To add social sharing images and boost your website's social media presence:

Social Sharing Images Overview

  • These images appear when sharing URLs on social networks and messaging apps
  • They help increase visibility and engagement, even for pages without images
  • Two types: Social Sharing Logo (website-wide) and Alternative Social Sharing Image (page-specific)

Image Requirements

  • Minimum size: 200 x 200 pixels
  • Facebook may crop images differently based on current standards
  • Experiment with different sizes if cropping issues occur

  1. Navigate to "Share on Social Media" menu
  2. Click + to upload or select from library
  3. Drag and drop image if preferred
  4. Save changes

Adding Alternative Social Sharing Images For Pages:
