Facebook Shared Link Image Resizer

When someone shares your web page on Facebook, the preview card uses its link image. This page makes it 1200×630, the 1.91:1 size Facebook and most apps expect. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.

Getting the Facebook link image right

Link previews are generated from your website’s social image. At 1200×630 Facebook shows a large card instead of a small thumbnail.

🔗

Controls your link card

Facebook builds the preview from the page’s og:image — this size fills it.

🌐

Works across apps

LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp and Slack use the same 1.91:1 preview.

📐

Large card, not a thumbnail

Images that are too small can be shown as a tiny square instead.

📝

Readable headline

Big words in the middle survive slight crops in other apps.

About 120 KB–240 KB as JPG

A typical photo at 1200×630 saves to roughly 120 KB–240 KB at good quality — well within the upload limit.

✂

You choose the crop

Filling 1200×630 from a 4:3 phone photo trims about 30% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick the fit option to keep everything.

The image behind every shared link

It comes from your website. The picture in a Facebook link preview is read from the page’s og:image tag. Website builders and blog platforms usually call it the “social image” or “featured image”. Uploading a 1200×630 image there controls what every share looks like.

One image, many apps. The same 1.91:1 preview size is used by LinkedIn, WhatsApp, X, Slack and messaging apps, so getting it right once fixes your link cards everywhere.

Keep words off the edges. Some apps show a slightly cropped or smaller version, so put the headline in the middle with a margin, and use large text.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the image for a link shared on Facebook?

1200×630 pixels (1.91:1). Set it as your page’s social or og:image; smaller images may appear as a small thumbnail instead of a large card.

Why does my Facebook link preview show the wrong image?

Facebook caches previews. After changing the og:image, refresh it with Meta’s Sharing Debugger so Facebook reads the new 1200×630 image.

Is 1200×628 the same as 1200×630?

Practically yes — both are 1.91:1. 1200×630 is the common og:image size; 1200×628 is often quoted for ads.

Can I just upload a photo instead of a link?

Yes, but then it is a photo post, not a link card. For photo posts use the post resizer.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
