See exactly how your link will look when you share it on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp and Slack, and find out why the picture is missing, blurry or cropped. Free, no sign-up.
Our server reads the page’s share tags and the first bytes of its image. Nothing is stored, and private or local addresses are refused.
Why does my link show no picture?
When you paste a link, apps read a few hidden tags on the page, called Open Graph tags, to build the preview. The most common problems are:
- No share image (og:image). Without it, most apps show a plain text link.
- The image is too small or the wrong shape. Large link cards are about 1.91 : 1. Use 1200 × 630 pixels so nothing important gets cropped.
- The image file is too big. LinkedIn and X stop at 5 MB, and WhatsApp often skips large images.
- An old preview is stuck. Apps remember previews for days. After fixing your tags, refresh them with LinkedIn’s Post Inspector or Facebook’s Sharing Debugger. The checker links to both.
Best share image size
1200 × 630 pixels, JPG or PNG, under 300 KB. That one image works well on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp and Slack. Keep text and faces near the middle, because some apps crop the edges, and WhatsApp shows a small square.
How to fix it on WordPress
If you use Yoast SEO or Rank Math, open the page in the editor, find the SEO panel’s Social tab, and set a social title, description and image. Or set a featured image, which most SEO plugins use as the share image. Then check the link again here.
Questions
Are the previews exact?
They’re close approximations of each app’s current design. Apps change their layouts now and then, and some crop images differently on phones and computers.
Do you store the links I check?
No. Our server reads the page’s share tags and the first bytes of its image, shows you the result, and keeps it for 10 minutes at most so repeat checks are fast.
