Why preview your LinkedIn post before publishing
Previewing your LinkedIn post is essential to maximize your audience engagement.
- The LinkedIn algorithm values "see more" clicks, which count approximately 2x more than a like according to studies
- The rendering differs between mobile and desktop: text gets cut off at different points
- A poorly formatted post or with a badly cropped image loses engagement
- 60% of LinkedIn users browse on mobile
How to format a LinkedIn post properly
The formatting of your post plays a crucial role in its visibility and readability.
- 3,000 character limit per post
- "See more" cutoff: ~140 characters on mobile, ~210 characters on desktop
- Recommended image formats: 1200×627 (landscape), 1080×1080 (square), 1080×1350 (portrait)
- The first 2–3 lines are crucial for engagement
- Use line breaks to space out your text
- Bold and italic via Unicode characters, since LinkedIn doesn't support native formatting

Frequently asked questions
FAQ: LinkedIn Post
How many characters before "see more" on LinkedIn?
On desktop, LinkedIn shows approximately 210–220 characters (3 to 5 lines depending on the post type) before the "see more" cutoff. On mobile, it's about 140 characters (2 lines). The cutoff depends on the number of displayed lines, not just the character count.
What is the character limit for a LinkedIn post?
The limit is 3,000 characters for a standard LinkedIn post, including spaces and emojis. For a LinkedIn article, the limit is much higher.
What image size for a LinkedIn post?
The recommended size depends on the format: 1200 × 627 pixels for landscape, 1080 × 1080 pixels for square, and 1080 × 1350 pixels for portrait. Landscape is ideal for link posts, portrait takes up more space in the mobile feed.
How to make bold text on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn doesn't support native formatting in posts. To make text bold, you need to use special Unicode characters. Our preview tool includes a formatting button that automatically converts your text to bold Unicode.
Does LinkedIn cut text differently on mobile and desktop?
Yes. On mobile, LinkedIn shows 2 lines before the "see more" cutoff, regardless of post type. On desktop, posts with images show 3 lines, and text-only posts show 5 lines.
