# Setting Your Social Share Image or Changing the Course Card Preview Image

Customize your Course Card Preview Image for social sharing applications

The course header image you add to your course’s _Overview_ page has a lot of (awesome) visual real estate. Because of that, it's not the best image to use on the _Course Card_ (what you see on your dashboard of courses in your [_Teach_](https://www.teachery.co/teach) page and what customers will see on their [_Learn_](https://www.teachery.co/learn) page) and it's not always the best for social sharing applications like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Having a dedicated preview image gives you the flexibility to customize the _Course Card_ while keeping your awesome header image untouched.

> **Info:** _Course Card_ preview images should be uploaded at the size of 1200px (wide) by 630px (tall). This is the 1.91:1 aspect ratio that works the best!

Adding or changing the _Course Card_ preview image could not be easier!

1.  Click the gear icon inside the _Course Card_, beside the course name.

## 🧐 Preview your Course URLs on Social Platforms

The most reliable social sharing image test is the [Facebook Sharing Debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/). Add your Teachery Course URL (main Overview page). You can also use [Social Share Preview](https://socialsharepreview.com/) for X, Linkedin, etc but it’s not 100% reliable.

> **Info:** If you're adding a new Course Card Preview Image in Teachery, **it can take 2-3 minutes** for the image to refresh in Sharing Debugger.

## 🚨 Share Image Not Working on FB/Meta?

FB/Meta will cache the social share image and they may cache the default Teachery version. To force FB/Meta to "re-scrape" the image, use [https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/), enter your main Course URL from Teachery, click Debug.

**If don't see the correct social share image**, click the "**Scrape Again**" button to pull in the new image.

If you've JUST changed the image in Teachery, it can take FB/Meta's debug tool up to an hour to see the new image from Teachery.
