Applying an image overlay

You can apply an image overlay for your Facebook shares, if you have set one up in your Page settings. Publishers often use this so they can apply their logo or a "breaking news" line to share images.

Why can't I click to add an image overlay on my share?

There are several reasons why image overlay could be unavailable for a given share:

  1. You have not configured image overlay in your settings - make sure you have successfully uploaded the image to be overlaid 
  2. You do not have Facebook domain verification - Facebook does not allow the modification of share images if the page is not linked to a verified domain. Contact Echobox support to get domain verification set up
  3. You are making an AB test and have edited one version of the share - simply turn off AB test to apply the overlay before setting up the test again
  4. The share image aspect ratio isn't supported - we can only apply overlays to share images with an aspect ratio between 1.71 and 2.09, although most Facebook share images fall within this range

If you cannot add an overlay and none of these explain why, please reach out to Echobox support.
