Paste your post and see exactly where the “…see more” link cuts it on desktop and mobile.
Your Name
… see more
Write a hook that lands above the cut
- Front-load your strongest line — a bold claim, a question, or a surprising number.
- Keep it under ~140 characters so it works on mobile too.
- Avoid wasting the first line on “I’m excited to share…”.
Style your hook with the Text Formatter and check total length with the Character Counter.
Frequently asked questions
Where does LinkedIn cut off a post?
On desktop, about the first 210 characters of a post show before the “…see more” link. On mobile it is shorter — around 140 characters. The exact point varies slightly with line breaks.
Why does the “see more” cut matter?
Everything above the cut is your “hook”. Readers decide whether to expand or scroll based on it, so your most compelling line should land before “…see more”.
Does this tool change my text?
No. It only previews where the truncation falls. Copy your original text into LinkedIn as normal.
Is it free?
Yes, free with no sign-up, running entirely in your browser.
