Intro Guide to Image Share Buttons

By July 30, 2018

Welcome to our ShareThis Image Share Buttons Guide! In this post we’ll go step by step on how to implement this awesome share feature and the benefits you can see from it!

The new Image Sharing Buttons feature will allow you to place any share button icons within an image which will empower and influence your audience with the ability to share at a glance notice. When a visitor hovers over an image, the buttons will appear and the user can then click and easily share an image onto their preferred social platform.

To enable image sharing, go to into our Platform dashboard. You’ll then be able to access and turn on the Image Share Button feature within the ShareThis platform underneath the “Share Buttons” section within the left sidebar.
