LinkedIn post preview.

See exactly how your post looks before you publish — on desktop and mobile — and where the “…see more” fold cuts your hook. The first ~140 characters are all most people read; this shows you what they’ll see.

Wrong fit, wrong timeline, and I knew it on the first call.
Why the fold matters

Your hook is the whole game.

In the feed, nobody sees your full post first — they see the two or three lines above “…see more” and decide in half a second whether to expand it. A brilliant post with a flat first line dies unread. This preview folds exactly like LinkedIn does, so you can rewrite the opening until the cutoff lands on a cliffhanger instead of a comma.

Desktop & mobile

Toggle between devices — the fold sits in a different place on each, and most of your audience is on mobile, where the cutoff is tighter.

The real cutoff

Folds on lines and characters like LinkedIn actually does, and shows the exact character count of everything above the fold.

Edit live

Change your name, headline, and text and watch the card update. Rewrite the hook until the “…more” lands where you want it.

Straight answers

The fold, the limit, and the hook.

Everything about how LinkedIn truncates a post — and how to beat it.

Where does LinkedIn cut off a post with “…see more”?

It depends on the device. In the feed, LinkedIn shows roughly the first 2 lines (about 140 characters) on mobile and about 3 lines (around 210 characters) on desktop before the “…see more” link — whichever comes first, lines or characters. The exact point shifts with line breaks and word length, which is why this tool folds on both. Everything before that fold is the only part most people read, so it has to earn the click.

What is the LinkedIn post character limit?

A single LinkedIn post (an update) allows up to 3,000 characters. Comments allow 1,250. Your headline allows 220. The counter here tracks the 3,000-character post limit and warns you if you go over.

How do I write a hook that survives the fold?

Put the most interesting line first and keep it under ~140 characters so it shows on every device. Avoid front-loading with a greeting or context — lead with the tension, the result, or the surprising claim. Use a line break early so the “…see more” lands on a cliffhanger rather than mid-sentence. This tool shows you exactly what’s above the fold as you type.

Does the preview match the LinkedIn app exactly?

It’s a close, honest approximation — the same header layout, the same line/character truncation logic, and the real “…more” behaviour. LinkedIn tweaks its rendering over time and exact pixels vary by screen, so treat it as a reliable guide to your hook and length, not a pixel-perfect mock.

Is it free, and is my post private?

Free, no signup, no limits. Everything renders in your browser — your post text, name, and headline never leave your device and aren’t stored. Close the tab and nothing remains.

A great hook,
every week.

Previewing one post is easy. Writing a scroll-stopping one every week, in your voice, is the work Linkvsta does for you — then engages and turns readers into leads.
