How do I adjust the zoomed-in Facebook icon when sharing my Webflow site?

TL;DR
  • Upload a 1200x630 px Open Graph image in Webflow's SEO settings to ensure correct display.
  • Use Facebook’s Sharing Debugger to clear the cache and update the shared image preview.

When your Webflow site is shared on Facebook and the icon appears zoomed-in or cropped, it typically means the wrong image size or markup is used for the Open Graph (OG) image. Here's how to fix it:

1. Use the Correct Image Dimensions

  • Facebook prefers OG images to be at least 1200 x 630 pixels (aspect ratio 1.91:1).
  • If the image is square or has incorrect proportions, Facebook may auto-crop or zoom it.
  • Avoid small images—Facebook may not display them properly, especially on high-resolution screens.

2. Set Your OG Image in Webflow

  • Go to Project Settings in Webflow.
  • Select the SEO tab.
  • Scroll to Open Graph Settings.
  • Upload a custom image with optimal dimensions (preferably 1200x630 px).
  • Save and Publish your site.

3. Override OG Image Per Page (Optional)

  • In the Webflow Designer, go to the Pages panel.
  • Select a page, then go to Page Settings (gear icon).
  • Under Open Graph Settings, upload a custom image specific to that page.
  • This allows you to fine-tune the share image per page.

4. Clear the Facebook Cache

  • Even after updates, Facebook may still pull the old image from cache.
  • Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
  • Paste your URL and click “Debug”, then click “Scrape Again”.
  • This forces Facebook to update its cache and fetch your new OG image.

5. Test the Share Appearance

  • After updating and scraping, test by pasting your URL into a Facebook post to preview the updated card.
  • Ensure the image shows correctly without being zoomed or cropped.

Summary

To prevent Facebook from zooming in on your Webflow site’s share icon, upload a 1200x630 px OG image in your Project SEO settings, and use the Facebook Debugger to refresh the preview. This ensures your shared link displays correctly on Facebook.
