Why is my link image not showing on Facebook?

You might not be seeing the Facebook link preview you want because the info has been cached by Facebook. (Facebook saves the info from URLs and pages that have already been shared, for better performance.) So you just may need to force Facebook to clear the cache.

How do I post a Web image link on Facebook?

Adding Clickable ImagesCopy the URL you want to link the images to your post. All of the valid images on the page will then automatically appear in the post. If there is more than one image on the website page, you will see arrows to the left and right allowing you to scroll through the images.

Can I use photos on the Internet on my Facebook page?

Use Social Media Images Only with Permission Images appearing on social media are no different than any other image you'll find online, in that you must act responsibly and ask for permission. It's common to see people “regram” or embed social media images into their own content, but that doesn't make it legal.

Looks like the question has already been answered here. Here is another useful link. Thanks for asking. It made me find out something I can use.

Update: After trying it and finding it not to work I tried the method in this post. It initially didn't work, but that was because I forgot to upload the image. So it may be the case that the original method may still work. Here's the template I used in my head section:

<meta property="og:title" content="your title">
<meta property="og:description" content="your description">
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.yoursite.com/your-image.jpg">

Update 2: If it seems that Facebook isn't recognizing your code, try their lint tool. This does two things. The obvious one is that it reports any errors in your code. The second is that it refreshes Facebook's cache of the page. I had two pages where the new code wasn't recognized until I did this.
