Hi!
K2 generates very small images for FB.

Hi Roman,
Here's how to change the Facebook Open Graph image size (note: it requires hacking a K2 file):
1. Open File:
/components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php
2. Find Code:
$facebookImage = 'image'.$params->get('facebookImage', 'Small');
3. Modify Code:
Change "Small" to desired image size.
I hope this helps,
Joe Campbell

Thanks Joseph, but I tried this method before created this topic, and this didn't help me.
I use this code
When I open k2 article and check og:image parameter in html code still displays
_XS - smallest image
I use this code
facebookImage = 'image'.$params->get('facebookImage', 'Large');
When I open k2 article and check og:image parameter in html code still displays
<meta property="og:image" content="http://mysite.com/media/k2/items/cache/daf30d03da42a5291604b3fcca07f0d0_XS.jpg" />
_XS - smallest image

Here's a workaround...
User NoNumber ReReplacer ( www.nonumber.nl/extensions/rereplacer )
to change...
_XS.jpg" />
to
_L.jpg" />
Make sure to use the following "Search Areas" parameter:
Enable in area: Head (not in body)

Actually the size is defined in K2's settings under the Social tab.
The setting is called "Image size to use when posting K2 items on Facebook"

My apologies Roman for not knowing the direct solution - I use Extra Fields for all images (category, item, Facebook, Twitter Cards, etc.)
