# Open Graph image

We recommend one sharing image for every link: 1.91:1 at 1200 x 630 pixels. Facebook and LinkedIn ask for that shape, and X asks for one near 2:1, so we keep text and logos 60 pixels in from the edges.

Platform: Open Graph. Ratio: 1.91:1. Size: 1200 x 630 pixels. These are Avola Media's own recommendations, not platform specifications.

## Specification

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Recommended | 1200 x 630 pixels |
| Minimum | 1200 x 627 pixels, for LinkedIn |
| Safe zone | About 1080 x 510 pixels |
| Shown as | The whole image on Facebook and LinkedIn, a shape near 2:1 on X |
| File size | Up to 5 megabytes |

## Notes

- Set the image in the og:image tag of the page you link to, with the full web address, and add og:image:width and og:image:height so the card shows on the first share. For X, also add the twitter:card tag with the value summary_large_image. Use JPG or PNG.
- The 60 pixel margin is our own rule, because link cards often have rounded corners and X asks for a shape near 2:1. The apps do not publish how they crop, and we have not measured it.
- The apps keep a copy of the image by its web address, so a changed image needs a new address. Facebook says so itself.
- Bluesky uses the same image, see the Bluesky link card.

## Exact areas

All positions are in pixels from the top left corner of the 1200 x 630 pixel frame. A picture that overlaps an edge can have its centre outside the frame.

- Safe zone edge: the SVG path "M60 60H1140V570H60Z", which spans x 60, y 60, 1080 x 510 pixels.
