What is an Open Graph image?
It's the picture that appears when someone shares a link to your page. It's set with an og:image meta tag in the page's <head>. Without one, platforms pick a random image from the page, or none at all.
The meta tags to add
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/share.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630">
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="Describe the image">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">Use an absolute URL (with https://). On Shopify, Webflow and WordPress, there's usually a "social sharing image" field that writes these tags for you.
Design tips
- Keep text large and in the centre: some apps crop the edges or show a smaller square version.
- Use a JPEG for photos, PNG only for flat graphics.
- One clear message: your brand, the page title, and a visual.
Changed the image and it doesn't update?
Social networks cache previews. Use Facebook's Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn's Post Inspector to fetch the new image.
