Can I upload my own image instead of Facebook auto-generating a preview?

Yes — you upload your own custom thumbnail image. This gives you full control over what users see in their feed, unlike regular link posts where Facebook scrapes a preview from the URL automatically.

What does the play button overlay do?

It adds a fake play button icon on top of your image, making the post look like a video. Users click expecting to watch a video and instead get redirected to your link. This dramatically increases click-through rates compared to standard link posts.

Can I customize the title, description, and website label?

Yes — every text element is fully customizable. You set the headline title, the description text below it, and the website domain placeholder (e.g. 'yourbrand.com'). Facebook displays exactly what you type with no auto-scraping.

Does this work on any page I manage?

Yes — select any Facebook page you have admin access to from the page selector. The custom link card post publishes directly to that page's timeline.

What kind of links can I use as the destination URL?

Any URL works — your website, landing page, affiliate link, product page, or external URL. When someone clicks anywhere on the card image or title, they go directly to your destination link.
