What is the recommended method for hosting an open graph image in Webflow?
TL;DR
The best way to host an Open Graph (OG) image in Webflow is to upload it directly to Webflow’s Assets panel or use Webflow’s static file hosting via the CMS or page settings. Here’s how to do it:
1. Upload the Image to Webflow
- Open your Webflow project.
- Click on the Assets Panel (folder icon in the left toolbar).
- Drag and drop your OG image (1200x630px recommended) into the panel.
- Click on the uploaded image and copy the Direct URL.
2. Add the Image to Open Graph Settings
- Open Page Settings for the specific page.
- Scroll to the Open Graph Settings section.
- Paste the copied image URL into the Open Graph Image URL field.
- Add a title and description for better social sharing.
- Click Save and Publish your project.
3. Verify the Open Graph Setup
- Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger (developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) to test your OG setup.
- Paste your Webflow page URL and click Debug.
- Click Scrape Again if needed to refresh the OG data.
