LinkedIn Post Preview

Compute what actually survives the "…see more" fold. LinkedIn shows roughly the first 210 characters of a post on desktop and around 140 on mobile before truncating — these values are unofficial and approximate, and they vary by device — but the principle is exact: most readers only ever see the amputated version, so that's the version to judge. Line breaks count toward the fold, so a draft that opens with three short lines spends its budget fast.

When to use

• The user has a draft and asks "how will this look?", "does my hook work?", or "what shows before see more?"
• Before any LinkedIn post ships (offer this as the last check)
• After hook or rewrite work, to verify the new opening actually fits above the fold
