When you share a link on LinkedIn, LinkedIn shows a preview with an image, a title and the domain. It builds the preview from the Open Graph meta tags of your page.
A good preview makes people stop and click. A bad one, with no image or the wrong title, looks careless and gets scrolled past.
A LinkedIn link preview has:
og:image, shown at 1.91:1.og:title, up to two lines.LinkedIn does not show the description in the feed. Without Open Graph tags, LinkedIn takes the HTML title and any image it finds on the page.
LinkedIn reads the standard Open Graph tags. Add these tags inside the <head> of each page, change the values for each page, and use full URLs.
<meta property="og:title" content="Your page title">
<meta property="og:description" content="A short summary of the page.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.example.com/images/card.jpg">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:image:height" content="627">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.example.com/page">
<meta property="og:type" content="article">
<meta name="author" content="Your Name">og:titleog:descriptionog:imageog:image:width and og:image:heightog:urlog:typewebsite or article.authorThese are the same tags that Facebook reads, so one set of tags works for both networks. The preview tool above shows which tag LinkedIn uses for each field.
Use the right size, and LinkedIn shows your image sharp and without awkward cropping.
| Recommended size | Aspect ratio | Minimum width | Maximum file size | Formats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1200 × 627 px | 1.91:1 | 200 px | 5 MB | JPG, PNG, GIF |
https://. LinkedIn does not read relative paths such as /images/card.jpg.The common problems with LinkedIn link previews, and how to fix them
LinkedIn caches the preview for a URL, usually for about seven days. After you change your tags, open the LinkedIn Post Inspector, enter the URL and click Inspect. LinkedIn then reads the page again and updates the preview for new posts. The Post Inspector needs a LinkedIn login.
The usual causes are:
og:image URL is relative (/images/card.jpg). Use the full URL, with https://.LinkedInBot), for example with hotlink protection or bot protection.LinkedIn shows link images at 1.91:1. An image with a different shape is cropped, and a small image looks blurred or shows as a thumbnail. Use an image of at least 1200 × 627 px. The preview tool above measures your image and warns you when it is smaller.
In the feed, LinkedIn shows only the image, the title and the domain. Facebook and the X summary card show the description, so keep og:description for them, but put the important words in og:title.
LinkedIn uses og:title first, and the HTML <title> only when og:title is missing. Many sites add the site name to <title> but not to og:title, so the two can be different. Preview the URL above: the Tags LinkedIn will use panel shows which tag LinkedIn uses.
Yes. LinkedIn fetches the page with a crawler called LinkedInBot. Make sure that robots.txt, your firewall and your bot protection (for example a challenge page from your CDN) let it through. LinkedIn does not run JavaScript, so the tags must be in the HTML that the server sends.
LinkedIn and Facebook both read Open Graph tags, so one set of tags works for both. X reads its own twitter:* tags first, and Open Graph tags when they are missing. Check each network with our Facebook preview tool and Twitter card preview tool.
This tool needs no login and shows the preview at once, with a list of the tags that LinkedIn uses for each field and the size of your image. The Post Inspector shows the preview that LinkedIn has in its cache, and it is the only way to refresh that cache.
Design one template, and Bannerbear makes a custom preview image for every page of your site, with its own title, author and photo.
On LinkedIn, the image is most of the preview, so a custom image with your title on it gets more clicks than a generic logo. Bannerbear fills your template with the page's data, and gives you an image URL to put in og:image.
