LinkedIn doesn't recognise og:image

I'm really struggling to get LinkedIn to recognise an og:image. My og tags look like this:

<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="My title here" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.example.com/some-page" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Description here" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.example.com/og-image.png" />

So far I've tried:

  • checking the og:url matches the current page
  • checking the image exists
  • adding prefixprefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#" to my HTML tag
  • changing that prefix to prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# website: http://ogp.me/ns/website#"
  • checking the site's SSL settings (as per Share on LinkedIn with og)
  • ensuring my image is at least 1200x672px
  • ensuring my image is under 5MB

I'm not sure what else there is to try. Any ideas?

Aha – just tried making it a JPG rather than PNG and LinkedIn now sees it. That's kind of shocking but hopefully that'll help someone else!
