i have put og:image tag on my website. but when i share link on facebook it goes good for images which are greater than 200px but for images less than 200px facebook gives error of minimum size. How can we correctly share images which are less than 200px the minimum size of facebook??
It won't work properly . read more here at facebook sharing best practises . also read the discussion on this stack overflow thread.
Small og:image: All the images referenced by og:image should be at
least 200px in both dimensions, with 1500x1500 preferred. (Maximum
image size is 5MB.) Please check all the images with tag og:image in
the given url and ensure that it meets the recommended specification.
og:image should be larger: Provided og:image is not big enough. Please
use an image that's at least 200x200 and preferably 1500x1500.
(Maximum image size is 5MB.) Image ... will be used instead.

facebook debugger gives me Provided og:image URL, https://covid2019.cf/images/searchwilaya.png was not valid because it did not meet the minimum size constraint of 200px by 200px.
even tho my picture is 615w 330h.
any ideas why this is happening?
I am using AddThis-Facebook Share feature in my website but somehow the image that I defined in the meta width and height is not being pulled over to Facebook. The image size is smaller when appearing in the Facebook Share window. I have used the Facebook Debugger and the height and width are indeed stated. May I know how do I get the same size as what I have defined in the meta tag to appear in the Share?

Appreciate anyone who can advise.
I have defined an OpenGraph image at my site (url: https://www.psychotherapiepraxis.at/pt-forum/ ), but the Facebook Object Debugger tells me
og:image was not defined, could not be downloaded or was not big
enough. Please define a chosen image using the og:image metatag, and
use an image that's at least 200x200px and is accessible from Facebook
As the image is 500x500px, I really wonder why it doesn't work? The image should also be accessible for Bots and displays fine if its URL is entered directly into the browser. Any clue on why it isn't accepted?
I refreshed the data in the debugger and the error message is gone, but still:
Use images that are at least 1200 x 630 pixels for the best display on high resolution devices. At the minimum, you should use images that are 600 x 315 pixels to display link page posts with larger images.
...
Try to keep your images as close to 1.91:1 aspect ratio as possible to display the full image in News Feed without any cropping.

When sharing a link with thumbnail images on timeline or news feed, usually regardless of the original image size ( however small), Facebook resets the images to something else that many times only half of the image is displayed or if entire image is displayed it is re-sized and as a result gets blurred! so what is this magic size to which we can set our website thumbnail images so that they don't get resided or degraded when shared on Facebook?100X100? 93X97?
It has to be at least 200px in each dimension. Here is a link at which you can enter your website link for validation to see what the problems are: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/
Facebook wants an og:image to be at least 200px on a a side, and with an aspect ratio smaller than 3:1. There is no maximum size for images.
I am using https://graph.facebook.com/" + FB_id + "/feed as the target for a post to publish to the feed of a user as described here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ (search for "Publishing" section).
The picture parameter is described here:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/
But I was unable to find what is the recommended image size to be used when publishing like this.
I know the Image is displayed on both the user's own time-line and an hid friends' feeds and it would seem like they are differently sized in those two places.
So, What are the recommended picture dimensions when posting to Facebook Feed via the API Grpah ?
Facebook recommends a photo size of at least 200px on a side, and an aspect ratio of no greater than 3:1. The maximum largest dimension for a photo is 960px.
The current recommendation for optimizing images in the feed, including image size, are on the Sharing Best Practices for Websites & Mobile Apps documentation page.
Optimize your image sizes to generate great previews
Use images that are at least 1200 x 630 pixels for the best display on
high resolution devices. At the minimum, you should use images that
are 600 x 315 pixels to display link page posts with larger images.
Small Images
If your image is smaller than 600 x 315 px, it will still display in
the link page post, but the size will be much smaller.
We've also redesigned link page posts so that the aspect ratio for
images is the same across desktop and mobile News Feed. Try to keep
your images as close to 1.91:1 aspect ratio as possible to display the
full image in News Feed without any cropping.
Game Apps Images
There are two different image sizes to use for game apps:
Open Graph Stories Images appear in a square format. Image ratios for
these apps should be 600 x 600 px. Non-open Graph Stories Images
appear in a rectangular format. You should use a 1.91:1 image ratio,
such as 600 x 314 px.
