How to preview a LinkedIn post before publishing

LinkedIn gives you no preview: you find out how a post renders once it is live in front of your audience. Paste your draft above to see it first. Here is the whole process:

  1. 1Write or paste your post draft into the field above.
  2. 2Switch between mobile, tablet and desktop to see each rendering.
  3. 3Check where the see more fold cuts your text and move your hook above it.
  4. 4Add your link to check the preview card image, title and description.

Where does the LinkedIn see more fold cut a post?

It depends on the device, which is exactly why guessing fails. Mobile cuts earliest, desktop latest. Everything past the fold is only read by people who already decided to click, so the first two lines carry the whole post. The preview marks the cut on each screen size.

How to check a LinkedIn link preview before posting

Drop a URL into the draft and the tool renders the card LinkedIn will generate from the page Open Graph tags: image, title and description. It is the fastest way to catch a missing OG image before the post goes out, when fixing it still costs nothing.

WHY PREVIEW BEFORE YOU POST

See exactly how your LinkedIn post looks before you publish

LinkedIn shows only the first three lines of your post before the "see more" fold. On mobile that fold can hit around 140 characters, on desktop a little later. Publish blind and your hook gets cut in the wrong place, your line breaks collapse, and your best line hides below the fold. A LinkedIn post preview tool removes the guesswork: you see the exact rendering before you hit post.

This free preview tool doubles as a LinkedIn post inspector and viewer. Paste your draft and inspect how it renders on mobile, tablet and desktop in real time. Watch where the "see more" truncation lands, check your character count against the 3,000-character limit, and confirm your emojis, line breaks and hashtags survive LinkedIn's formatting.

It also previews the link preview card LinkedIn builds when you add a URL, so you know how your shared article or landing page will look in the feed. No login, no extension, nothing leaves your browser. Think of it as a WYSIWYG post generator and viewer for LinkedIn: write, preview, fix the hook, then publish with confidence.
