The `socialImage` property should contain a link to an image either relative to `quartz/static`, or a full URL. If you have a folder for all your images in `quartz/static/my-images`, an example for `socialImage` could be `"my-images/cover.png"`. Alternatively, you can use a fully qualified URL like `"https://example.com/cover.png"`.
The `socialImage` link respects the `optimizeImages` configuration in [[configuration#General-Configuration|General Configuration]] and is automatically rewritten if web image optimization is turned on.

This plugin parses and rewrites HTML image tags to support image related features. It's currently associated with the following features:
## Web Image Optimization
When `optimizeImages` in [[configuration#General-Configuration|General Configuration]] is set to `true`:
- JPEG and PNG images will be stripped all metadata and converted to WebP format, and associated image links in [[wikilinks]] will be updated with the new file extension.
- A resized preview image will replace every local image that have custom dimensions defined either in their [wikilink](https://help.obsidian.md/syntax#External+images) or <img> tag. The original image (optimized or not) will still be assessable as a link on the preview image.

If an image has custom dimensions set, this plugin registers corresponding preview image spec with the [[Assets]] emitter so that the latter generates an additional preview image that matches the aspect ratio but with a small resolution bump. Note that [[Assets]] never upscales an image, so preview image file sizes are never larger than the originally sized optimized images.
Update the [[Assets]] emitter source code if you want to tweak the image format conversion or/and resizing logic. Here are a few things you could do:
- Make image optimization emit [AVIF](https://caniuse.com/avif) images instead, which is considered a mainstream successor to the [WebP](https://caniuse.com/webp) format, has better compression ratio and image feature sets (such as HDR support), but currently has narrower browser support and may be slower in image processing.
- Enable optimization for animated GIF / GIFV images. Note that animated image processing can be very slow, only use it after testing!
> [!warning]
> If you use image tags with custom dimensions directly in your markdown documents, remember to manually add a `data-slug` property with the [[paths | full slug]] of the image file, otherwise the [[Assets]] emitter won't know which file path to emit the preview image to.
>
> An example supported image tag with custom dimensions:
>
> ```html
> <img href="../../assets/abc.jpg" width="100" data-slug="assets/abc.jpg" />
> ```
The logic to use optimized images in [[CustomOgImages | Custom OG Images]] is separately implemented in the `ogImage` emitter, but is fully transparent to end users.
## Configuration options
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
- `openLinksInNewTab`: (Dependent on [[Images#web-image-optimization|Web Image Optimization]]) If `true`, clicking on a preview image opens the originally sized optimized image in a new tab. Defaults to `false`.
