Social sharing images, also known as social media thumbnails, are displayed when your website is shared on social media platforms.
These images help attract attention and give users a preview of your content. They should include compelling visuals and relevant text. By adding social sharing images, you can enhance the overall user experience and make your website more visually appealing and shareable across different platforms.
There are two types of social sharing images:
Main social sharing image - represents your whole website.
Alternate social sharing image - represents individual pages or items like store products, appointment events, and funnels.
To learn how we help social networks surface the correct image to display depending on the link you're sharing, visit How content displays in social posts.
Before you begin
Images shared on Facebook must be at least 200px x 200px. However, Facebook changes their preferred image sizes frequently. If your image appears cropped, we recommend experimenting with image sizes for current best practices. For more help, visit Facebook's documentation.
