Is there any way to set a default image that appears when I share my website on Facebook? I\'ve noticed that Facebook usually fetches the first image from the site to use as
Facebook's servers will 'scrape' your website looking for an image to use when people share it. If you want to specify which image to use, put this in the the <head></head>
section of your website:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://url-to-your-image.png">
Facebook may have cached a copy of the previous random image. To get facebook to fetch again:
This my solution, it's work well:
<head>
<!--FACEBOOK-->
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.website.com/logo.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1024">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="1024">
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.website.com/"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="Website title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Website description." />
<head>
You can make test with Facebook Debug site.
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/lamb-full.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="200">
Image size should be be at least 200px X 200px
You need to set the facebook image meta tag:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/logo.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/png">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1024">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="1024">
