Common Questions
Everything you need to know about previewing LinkedIn posts
What is the LinkedIn character limit?
LinkedIn posts can be up to 3,000 characters long. However, only the first 210 characters (approximately) are shown before the 'see more' button on desktop. On mobile, this cutoff is even shorter at around 150 characters.
Why does my post look different on mobile?
LinkedIn's mobile app displays posts differently than the desktop version. The text area is narrower, line breaks appear sooner, and the 'see more' cutoff happens earlier. Our mobile preview mode simulates this experience.
How accurate is the preview?
Our preview replicates LinkedIn's actual post design as closely as possible, including fonts, spacing, reactions, and engagement displays. While LinkedIn may make minor UI updates over time, our preview gives you an accurate representation.
Can I preview posts with images?
Yes! You can upload an image to see how your post will look with visual content. Images affect how much text is visible in the feed, so it's important to preview both together.
What is the 'see more' cutoff?
LinkedIn truncates longer posts to keep feeds readable. On desktop, approximately the first 210 characters are shown, followed by '...see more'. On mobile, this is around 150 characters.
Why should I preview in dark mode?
Many LinkedIn users enable dark mode, which inverts colors and can affect how images, emojis, and text appear. Some content that looks great in light mode may be hard to read in dark mode.
Can I export the preview as an image?
Yes! Click the 'Screenshot' button to download your preview as a PNG file. This is perfect for getting approval from stakeholders or creating mockups.
Is this tool free to use?
Absolutely! Our LinkedIn Post Preview tool is completely free with no signup required. You can preview unlimited posts, test different formats, and export screenshots at no cost.
