# Control Your Social Share Image on Every Post > Choose the exact Open Graph and Twitter/Pinterest share image for every post. Control your WordPress social share image so links look perfect everywhere. - Canonical URL: - Markdown URL: Category: Control feature Pick the exact image that shows when your posts, pages, and products get shared - so every link looks the way you intend, not the way a platform guesses. ## Your Best Content Deserves a Better Preview Here's what happens when you leave the share image to chance. ### Platforms Pick for You With no Open Graph tag, Facebook and LinkedIn grab whatever image they find first - a logo, a sidebar ad, or nothing at all. Impact: Your logo, an ad, or nothing at all ### One Image, Every Network A single fallback can't suit a wide Facebook card, a tall Pinterest pin, and an X post at the same time. Something always looks off. Impact: One size never fits every network ### Weak Links Get Scrolled Past A dull or badly cropped preview kills click-through. The share happened - but nobody clicked. Impact: A bad thumbnail is a wasted share ## How Social Share Images Work Set the preview once in the editor - ThumbPress handles the meta tags. ### Steps 1. **Open** — Open any post, page, or product and find the ThumbPress social share box in the editor. 2. **Choose** — Pick the exact image you want for each network, right from your media library. 3. **Publish** — ThumbPress outputs the correct Open Graph and Twitter tags so every platform shows your image. ### Perfect Every Shared Link Control the image shown on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Pinterest for polished, on-brand sharing. #### Set Social Media Thumbnails Create custom thumbnails for Facebook, LinkedIn, X, and Pinterest so every shared link looks polished, stays on-brand, and attracts more clicks across social platforms. ## Every Share, on Your Terms You decide the preview - and it all runs on your own site. - Set a different image for each network - Correct Open Graph and Twitter card tags - Works for posts, pages, and products - No Yoast or SEO suite required - Runs on your own server, free - Works with any theme or builder ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How do I set a custom Facebook share image? Open the post, set the Open Graph image in the ThumbPress social share box, and update. ThumbPress outputs the og:image tag so Facebook and LinkedIn use exactly that image. ### What is an Open Graph image? The og:image meta tag tells social platforms and chat apps which image to show in a link preview. Without one, they pick whatever they happen to find on the page. ### Do I need Yoast or an SEO plugin? No. ThumbPress sets per-post, per-network share images on its own - no SEO suite required. ### Can I set a different image for X and Pinterest? Yes. You choose a separate image per network - Open Graph for Facebook and LinkedIn, plus dedicated images for X and Pinterest. ### Does it work for WooCommerce products? Yes. ThumbPress outputs the correct share data for products too, so product links preview cleanly when shared. ### Why does Facebook still show my old image? Facebook caches link previews aggressively. Run the URL through Facebook's Sharing Debugger and hit "Scrape Again" to force a refresh - the new image appears immediately after that. ### What size should a social share image be? 1200 x 630 pixels is the safe standard. It satisfies Facebook, LinkedIn and X, and it stays sharp on high-density screens without becoming a heavy download. ### Will it clash with the og:image from my SEO plugin? If two plugins both output an og:image tag, platforms see duplicates and pick unpredictably. Set the share image in one place - either here or in your SEO plugin - rather than both. ### What happens on posts where I have not set one? Nothing is forced. Platforms fall back to whatever else they can find on the page, which is usually the featured image - and if you have auto-set featured image switched on, that is covered too. ## Ready to Own Your Previews?
