Live previewA practical LinkedIn post guide
Build a LinkedIn post mockup for your next idea.
Preview a career update, company announcement, or design concept with an editable profile, image, and reactions before downloading a finished screenshot.
Set up your profile
Enter a name and a professional headline, such as your role and company. Upload an optional profile photo, or use the default initial avatar. Long names and headlines are shortened visually to fit the header without overlapping the Follow button.
Choose 1st, 2nd, or 3rd+ for the connection degree, or hide it. Show Follow button controls the outlined blue button. Set a post-age label such as less than a minute ago, 2h, or 1d. This label stays fixed and does not advance with the clock.
Visibility changes the small audience icon: Public uses a globe, Connections uses a people icon, and Only me uses a lock. These are visual mockup settings and do not affect a real LinkedIn account.
Write and format the post
Enter up to 3,000 characters. The text field expands as you type, and manual line breaks are preserved. Hashtags and web links appear in LinkedIn blue. They are part of a static image, not clickable links in the downloaded PNG.
Enable Show …see more to choose how many lines remain visible, from 2 to 24. Additional text stays in your draft but is omitted from the rendered card. Disable the setting to show the full post. A name and either text or a photo are required to export.
For a career milestone, describe what changed, share a few concrete lessons, and finish with relevant hashtags. For another social format, try the Facebook Post Generator or X Post Generator.
Add a post image
Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF up to 20 MB using the form or the image area in the live preview. Images are processed locally. Profile photos are resized to a maximum edge of 400 pixels; post photos use up to 1,800 pixels. Animated images become still images.
| Framing | Result |
|---|---|
| Original ratio | Keeps the whole photo at its original aspect ratio |
| Landscape · 16:9 | Center-crops a wide image |
| Square · 1:1 | Center-crops a square image |
| Portrait · 4:5 | Center-crops a taller image |
Changing framing preserves the uploaded source, so you can switch back to Original ratio. Removing a post image restores the upload placeholder in the editor. The placeholder is never included in downloads or clipboard images; a post without a photo exports as a text card. The export dialog shows that finished version.
Customize engagement
Set Reactions, Comments, and Reposts independently. Counts use compact notation, such as 1.5K for 1,500. Select up to three top reactions from Like, Celebrate, Support, Love, Insightful, and Funny. Turn one off before adding a fourth.
Your reaction changes the first action label and its selected color. It does not automatically increase the reaction count. The bottom action row retains the Comment, Repost, and Send icons. These controls are decorative in the final image.
Preview and download
Light and Dark change the post colors. Show device status bar adds the phone time, signal, Wi-Fi, and battery indicators above the profile. Adjust Device time and Battery (%) independently from the post-age label. Disable the status bar for a plain post card.
The cube button toggles an animated 3D view of the live preview. This viewing angle is excluded from the finished PNG and export preview.
The artwork uses Inter independently of the website's interface font. Select Download PNG to open the export panel with settings on the left and the finished post on the right on wider screens.
| Resolution | Export width |
|---|---|
| Standard · 2× | 720 pixels |
| High · 3× | 1,080 pixels |
| Ultra · 4× | 1,440 pixels |
Image height follows the visible post text and photo. The download includes the profile, visible text, optional image, engagement, action bar, and enabled device status bar. It excludes website navigation, editor controls, and upload placeholders. There is no watermark.
Copy image places a PNG at your selected resolution on the clipboard. It requires a supported browser and a secure connection. If copying is unavailable, use Download PNG. Very tall original photos or posts with many line breaks can exceed image limits; choose cropped framing, reduce the visible lines, or lower the resolution.
Drafts and privacy
Auto-save stores the profile, text, both uploaded images, counts, reactions, appearance, and export resolution in this browser. Save draft writes manually. Disabling Auto-save stops automatic writes without deleting an existing draft. Reset restores the example; Undo reset brings back your previous draft during the current visit.
Generator content is processed on your device and does not sync across devices. If browser storage is full or unavailable, your edits remain in memory and the status message explains that they could not be saved. Clear this site's browser storage to delete local drafts. See our privacy policy for hosting and analytics details.
Common questions
Is the LinkedIn Post Generator free?
Yes. Create and download a post mockup without signing up, paying, or adding a watermark.
Does this publish to LinkedIn?
No. It creates a static fictional image and does not connect to LinkedIn or publish real posts. Fake Generator is independent and is not affiliated with LinkedIn or Microsoft.
Why does the downloaded image have no gray image box?
The gray box is an upload control in the editor. Upload a photo to include media, or download the clean text-only card. The export dialog previews exactly which content is included.
Can I show the complete post instead of …see more?
Yes. Disable Show …see more to render all of your text. The exported image grows vertically to fit it.
How should I share mockups?
Use them for design concepts, presentations, or fictional content. Obtain permission for other people's identities and photos, and label mockups when viewers could mistake them for real posts. Follow our responsible use policy.
