Boost Engagement: Upload Your Social Share Image Now

What Is a Social Share Image?

A social share image is the visual that appears when your website is shared on platforms like Facebook, iMessage, Twitter, and more. It gives viewers an immediate, attractive preview of your site and can help boost engagement. For best results, it’s recommended that your image measures 1200x630 pixels.

How to Upload a Social Share Image in Your CMS

1. Log In and Navigate: Once logged into your CMS and navigated to your publication, go to Settings > Publication Details. Then click edit in the General section. This is where you’ll find the field "Social Share" specifically designed for uploading your social share image.
2. Upload Your Image: Click on the upload button and select your image file from your computer. Make sure your image is ideally 1200x630px to ensure it displays correctly across social platforms.
3. Save and Confirm: After the upload is complete, save your settings. Your CMS should now include the proper metadata (often via an og:image tag) to ensure the image appears when your site is shared.
