What are static image URLs and how do they work?

Static image URLs are permanent links that always serve your currently selected image for a given source URL.

How they work:

When you select an image for your URL, imghero creates a static URL in the format:

https://imghero.io/img/url_xxxxx/

This URL redirects to your selected image file. The key benefit is that the static URL never changes - even if you regenerate images or select a different one later.

Why this matters:

• Embed the static URL in your website’s Open Graph meta tags
• Use it in your HTML or markdown
• Share it anywhere

If you later decide to use a different image, just select a new one in your dashboard. The same static URL will automatically serve the updated image - no need to update your website or republish content.

Where to find it:

After selecting an image for your URL, you’ll find the static image URL on the URL detail page in your dashboard.
