Overview
When sharing a blog post to Facebook, you may notice that the thumbnail image is incorrect or not formatted as expected. Facebook prefers images that are 1200x630 pixels and may automatically select a different image from your page if it finds one that is larger. To ensure your desired image appears correctly, you should resize and upscale your featured image to meet Facebook's requirements.
Step-by-Step Guide
-
Go to your blog post and click the Crop Thumbnails button.
-
Crop the thumbnail specifically for Facebook. The system will automatically resize it to the recommended dimensions for Facebook.
-
Click the Refresh Facebook Preview button to check if the updated thumbnail appears correctly on Facebook.
- Once the correct thumbnail appears, share your blog post by clicking Share this page.
Following these steps will help ensure your blog post displays the correct thumbnail image when shared on Facebook, improving your post's appearance and engagement.
