How WhatsApp builds a link preview
Tags WhatsApp reads
og:title, og:description, og:image. The image has to be on https.
Image size
1200×630 (1.91:1) works. Keep the file small: WhatsApp reportedly skips images over ~300 KB.
Cache
WhatsApp has no tool to refresh a preview. A new image URL is the surest way to get a new one.
Why doesn’t WhatsApp show my link preview?
Usually the image is missing, not on https, or too heavy — WhatsApp reportedly skips images over ~300 KB. The check above tells you which.
How big can the image be?
Aim for 300 KB or less. A 1200×630 JPG usually fits.
How do I refresh an old preview?
WhatsApp has no refresh tool. Change the image URL, or send the link with a query like ?v=2.
