Where your image gets cropped
X shows large cards at 2 : 1, so it trims the top and bottom of a 1.91 : 1 image. Some apps show a square thumbnail from the center. Keep the title and logo inside the safe zone.
- Text inside the middle 80% of the width
- Nothing important in the top and bottom 5%
- Logo away from the corners
Tell apps the size
Add width and height tags so apps can lay out the card before the image loads. Use an absolute https URL.
<meta property="og:image" content="https://yoursite.com/og/page.png" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />Is 1200 × 630 still right in 2026?
Yes. It’s the size Facebook recommends and it displays well on X, LinkedIn, Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage.
PNG or JPG?
PNG for flat graphics and text, JPG for photos. Keep the file under 1 MB — some apps skip big images.
Can I use one image for X and Facebook?
Yes. X uses og:image when twitter:image is missing; keep text away from the top and bottom edges.
Does the image size affect SEO?
Not rankings directly. It affects how links look in social apps and chats, which affects clicks.
