Preview the post.
You paste a draft LinkedIn post and see what shows above the see-more fold, on desktop and in the app, before you publish.
Run the preview.
Two previews shaped like the feed show where the fold cuts your draft. Four checks read the mechanics: the first line, the length, the skim, and the hashtags.
What gets previewed
You only get the opening before the see-more cut, so put the point there. The feed shows about the first 210 characters of a post on desktop and about 140 in the app before the see-more cut; the app figure is an estimate we have not measured. The previews mark that boundary on your actual draft.
Those fold positions are approximations: we measured the desktop fold in October 2026, and the fold in the app is an estimate. LinkedIn adjusts them over time, so treat the boundary as a zone rather than a line. An opening that ends well before the cut still works after LinkedIn moves it.
A preview can’t judge whether the post says anything worth tapping for. That is the work our plans do: posts in your voice, every week, approved by you.
The other free tool runs the same way, in your browser: the profile analyzer does for your headline and About section what this page does for a post.
Frequently asked questions
How many characters does LinkedIn show before the see-more cut?
About 210 on desktop and about 140 in the mobile app, an estimate we have not measured. A long line counts as the lines it wraps to, and a line break counts as a line: the fold comes after three lines, or two when the third would be blank. A post caps at 3,000 characters. Those are approximations: we measured the desktop fold in October 2026, and the fold in the app is an estimate. LinkedIn adjusts them over time, which is why the previewer treats the fold as a zone rather than a line.
Why does my post get cut earlier than the character count suggests?
Line breaks. The fold triggers on lines as well as characters: three lines, or two when the third would be blank. A draft that opens with several short lines reaches the cut sooner. The preview cards apply the same rule to your actual draft.
Is my draft uploaded anywhere?
No. The previewer runs in your browser, and we never receive or keep what you paste.
Does the previewer know what the LinkedIn algorithm wants?
No, and we would rather say so than pretend. It measures what can be checked: the fold, the length, and the reading mechanics. Whether a post earns the tap depends on the writing, and no meter can score that.
We can write the posts for you.
If posting is the work you keep putting off, we write your posts every week in your voice, and you approve each week’s batch.
