Set a Default Image for Products Without a Photo

Woo Open Graph overviewFreeGet Woo Open Graph →

Goal: make sure a shared product always shows an image, even when it has no product photo.

  1. Go to WB Plugins > Open Graph and click the General tab.
  2. Under Image & Content, find Default Social Image.
  3. Click Choose Image, pick or upload an image, and click Use This Image. You can also paste an image address.
  4. Click Save Settings.

A wide image about 1200 by 630 pixels works best.

  • Products with no featured image.
  • Product category pages with no category image, and tag and shop pages.
  • Google structured data for a product with no image (only when the Structured Data switch is on).

If you leave it empty, the WooCommerce placeholder image is used instead.

The same section has Social Image Size: Medium (300x300), Large (1024x1024) or Full Size. This is the size of the product photo used in previews. Large is the default.

Share a product that has no photo using the Facebook Debugger (see Check How a Product Looks When Shared). Your default image appears.
