    Hi there!

    The form link captures the first image in the form. I am assuming there is no image field at the start of your form. Please add an image field and add the image you want the link to capture. You can also hide the image field if you don't want to show it to the form users.

    I hope this helps. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

    Where would I add the image? In the header?
    Also, is there any way to change the image that appears in the email title.
    It’s a little circle next to the email

    I assume you are referring to this form, https://www.jotform.com/form/210134607892151.

    If yes, since this is a Card Form, please see the guide below on how to add your logo which will be used as a thumbnail when sharing your form:

    Meanwhile, note that you can customize the email template, please see this guide to do so:

    Thank you for the additional information.

    It seems that you are referring to the favicon on the form's link. Unfortunately, it is not possible to change it directly on the form builder. But you can refer to my colleague's answer (Mike_G) on this ticket: https://www.jotform.com/answers/1334301-How-to-change-the-logo-in-direct-link-to-our-business-logo

    Please do let us know if you need further assistance.

    hello. I am not referring to the favicon.. The favicon is the little icon next to the web address found on the address bar.. 1612965447 6023e647ddb0f favicon Screenshot 10

    I am referring to when you text the link to someone.. the image that pops up.. see this text thread picture. NOtice when i text my website link, the image of the desert and sunset pops up. When i text the JOTFORM link to a form.. the jotform image of the pencil pops up.. I want to change the pencil to my own image..

    Greetings.

    I have tested your form in Messenger, and the image from your form is shown:

    According to the following Facebook article, link images and other data such as title are renewed every 30 days:
    https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/getting-started/change-link/

    However, you can use a different link that will force Facebook to download the image again. Please try sharing using one of the following:

    Let us know if these work.
