# OG Image Size
An incorrectly sized og:image is displayed poorly or not at all on social platforms—Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn each crop or skip images that don't meet their requirements, resulting in blank or distorted link previews.
## Quick Reference
- og:image should be 1200×630 pixels (1.91:1 aspect ratio)
- Minimum size is 600×315 pixels; smaller images may not display
- File size should stay under 5 MB; under 1 MB is preferred
- Use JPEG or PNG; WebP has limited support on older platforms
## Check
Find the og:image meta tag in <head> and fetch the image URL. Check the image dimensions and file size. Flag if width < 1200px, height < 630px, aspect ratio differs significantly from 1.91:1, or file size exceeds 5 MB.
## Fix
Generate or resize the og:image to exactly 1200×630 pixels. Export as JPEG at 80–85% quality to balance visual quality and file size. Reference the absolute HTTPS URL in the og:image meta tag. Add og:image:width and og:image:height tags to help platforms render the image without downloading it first.
## Explain
Social platforms use og:image to construct the visual card shown when a URL is shared. An image too small may be skipped or shown as a thumbnail. An image with the wrong aspect ratio gets cropped, often cutting off important content. The recommended 1200×630 size ensures optimal display across Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, and iMessage.
## Code Review
Check the og:image meta tag value. Fetch the image and verify: (1) dimensions are at least 1200×630 px, (2) aspect ratio is approximately 1.91:1, (3) file size is under 5 MB, (4) URL is absolute HTTPS, (5) og:image:width and og:image:height tags match actual dimensions. Flag relative URLs or images smaller than 600×315 px.
