    All About Featured Images

    Find full guidelines in our image optimization guide.

    • Featured images are not meant to be displayed in the post itself
    • Should be square
    • Upload at minimum 1200x1200 px
    • Should have a file name that matches the recipe on the page
    • When a modern recipe card is used on a page, Google will use the recipe card image for search engine listings

    • The Featured Image is used for article schema, output by Yoast
    • Troubleshooting Featured Images
    • You can add featured images to categories using the Feast Plugin: Simple Category Index

    The setting to set the featured image in the classic editor and block editor is located on the right-hand side and looks like this:
