Set the Facebook preview picture when sharing with AddThis

Is there a way to set the preview picture of the Facebook sharing when you insert the AddThis widget in a HTML page?

If it isn't possible, is there something that I can do in the HTML page that can "suggest" the right preview picture?

Unfortunately, the AddThis widget can't set the image that is used in the preview by Facebook. Facebook scrapes the page and looks for og:image tag on the page you're trying to share. So if you want to "suggest" which image Facebook should use, just specify the following:

<meta property="og:image" content="[LINK_TO_IMAGE]"/>

You can read more about how to use other meta tags with Facebook here:

Good luck
