Automate Facebook Posting
React + Netlify System
Build a scheduled posting system that captures React components as images and posts them automatically - no third-party tools.
Facebook supports 720px, 960px, or 2048px. Using 2048px prevents Facebook from resizing and keeps text crisp.
The Architecture
- 1
React component renders the design
- 2
html-to-image captures at 2048x2048
- 3
Base64 PNG stored in PostgreSQL
- 4
Netlify scheduled function posts daily
- 5
Facebook Graph API receives the image
The Clone Technique
Clone the element at full 2048px size before capturing. This ensures text renders crisply instead of being scaled up from a smaller capture.
Capture the Right Element
Wrong: Capture container with shadows
Right: Capture only content wrapper
