How to Use the LinkedIn Post Preview Tool
Start by entering your full name and professional headline — these appear directly below your avatar in the feed card, exactly as LinkedIn renders them. Next, select your connection degree and post type (Text, Image, Article or Document), then type or paste your post content into the editor. The live mockup updates with every keystroke, and #hashtags and @mentions are automatically highlighted in LinkedIn blue. Pay close attention to the "See more" indicator: LinkedIn truncates post text at around 210 characters — any content after that is hidden behind a click. Use the bar counter to keep your hook within that window. Upload a photo to see how it fills the post image slot, or enter a document title to preview a PDF card. Fill in custom reaction, comment and repost counts to simulate real engagement, toggle the Follow button and reactions bar on or off, then hit Screenshot to save a pixel-perfect PNG for client reviews, content calendars or approval workflows.

Tips for Writing High-Performing LinkedIn Posts
Win the "See More" Click with a Strong First Line
LinkedIn shows only about 210 characters before truncating. Your opening sentence must be compelling enough to make connections click "more." Use the preview to verify your hook lands above the cut-off.
Use Short Paragraphs & Line Breaks
Dense walls of text kill engagement on LinkedIn. Write one or two sentences per paragraph, hit Enter between ideas, and check the preview to ensure your post is scannable and easy to read in the feed.
Stick to 3–5 Focused Hashtags
LinkedIn's algorithm responds well to targeted hashtags. Using 3–5 relevant tags — not 20 — signals topical authority. Verify your hashtags render correctly in the preview before posting.
Include an Image or Document for More Reach
Visual posts routinely outperform text-only updates on LinkedIn. Upload your image or select the Document type to preview the PDF card and confirm cropping and layout before publishing.
Stay Within 3,000 Characters for Organic Reach
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters per post. The counter in this tool tracks your character usage in real time with a progress bar so you never accidentally over-write or waste space.
End with a Genuine Question or CTA
Posts that ask a direct question at the end generate significantly more comments. Confirm in the preview that your call-to-action is visible at the bottom of the expanded post without being buried.
