Question
Facebook blurry og:image
I can't get facebook to display the image I set in the og:image meta description in high quality. It only appears blurry even though I set it exactly to 1200x630px, and also it doesn't take the latest image I define either. Does it take days to update the new image?

Try passing it through developers.facebook.com/tools…
yes, it shows the same blurry image. It looks fine on mobile, but on Facebook desktop it is just blurry, and I don't know what else I can do.
Original image in the correct size as displayed on Facebook 680x355 (i also tried higher resolutions with the same result):

Down-Resized image by Facebook, which is again increased in the Facebook feed to make it look even worse:

it updated the image now at least, after almost a day.
Yes, use debugger every time you want to update it.
When I want to share the url on Facebook though it still shows me the picture I uploaded yesterday. It has to be cached on Facebook. Probably need to give it a couple of days. I also added og:image:width and og:image:height, hopefully that helps with the blurriness.
Use the query string trick of adding ?asdf or something to the URL of your image and they should re-fetching the newer image.
aye, nice one! thx
