When someone shares your webpage on platforms like Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, or messaging apps, a preview image known as the social share image (also called an Open Graph image or link preview image) is displayed alongside the link. This image serves as a visual hook, influencing how your content is perceived and encouraging users to click.
How to Set or Update the Social Share Image in the Builder
Click the Page Picker
Navigate to the "Meta" tab

Still seeing the old image?
If your new social share image isn’t showing up, it could be due to caching. Here’s what to check:
Social media platforms often cache preview data. To refresh it, re-scrape your page using:
Your browser might also cache the page. Try a hard refresh (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows), or view the page in a private/incognito window.
Recommended Image Specifications
To ensure your image displays correctly across platforms, follow these guidelines:
Dimensions: 1200 × 630 pixels (minimum 600 × 315)
Aspect ratio: 1.91:1
Format: JPG or PNG
File size: Ideally under 5MB
Design notes: Keep important elements centered, avoid text-heavy layouts, and maintain clear branding.
Best Practices
Align your image visually with your page’s title and description.
Incorporate your logo or branding subtly, without overpowering the design.
Use a clear focal point and avoid putting key elements near the image edges.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
Using low-resolution images that appear blurry or pixelated
Relying on heavy text that may be cropped or unreadable
Not updating caches or re-scraping after changes, causing old images to persist
