To change the default icon image for social media sharing on your Webflow website, you can follow these steps:

  1. Upload the desired image: First, make sure you have the icon image you want to use already saved on your computer. If you haven't done so already, upload the image to your Webflow project's Asset Manager by going to the Designer and clicking on the "Assets" tab.

  2. Set the image as the Open Graph image: Webflow uses Open Graph tags to specify which image should be used when sharing your website on social media platforms. To set your desired image as the Open Graph image, go to the Webflow Designer and click on the "Pages" tab. Select the page you want to edit and click on the "Settings" tab on the right-hand panel.

  3. Customize the Open Graph settings: Within the "Settings" tab, scroll down until you find the "Open Graph Settings" section. Here you will see a field labeled "Open Graph Image". Click on the "Choose Image" button next to the field and select the image you uploaded in step 1 from the Asset Manager.

  4. Update the site: After selecting the desired image, hit the "Save" button to save your changes. Remember to publish your website for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you can change the default icon image for social media sharing on your Webflow website. When someone shares your website on platforms like Facebook or Twitter, the specified image will be used as the default icon.
