Choose Images From Your Post’s Attached Link
When you attach a link to your post, SmarterQueue lets you replace the actionable link preview with images from the webpage. This allows you to select one or more images directly from the link and use them as media for your post, giving you more flexibility and creative control.

Best Practices For Using Images From Attached Links
- Verify Image Rights and Licensing:
- Always ensure you have the right to use an image, especially for commercial purposes. Be mindful of copyright and licensing restrictions. Learn more about content ownership and attribution.
- Check Image Quality:
- SmarterQueue pulls valid JPG and PNG images larger than 64px in width or height. Make sure the selected images are of high quality and suitable for your social media platforms.
- Understand Limitations:
- If no images appear, it may be due to a problem scraping the link or because there are no valid images on the webpage.
- Note that SmarterQueue can only retrieve images that load on the initial page view. Webpages using "lazy loading" techniques may prevent some or all images from being retrieved.
