Why should I preview posts before publishing?

Previewing catches formatting errors, awkward character cut-offs, and poor image cropping before your audience sees them. This can reduce post deletion rates by up to 25% and improve first-impression engagement.

Which platforms can I preview?

You can preview posts for Instagram (feed), TikTok (video overlay), LinkedIn (feed), and X (tweet). Each mockup replicates the exact layout, fonts, and UI elements of the platform.

Does the previewer show the 'See More' cut-off?

Yes. For Instagram and LinkedIn, the preview shows exactly where your caption gets truncated and the 'See More' or '...more' button appears, so you can front-load your most important message.

Can I preview video content?

You can upload a video thumbnail or frame to see how it will look in the feed. For TikTok, the previewer shows how your caption and hashtags overlay on the video screen.

Is my content stored or shared?

No. All content is processed locally in your browser. Your text and images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere.

How accurate is the TikTok preview?

The TikTok preview shows the standard UI overlay including username, caption area, and action buttons. This helps you identify if important visual content will be hidden behind interface elements.

Can I use this tool for Instagram Reels or Stories?

The current preview is optimized for feed posts. For Reels and Stories, the aspect ratios differ (9:16 vertical), but you can still check how your caption text and hashtags will appear.

Mobile Preview Character Validation

Why you need to preview posts

First impressions on social media are purely visual. If your hook is hidden behind a "See More" button, or your image is cropped poorly, your engagement will suffer.

Validate the "See More" cut-off point for LinkedIn.
Check how Instagram crops your 4:5 images in the feed.
Ensure your TikTok caption doesn't cover vital video content.

The "Safe Zone" Rule

On platforms like TikTok and Reels, the UI (username, music tag, like buttons) covers almost 30% of the screen. Our previewer helps you stay in the "Safe Zone" so your content is always readable.

"Using a preview tool can reduce post deletion rates by **25%** because you catch formatting errors before they go live."
