How to Use the Telegram Post Preview Tool
Start by selecting whether you're previewing a Channel Post or a Group Message — this controls whether the sender header (channel avatar and name) appears inside the bubble. Enter your channel or group name and optional subscriber count; both render in the toolbar at the top of the chat shell, exactly as Telegram shows them. Type or paste your message in the text area — the tool renders Telegram-style text formatting: wrap text in **double asterisks** for bold, __underscores__ for italic, and backticks for inline code. Upload a photo to see it displayed above the message body. Enter a link URL to trigger the link preview card with a title and description you can customise. Build up to six inline buttons by entering labels in the button builder — buttons render as full-width pills inside the bubble below the text. Toggle reactions by clicking the emoji chips; active reactions appear as pill badges below the bubble with counts. Enter a view count and post time to fill the message meta row. Toggle the verified badge, "edited" label and silent notification mode. Switch between Telegram's light and dark chat themes with one click, then hit Screenshot to download the full chat shell as a PNG for content planning, channel audits or team reviews.
Everything in This Telegram Post Preview Tool
Built for Telegram channel owners, community managers, bot developers, content marketers and social media agencies.
Full Telegram Chat Shell
Renders a complete, accurate Telegram chat interface — toolbar with avatar, channel name and subscriber count, the message bubble with all metadata, and the reply input bar at the bottom.
Channel & Group Mode
Switch between Channel Post (with sender header showing channel avatar and name inside the bubble) and Group Message (anonymous bubble) to preview the exact layout for each post type.
Text Formatting Preview
Telegram markdown renders in real time — **bold**, __italic__, `inline code` and spoiler tags all display exactly as Telegram clients render them. Use the formatting toolbar for quick insertion.
Inline Button Builder
Add up to six inline keyboard buttons by entering labels in the button builder. Each label renders as a full-width teal pill inside the message bubble — exactly how Telegram bot inline keyboards appear.
Reactions & View Count
Toggle six reaction emojis (👍❤️🔥🎉😮😢) to see them render as pill badges below the bubble with formatted counts. Set a custom view count and post time for the message meta row.
Dark & Light Mode Preview
Switch between Telegram's white light theme and its signature dark navy theme with one click. Both modes use Telegram's exact colour variables so the preview matches every Telegram client setting.
Tips for Writing High-Performing Telegram Channel Posts
Lead with the Most Important Information
Telegram shows only the first line of a message in the chat list preview. Put your headline, key announcement or value proposition in the very first sentence. Use this preview tool to confirm your opening line is clear and compelling before publishing.
Use Bold and Italic to Create Visual Hierarchy
Telegram supports bold, italic and code formatting natively. Use bold for headlines and key terms, italic for emphasis, and code for technical strings. Preview all formatting here to confirm it renders exactly as intended before the post goes live.
Add One Clear Inline Button per Call to Action
Inline buttons dramatically increase click-through rates compared to plain links in text. Build your button label in the button builder and preview how it renders inside the bubble before sending — ensure the label is specific and action-oriented.
Attach a High-Quality Image to Boost Engagement
Channel posts with photos generate significantly more views and forwards than text-only messages. Upload your image to this preview to see exactly how it fills the media area above the text body at Telegram's actual dimensions.
Keep Messages Concise and Skimmable
Channel subscribers scroll quickly. Use short paragraphs with line breaks, bold key phrases, and bullet points (using — or • dashes). Preview the full message in the chat shell to check readability at the actual bubble width before publishing.
Preview in Dark Mode Before Scheduling
The majority of Telegram's active users prefer dark mode. Toggle the dark preview here to verify that your text formatting, images and inline buttons remain fully legible against Telegram's dark navy background before the post goes live.
