Or can you? Yes, you can force Facebook to show a thumbnail for your link using a neat little trick before you post the update. Today we'll take you through how to do this and a few other handy image-related tricks to make your Facebook timeline look great. If you've pasted a link into Facebook and there's no thumbnail image showing up to choose, here's what you can do. To start with, don't make your update just yet. Instead, head to the Facebook Developers debug tool search for it if you lose the link.
Here, you can enter the URL of the link you're trying to post. This forces Facebook to crawl the link and see if there is an image. If you scroll down into the debug results, you should now see an image thumbnail. Now you're ready to make your update. If you now go back to Facebook home or your profile in order to share your link you should see at least one thumbnail image appearing.
So, choose your image and post your link. Sometimes you upload a photo to Facebook and when it appears on your timeline you realise it is terribly cropped - sometimes cropping out the head of the person or focusing on something which isn't the subject of the photo.
These can actually be nudged about so that the thumbnail image is showing the best part of the photo. It's actually quite easy to do. On your timeline, while looking at the photo update you will see the edit button in the top right. Believe it or not, just like restart your computer, clearing the browser caches and cookies is regarded as a priority and somehow works to fix YouTube preview not showing on Facebook. You can always find " Clear Cookies and Caches " on " Settings " window of each common browser.
This is a supplement solution based on the first one. So keep your browser up to date and disable all your extensions to see if it works. Download and give it a shot, it never let you down. If the YouTube video is processing and has not finished uploading yet, the shared video will have a pretty good high chance of losing the thumbnail, metadata and information after posting to Facebook.
It makes sense that Facebook can only analyze parts of video data if the YouTube video is not fully processed. You know what, Facebook will analyze, load and record the data from YouTube video link once it's shared for the first time. That is to say, even if you've updated your video information on YouTube like changing thumbnail , it probably doesn't synchronize with the subsequent shared video on Facebook, because Facebook has added the first-shared video info the cache.
That's the common reason why YouTube link no thumbnail on Facebook or with an outdated information. But don't be fret, this problem can be easily fixed using Facebook's Sharing Debugger tool.
Facebook should just zoom it up right? Facebook should try to adjust and if not, most SEO plugins have an option to upload an image specifically for Facebook or other sharing platforms for those to use.
Thanks for sharing what solved the issue for you. Is there any updated advise on this? I use SEO Yoast Premium and have set the correct photo for the Facebook link preview but Facebook is still choosing the incorrect photo that is completely irrelevant to the post. So sadly my blog was set up under All in One Seo not Yoast.
When I tell All in One which image to display as a thumbnail in the social meta section, Facebook shows the default image instead. This solved my problem!! I used Fb debugger and copied the URL for the photo it said it could not find. Then went to my dashboard and double clicked the photo and inserted the alternate title copied from the debugger! Et voila! Thanks guys! Thank you so much! I use Yoast for years but never occurred to me to follow setting instructions like you helped me today.
Is there a way to fix this problem without having to manually use the facebook debugger for every single post? I have hundreds of posts and all are showing the wrong pic. Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much. I have tried all the methods for but all is in vain. My problem with Facebook thumbnail started 24 hours ago and right now am confused. Dear author, i followed all the steps but none of these worked for me.
In my case when I click on what facebook crawler see on your page. The new window open with nothing in it. Please help. I am facing an issue that any image which I share any link be it Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn it does not pick any image at all. I am not able to understand why it happens and what could be the solution.
If you have any solution, please help me out. Hi I have recently started facing a weird problem while posting on my Facebook Page.
Earlier, when posting a link from my website, I was able to change the image that Facebook automatically pulled from that respective website link.
The earlier process was like this: 1. Put link on a new facebook post 2. FB automatically pulls the featured image from my wordpress post 3.
I uploaded a new image 4. Removed the featured image 5. Published the post with an image of my choice. Now, everything is going fine except step no. I am no longer able to remove the automatically pulled featured image. So instead of a single, large image I am getting stuck with a two image carousel. I have the same issue! I can neither upload new images nor remove featured images — does anyone have a solution? I am having the same problem.
There are 2 default pictures, I upload another one which I want to appear, but in a few seconds my uploaded picture disappears. Does anyone have a solution? Facebook debugger did not solve anything. I am facing same problem too since 5 or 6 days on my all pages. I think facebook have applied some changes. If you find any solution please let me know. Just a bunch of crap telling you to fix Facebooks problems. For now, we are in the incompetent hands of Facebook Staff.
I am having real trouble sharing to Facebook but only in my last 2 posts. When I share it does not show a title or an image. Any ideas what I can do based on the feedback form Facebook? If you are having weird issues like this, a lot of times it could be that multiple plugins OR the theme you are using are conflicting with each other in trying to establish og: open graph tags. I had a very similar issue and it was my theme. I have found that by manually adding in on yoast the specific photo I want used on facebook to the article itself, this works — but only this method works for me now.
What a pain! Thumbnails are not coming up when i want to share post on Facebook. It shows an empty box with no image. Kindly help out please, am confused and frustrated already. You can check it out at Thank You. So I just downloaded the Yoast plugin for a client and it looks like they have removed the open graph feature from their free plugin — which is a shame! You can add pictures on specific pages and posts, but you used to be able to add a specific image for the home page.
