Download !NEW! Facebook Thumbnail

You should see it has thumbnail now. But every time I post a new link from my website (configured like the above example), the thumbnail won't show up for the first time. I have to refresh, and then the thumbnail shows.

Your Facebook Video thumbnail is especially important when users have autoplay turned off for Facebook videos, and picking the wrong image could seriously jeopardize the outcome of your Facebook video ad campaigns.

This goes against the findings in our previous experiment but when we tested cartoon v face to camera video, the cartoon thumbnail used the AdEspresso mascot. In this experiment, the cartoon image is much more generic and so is unlikely to be as engaging.

The best thumbnail got the most post reactions, this likely contributed to a lower CPM, more impressions then resulted in more clicks even though the clickthrough rate was lower and this, in turn, led to more installs.

Selecting thumbnails should be an important and integral part of the video production process, and we urge any video editor or graphic designer to include a separate thumbnail when sending the video to the advertising team.

When you've spent time creating video content that your target audience will want to watch, you don't want to lose them at the last minute. It would be a shame to put in all of that hard work and see it let down at the last moment by a generic thumbnail without any context. All of this goes a long way to explaining why the videos that consistently outperform the rest on Facebook, nine times out of ten, use a custom thumbnail!

Most of these will have some combination of text, pictures of the "star", and other visual information. For a given channel, the style of the thumbnail will usually be repeated across all of their content.

The thumbnail should have text in it, but it should not dominate the picture. You'll have the chance to post a description when you're putting the video live, so just a few words that connect to the images will be acceptable.

If there is a person in the thumbnail, take a separate photo of them rather than crop a still from the video. Stills are rarely flattering. Some default thumbnails have a picture of the content creator blinking or just starting to speak.

If you are using a thumbnail "cover" template, it's better to keep it minimal. A "busy" background, added to images and text, will make your thumbnail look unprofessional. Stick to one or two colors, a single font, and feature bold lines.

Colorful and easy to digest animated explainer videos are very on-trend at the moment, so to mimic this, consider a thumbnail that is graphic and clear to understand. The vast majority of successful thumbnails at present include the "star" of the video looking at the camera and making a facial expression. If the video is an investigative piece, you should go for a more pensive look.

The idea behind its use in thumbnails is that you separate your picture into a series of rectangles that meet the ratio and position elements in key points as suggested by the edges of the rectangles.

If you are going to appear in your thumbnail, then you have to consider how you will pose. Eye contact is essential. Look straight down the camera, with an expression that is warm and inviting and creates trust.

You should also consider the concept of "negative space". This is the area of a photograph that is not filled by items or text, and it makes up most of a typical photo. How you use negative space can have an impact on a finished thumbnail.

Branding is about more than placing a logo on something: It can be anything that stands for your name and your products. It may be that all your thumbnails are lit using the same colors that are in your logo, or they all feature a mascot character.

Regardless, take some time to decide what your brand is and isn't, and then make sure, every time you make a video for sharing on social media, that you keep the thumbnail on-brand and recognizably yours.

When looking to create unique visual content, there are certainly plenty of options out there. It is beneficial to familiarize yourself with software such as Adobe Lightroom for editing your photos or graphic design software like Vectornator to create custom graphics for your video thumbnail.

Facebook uses og tag and automatically selects the thumbnail for your post. The problem occurs when you have multiple images set in the og:image tag and your featured image happens to be smaller in size compared to the rest of the pictures.

Hi Team, I am facing an issue with AIOSEO. I have followed all the steps mentioned in this article on fixing facebook thumbnail yet the preview links on facebook are still not showing the featured image. Also, I tried debugging also. Kindly help me resolve this issue.

When you share a page on Facebook you usually have the option to choose from a list of thumbnails to display in the post. Sometimes one or more of these thumbnails are perfect for your post, other times they can be completely random.

For new sites that are yet to be scraped or cached by Facebook and for testing, there is a handy tool you can use to force Facebook to update its cache with your website thumbnail. Called the Facebook Linter or more properly the Debugger tool.

Entering your website URL into the tool and pressing Debug will not only force Facebook to re-cache your site but also display what meta information, including thumbnails it has detected.

Here is a screenshot of our site.

Hello, still having a problem when sharing a post from my website with the facebook mobile application. It works correctly when sharing using the mobile chrome but not with the installed facebook app. Any help please or did someone go through the same problem?

I'm still encountering a problem when in this situation: I schedule videos to go public on a certain date. I also schedule posts in facebook that have links to the video. So when I create the post in facebook ahead of time to schedule for later and paste the youtube link, there's no preview (I'm assuming because it's still private in youtube until it goes live later). Then once it goes live at the scheduled time, and my facebook post goes live, it still doesn't have the preview. AFTER everything is live on youtube and facebook, if I do the debugger, it still doesn't update the post. Ideas? See screenshot of debugger showing the preview fine, but facebook still doesn't show it.

Hello, nice article. Unfortunately the suggestion didnt work. Three hours ago I changed the title of my Youtube video. Two hours ago, I also changed the thumbnail. These changes were properly saved in youtube, and if you visit my youtube channel, the new title and thumbnail are visible. However, when I pasted the link of the video into FB, it only showed the new title but it did not show the new thumbnail. Instead, it showed the old thumbnail. I followed the advice of this article and went to FBs debbuger site, pasted the youtube link, pressed Debug, and Scrape Again. However, when I pasted the youtube video link into facebook again, it STILL showed the old thumbnail. What is going on? Perhaps for a follow up to this article, you can add a section on what to do if the debugging and scraping doesnt work, or at least a theory on why this may happen. Thanks.

Other causes of the Facebook link thumbnail not working error are caching issues, problems with the CDN (Content Delivery Network), or another plugin. The error message doesn't specify the exact source of the issue, but it is likely one of those common causes.

There could be more than one reason why your Facebook link thumbnail isn't showing up. One common reason is that the Open Graph tags on your website or web page may be missing or wrong. Also, Facebook might not have crawled your page yet, or there might be a problem with the SSL certificate on your site.

You can try several things if the Facebook link thumbnail preview isn't working, such as refreshing the page, clearing your browser's cache, checking for errors in the Open Graph tags, and using the Facebook Debugger tool to troubleshoot and preview the link thumbnail.

You can change the Open Graph tags on your website or web page if your Facebook link preview shows the wrong image or information. You can also use the Facebook Debugger tool to see how your link thumbnail will look on Facebook and make any changes you need.

Yes, Facebook has rules about link thumbnails. For example, the image should be at least 1200 x 628 pixels, it should be a JPEG, PNG, or GIF file type, and it shouldn't be bigger than 8 MB. The image should also have a ratio of 1.91:1 and any text or logos should be in the middle. ff782bc1db
