how to assign thumbnail image to link to website page

How do I assign a thumbnail image to my website or website page? When I shared a link to a page on my website on Facebook, the thumbnail that appears is currently not an image, but a partially legible statement.

Thank you so much, the instructions were easy to understand, and I was able to assign my image to the URL for Facebook!

To create a thumbnail image in a Homestead website, you can use the Image Settings option to make an image a thumbnail:

Click Websites Manager in the left navigation menu
Click Edit Site
Click Insert in the top toolbar
Select Image from the drop-down menu
Choose an image
Drag the image to the desired location on the page
Use the Image Settings on the right to adjust the image
Select Make Thumbnail
Save and publish the website

A thumbnail is a small image that represents a larger image. Thumbnails are used to make it easier to manage and look at a group of larger images.

@russell5607 thank you for taking the time to reply and for your instructions. However, this is not the issue. When I share a link to my website on social media, the URL should post with a thumbnail image. If I share the link to my homepage, it will show the image I chose. However, if I try to share a link to a specific html, I don’t get an image I chose, but an image of just the actual URL. (I tried to upload photo examples, but they are not loading.)

@jamie9304 What is your website platform? What is your website address?

This should work for SB+ platforms:

@russell5607 yes, her link gave the code to input and explained how to edit the code and insert your personal domain name and image name. It worked perfectly on a FB post.

CLARIFICATION: the issue is assigning a thumbnail to a html URL for sharing on social media.
