LinkedIn Post Previewer
LinkedIn posts can look different depending on the device and display mode. This free previewer lets you see exactly how your post will appear in the feed before you publish. Enter your content, add your name and avatar, and toggle between mobile and desktop, light and dark mode to catch formatting issues early.
Tips for Previewing LinkedIn Posts
- Always check both mobile and desktop views — line breaks and text length look different on smaller screens.
- Test dark mode if your audience browses LinkedIn at night. Colors and contrast can shift.
- Watch your character count. LinkedIn truncates posts after about 210 characters on mobile with a "...see more" link.
- Add your real name and headline to see how the full post card looks, not just the content.
- Paste your final draft, not a rough version. Spacing, emoji, and line breaks all affect how the post reads in the feed.
