LinkedIn Post Preview
Preview your LinkedIn post before you publish. Check formatting, spacing, images, links, emojis and the “See More” break so you know exactly how your content is likely to appear on desktop and mobile.
Paste your draft, then check the desktop and mobile views before you publish.
Your post
Emojis, hashtags, @mentions, links, blank lines and styled text from the Text Formatter all carry through. Nothing leaves your browser.

- A realistic feed card with your line breaks, spacing, hashtags, @mentions and links
- Where LinkedIn is likely to collapse the post behind “See More”, per device
- Desktop and mobile layouts side by side with the same draft
- Characters used and remaining, estimated lines, paragraphs, emojis, hashtags and links
- Presentation warnings such as a very long opening paragraph or a link that dominates the card
- An optional attached image, previewed entirely in your browser
Frequently asked questions
- Is the preview exact?
- No. It is a close approximation. LinkedIn renders posts differently across devices, apps, and releases, so treat the preview and the “See More” marker as a guide rather than a guarantee.
- Where does LinkedIn cut a post off?
- Around 200 to 210 characters on desktop and noticeably sooner on mobile, roughly 140 characters. LinkedIn also breaks at the end of a line rather than mid-word, which is why the exact point moves with your wording.
- Are my drafts or images stored?
- No. Your text and any image you attach stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
- Does styled text from the Text Formatter work here?
- Yes. Bold, italic and other styled characters are ordinary Unicode text, so they paste in and render in the preview exactly as LinkedIn will show them.
- Why does my post look different on mobile?
- The mobile feed is narrower, so each line holds fewer characters and the post collapses earlier. A hook that fits on desktop can be cut in half on a phone, which is why the two views are worth checking.

Tools That Work Together
What this preview does
It renders your draft inside a LinkedIn-style feed card so you can see the finished shape of the post before you publish: line breaks, blank lines, bullet characters, hashtags, @mentions, links, emojis and an optional attached image.
The aim is functional accuracy rather than a pixel-perfect copy. If a paragraph is too dense, a link swamps the card, or the hook disappears behind “See More”, you will spot it here instead of after you post.
Why formatting matters
Most people meet your post as a small block of text between other posts. Spacing, short paragraphs and a clear first line are what make it readable at a glance, and they are the easiest things to get wrong in a plain composer with no preview.
Checking the layout first also protects your formatting: stray blank lines, broken bullet lists and stacked emoji clusters are far more obvious in a feed card than in an editing box.
How LinkedIn truncates posts
LinkedIn shows the opening of a post and hides the rest behind “See More”. On desktop that break usually arrives after roughly 200 to 210 characters; on mobile it is closer to 140. It also breaks at a line ending, so your own wording shifts the exact point.
That makes the opening lines the part of the post that has to carry the click. The marker in the preview shows the likely break, and expanding it shows what a reader only sees after tapping.
Desktop vs mobile differences
The mobile feed is narrower, so lines wrap sooner, paragraph breaks appear more often and posts collapse earlier. A three-line hook on desktop can become six lines on a phone.
Since most LinkedIn traffic is mobile, it is worth treating the mobile view as the default and the desktop view as the check, rather than the other way round.
