How to generate preview of any URL with thumbnail[the way facebook does]

I am very new to asp.net and I have got a task in which I have to generate preview of an URL exactly the same way facebook does.
I read an article How are Facebook and Google creating link previews which helped me to understand the basics of URL preview like facebook. I also used HTML AGILITY PACK from which I was able to fetch the TITLE & DESCRIPTION of an URL.
But I am unable to generate image thumbnails the way facebook does. Can anyone please help me in getting this done. I am developing this application in C#.
