Why preview before publishing
The LinkedIn composer shows your whole text. The feed does not: it folds the post behind “…see more” after roughly three lines, around 210 characters on desktop and 140 on mobile. Everything below that fold is only read by people who click. Most never do.
That fold is where posts live or die. If your opening line stops mid-idea, or the punch of your hook sits just after the cutoff, the feed shows a broken sentence and people scroll past. Previewing is just checking that the visible part works on its own: a complete idea, a reason to click, no orphan word.
Check both screens. Most of your audience reads LinkedIn on mobile, where the fold comes earliest: a hook that survives the desktop cut can still die on a phone.

Frequently asked questions
Where does LinkedIn cut a post in the feed?
After about three lines: roughly 210 characters on desktop and 140 on mobile. The exact point moves a little with your line breaks and screen width, which is why previewing beats counting.
Do line breaks change the fold?
Yes. LinkedIn folds after three lines even if they are short: three one-word lines get folded like a full paragraph would.
Is this the exact LinkedIn rendering?
It is a faithful approximation of the feed card and its fold. LinkedIn adjusts a few characters by screen width, but the order of magnitude and the three-line rule hold.
Is the tool free?
Yes, no signup. The text stays in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere.
