When your short link is pasted into WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, X or Slack, those apps show a preview card. By default the card uses the destination page's own title, description and image. You can override it.
- Open the link → Edit → Social preview.
- Enter a title (up to 70 characters), description (up to 200 characters) and upload an image (1200 × 630 px recommended, JPG or PNG, under 2 MB).
- Use Preview to see how WhatsApp, Instagram and X will render it. Save.
Troubleshooting
- Old preview still showing: messaging apps cache previews. Use the platform's debugger (for example Meta's Sharing Debugger or LinkedIn's Post Inspector) to refresh, or append a parameter such as
?v=2when sharing. - WhatsApp shows the preview but counts a click: WhatsApp fetches the link to build the card; we label that fetch as a bot, so it is excluded from your human click count.
