Why Your Images Are Failing in Google Discover
Getting traffic from Google Discover isn't just about writing great content; it is heavily reliant on technical image optimization. If your images are not appearing in the Discover feed, it usually comes down to three technical failures: incorrect dimensions, missing meta tags, or slow loading speeds.
Google officially states that your featured image must be at least 1200 pixels wide and should be enabled via the max-image-preview:large robots meta tag. Our Free Google Discover Image Optimizer fixes all these issues automatically right inside your browser without uploading your files to an external server.
Optimal Settings for Blogger & WordPress
- Perfect Aspect Ratio: Always use a 16:9 aspect ratio (e.g., 1200x675 or 1280x720) to prevent awkward cropping on mobile devices.
- Next-Gen Format: Convert your bulky PNGs and JPEGs into WebP format. This reduces file size by up to 80%, ensuring lightning-fast mobile loads.
- Robots Meta Tag: Ensure your website's
<head>contains<meta name="robots" content="max-image-preview:large">.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the perfect Google Discover image size?
Google officially requires large images to be at least 1200 px wide. For the best aspect ratio that prevents awkward cropping in the Discover feed, we strongly recommend a 16:9 ratio, specifically 1200x675 pixels or 1280x720 pixels.
Why is my Web Story image not showing in Discover?
There are three common reasons: 1) The image is smaller than 1200px wide. 2) The page is missing the 'max-image-preview:large' meta tag. 3) The image file size is too large causing slow loading. Using our optimizer ensures your image meets all these technical requirements.
How do I add max-image-preview:large in Blogger?
In Blogger, you need to edit your Theme HTML and add <meta name="robots" content="max-image-preview:large"> inside the <head> section. This gives Google permission to display your high-quality images in the Discover feed.
Is WebP better than JPEG for Google Discover?
Yes, WebP provides superior compression compared to JPEG, meaning your 1200px wide image will load much faster on mobile devices. Fast loading speed (Core Web Vitals) is a crucial ranking factor for Google Discover.
