/master/illustrations/images.svg" -c "Made by @SiddharthShyniben" -p "cover.png"
soim is a CLI tool for generating social images. Given data, soim uses
Puppeteer to screenshot a page.
soim can also be used as a library. The exported generateImage function takes
an object as options, and the options are the same as the CLI options.
Install
# locally
~$ npm i soim
# globally (for CLI)
~$ npm i -g soim
~$ soim -t ...
CLI options
-
-t,--text: The main text. -
-T,--tags: Comma separated list of tags, shown at the top of the image -
-p,--path: The place to write the image -
-l,--link: Custom link where the social image template lives. Useful if you want to design a custom template. See…
It's a small CLI tool to generate social images. Just run soim --text Something --caption something ... and get an image!
It uses puppeteer under the hood to generate images. I'll write a post on it someday.
Hope you like it!
