Share Image
Promoting sharing of personalised cards such as team lineup or voting preferences
The Share Image converter generates a rich media image that users can easily share on social media platforms. This converter facilitates the promotion and viral spread of content by empowering users to share visually appealing images associated with their own interactions.
How do Share Images work?
Devices with share tray functionality, such as mobile devices and Apple products in the Safari browser, open a share tray for fans to directly share on social media and messaging services like Facebook, X, and WhatsApp.
For devices that do not support this feature, such as Windows desktops and browsers like Chrome or Edge, fans can copy the share URL to their clipboard. They can then paste the URL into their chosen social media and messaging service.
