Why doesn't my website/page link show an image when I copy/paste it into my Facebook status? Can someone assist me with this issue?

TL;DR
  • Add Open Graph tags (image, title, description) in Webflow’s page or SEO settings.
  • Re-publish your site and use Facebook’s Sharing Debugger to refresh the link preview and verify correct image display.

If your Webflow page doesn't display an image when shared on Facebook, it's likely due to missing or incorrect Open Graph (OG) meta tags. Facebook relies on these tags to generate link previews, including images.

1. Add Open Graph Tags in Webflow

  • Go to your Webflow project, then navigate to the desired page.
  • In the page settings, scroll down to the Open Graph Settings section.
  • Upload an image in the Open Graph Image URL field (recommended size: 1200×630 pixels).
  • Add a title and description to provide better context for the link preview.

2. Check Site-Wide OG Defaults

  • In Project Settings → SEO, you can set default Open Graph values (image, title, and description). These apply if a page does not have custom OG settings.

3. Re-Publish Your Project

  • After setting your OG tags, publish your website again to ensure Facebook pulls the latest version.

4. Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger

  • Go to the Facebook Sharing Debugger.
  • Paste your URL and click "Debug". Facebook will scrape your page.
  • If it shows outdated or missing OG data, click "Scrape Again" until it displays the correct image.
  • The tool will also highlight any errors or missing tags.

5. Verify OG Image Accessibility

  • Ensure your image is publicly accessible and not hosted behind a restriction (like a staging domain).
  • WebP or SVG images may not be supported by Facebook—use JPEG or PNG formats.

Summary

Make sure your Webflow page includes proper Open Graph tags, especially the image URL, then re-publish and use Facebook’s Sharing Debugger to refresh the preview. This will ensure your link shows the correct image when pasted into a status.
