What is the post preview?

A draft in a text box and a post in the feed look different. Line breaks land in unexpected places, the hook gets cut by 'see more', and what felt punchy in your notes reads flat as a feed card. This tool renders your draft as a LinkedIn-style post so you can see the real thing before you publish.

It runs in your browser with no AI. Paste your draft, and it lays out a feed card with your text formatted the way LinkedIn would show it, including where the 'see more' link appears.

How to use it

  1. Paste or type your post draft into the box.
  2. Watch it render as a LinkedIn feed card on the side.
  3. Adjust your line breaks and hook until the visible part reads well, then copy the final version into LinkedIn.

What the preview lets you catch

The biggest thing it shows is the 'see more' cutoff. LinkedIn hides everything after the first few lines, so the only words that earn a click are the ones above that line. Seeing exactly where the cut falls tells you whether your hook is doing its job or whether your best line is buried below the fold.

It also shows your line breaks the way the feed will. People often write a clean draft with single line breaks that collapse into a wall of text once posted. The preview surfaces that immediately, so you can add space and white room where it helps the eye.

Finally, it gives you a feel for rhythm. A short opening line, a beat of space, then the body reads very differently as a card than as a paragraph in your editor. Looking at the rendered version is the closest thing to seeing the post live without actually posting it and editing in public.

Who it's for

Anyone who cares how a post lands uses a preview before hitting publish, from a marketer finalising a campaign post to a founder checking a personal note reads right. It is the last step before a post goes out, which makes it a natural finish for the posts RightHandMan creates for company pages from a brand's existing website, letting you confirm a ready-made post hooks well before it goes into the queue. Run a length check next to it in the character counter so the post both reads well and fits.

Frequently asked questions

Does the preview post anything to LinkedIn?

No. It only renders a visual mockup of how your draft would look. Nothing is sent or published. The tool runs in your browser, so your draft stays on your device.

How accurate is the see more cutoff?

It mirrors LinkedIn's roughly 210 character cutoff in the desktop feed. Exact wrapping can shift a little between devices and screen sizes, but it gives you a reliable sense of what shows before the click.

Can I preview an image post layout?

This tool focuses on the text card, which is where most hook and line-break problems live. For a fuller visual mockup with profile and image styling, see the post mockup generator.

Why do my line breaks look different in the preview?

LinkedIn collapses some spacing and wraps long lines, so a draft that looks tidy in your editor can read as a block in the feed. The preview shows the real layout so you can fix it before posting.
