Tips & best practices
Nail the first 210 characters
LinkedIn truncates posts after roughly 210 characters with a ‘see more’ link. Your hook must be compelling enough to earn that click.
Use line breaks for readability
Formatting every other word makes your post harder to read, not easier. Stick to bolding 1-2 key phrases per paragraph.
Check on mobile. Most users are there
Over 60% of LinkedIn users browse on mobile. Your post may look great on desktop but cramped on a phone.
Check the fold, then post
Paste the full draft
Including line breaks. The fold is the only thing that matters on this page.

Questions
How accurate is the LinkedIn post preview?
Our preview matches LinkedIn’s current feed layout as closely as possible, including font sizes, line spacing, and the ‘see more’ truncation point. We regularly update it to reflect LinkedIn’s latest design changes.
Can I preview LinkedIn carousel posts?
This tool is designed for text posts. For carousel previews, check out our LinkedIn Carousel Preview tool. It lets you upload a PDF and see the exact swipe experience.
Is there a character limit for LinkedIn posts?
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post. Our preview tool handles any length within that limit and shows your total character count so you never exceed it.
Can I preview LinkedIn articles too?
This tool is built for feed posts (the 3,000-character format). LinkedIn articles use a different editor with native formatting. For articles, LinkedIn’s own editor has a built-in preview.
Will my data be saved or shared?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your post text is never sent to any server or stored anywhere. Close the tab and it’s gone.
Does it show how my post looks on mobile?
Yes, you can toggle between desktop and mobile preview to see how your post renders on different devices. This is important since over 60% of LinkedIn traffic comes from mobile.
