Provided og:image is not big enough

Since some days I'm experiencing this problem.

Here is my debug

The image provided is bigger than 200x200 px, it has unique link and there is any redirection on that page.

Linter response is 200.

When I copy and past page's link on fb it give me the choice between 3 images that are smaller than 200x200px and the one I've provided is ignored.

But If I try to share it through "Like button" or "Send button" it works fine.

It sounds like a fb Bug.

Thx

What size should OG images be?

OG Images are the first thing viewers will see when your webpage is shared on social media. OG Image Size: The recommended size for an OG Image is 1.91:1. The recommended pixel dimensions of 1200:630 px (aspect ratio of 1.91:1).

Is og image width required?

The minimum requirement for an OG image on Facebook is 200 by 200 pixels. The landscape rectangle (1200 × 630 pixels) looks great on Facebook shares and is considered the optimal size for an open graph image. When your OG image is less than 600 pixels in width on Facebook, your posts display on the feed differently.

What does this mean the OG image property should be explicitly provided even if a value can be inferred from other tags?

Inferred Property The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. If you do not have the Open Graph tags specified, then Facebook will only fill in the gaps for the image, title, and description.

What is og in meta tag?

Open Graph meta tags are snippets of code that control how URLs are displayed when shared on social media. They're part of Facebook's Open Graph protocol and are also used by other social media sites, including LinkedIn and Twitter (if Twitter Cards are absent).

I solved using informations from this and this posts.

You can try using an image that is bigger than 200x200, with dimensions multiple of 100, and squared.

Other useful stuffs are using jpg extension, host the image in the same server of the website and avoid any "strange" chars in filename.
