If you share links on Facebook regularly you’ll probably have run into this issue: when you add a link to your status and it doesn’t load a preview image, leaving just text, which doesn’t look great. This is caused by sharing a link a bit sooner than what Facebook can grab the image from the internet.
But fear not you can fix this (and help Facebook). Simply Google “Facebook Debugger” or “Facebook scraper” and the first link should be the one you’re looking for.
Insert your link you’re wanting to share in the space provided and click “debug” – you might get an error message on your first try, then just click on the button that asks you to collect the new info for that link.
Facebook will go directly to that link and look for it’s meta data (the fundamental data that makes up that link). You’ll now have your image if the post has been created correctly by the author.
No simply reload Facebook and add your link again. Happy sharing!
