How do I edit the image preview when I share my full-page or link in bio form?

When you share your full-page form or link in bio form on social media, in messengers, or in a Slack group, a preview automatically appears.

This preview usually includes:

• An image

• A title

• A short description

By default, Flodesk adds a standard preview. But you can customize it to match your brand and make your link more clickable.

Good news: it only takes a minute.

• You can only edit link previews for Full-page forms and Link in bio forms.

• Inline and popup forms do not have shareable preview links.

Once your form design is finished:

Click the Settings button inside your form builder.

This is where you control:

• Meta image (the preview image)

• Meta title

• Meta description

Click Upload image to add your custom preview image.

This image will appear when your link is shared on:

• Facebook

• Instagram DMs

• LinkedIn

• X (Twitter)

• iMessage

• Slack

• And other platforms

Tip: Choose a clear, eye-catching image with minimal text.

Update the Title field to match your offer.

Keep it short and specific. For example:

• “Free Brand Strategy Guide”

• “Join My Weekly Marketing Emails”

Write a short sentence explaining what people will get.

Example:
“Download the exact checklist I use with my 1:1 clients.”

Go to the Link tab to:

• Edit your form URL (click the pencil icon), or

• Set your Flodesk handle to point to this form

Click Share and copy your link.

You can also:

• Share directly to Facebook, X, Pinterest, or LinkedIn

• Generate a QR code

Already published your form? No problem.

1. Go to your Forms dashboard

2. Hover over the form

3. Click the three dots (…)

4. Select Edit link preview

This takes you directly to the Link preview section.
Update the image, title, or description, then save.

If your new preview isn’t appearing right away, don’t worry.

Social platforms cache (store) link previews. That means:

• They may still show the old preview

• They need time to refresh your metadata

Flodesk does not control this process.

• Wait a little while and try again

• Use a social debugger tool to force a refresh

You can drop your URL into the Facebook debugger to force it to resync metadata: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

If your meta preview is not displayed correctly on LinkedIn, use this debugger to force it to resync metadata: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/

• Use a high-quality image (clear, simple, branded)

• Keep titles short (under 60 characters is ideal)

• Keep descriptions concise (1–2 sentences max)

• Avoid stuffing too many emojis or ALL CAPS

Think of your preview like a mini ad for your form.

No. Only Full-page forms and Link in bio forms have editable share previews because they have public URLs.

Use a horizontal image with a standard social-sharing ratio (e.g., 1200 x 630 px). This helps prevent awkward cropping.

It depends on the platform. Sometimes it updates instantly. Other times it can take several hours. Using a platform’s debugger tool can speed it up.

Messaging apps also cache previews. Try:

• Deleting the message and sending again

• Waiting a few minutes

• Restarting the app

No. Social platforms automatically generate previews from your link metadata. You can customize it, but not disable it entirely.

No. The link preview only changes what people see before they click. It does not affect your form layout or content.

If your goal is to increase clicks and conversions, customizing your link preview is one of the easiest quick wins. A strong image and clear headline can make a big difference.
