Your Headline
A Facebook ad preview tool renders your creative, primary text, headline and call-to-action button as a Sponsored feed ad, so you can review or present the ad before building it in Ads Manager. It requires no ad account, no campaign and no budget.
Ads Manager only shows a preview once you have an ad account, a campaign structure and a draft ad — which is far too much friction for a first client conversation or an internal creative review. This tool renders the same layout in seconds: Sponsored label, primary text with its truncation point, the image, the headline card and the CTA button. It is built for agencies putting concepts in front of a client before any budget is committed.
Enter your business name and logo, upload the ad creative and write your primary text. Set the Post Type toggle to Advert, add a headline and choose a call to action. The preview renders live on the right. Use Share to send the client a link they can review without an account.

Yes. This tool renders the ad layout in your browser from the creative, primary text, headline and CTA you supply. No Meta ad account, campaign or spend is required.
Meta recommends around 125 characters of primary text and 27 characters for the headline, with a 40-character headline maximum. Anything longer risks being truncated in the feed placement.
No — always check the live preview in Ads Manager before a campaign goes live, because it reflects your exact placements. This tool is for the stage before that: concepting, internal review and client sign-off.
No. Your image and caption stay in your browser while you build the preview and nothing is posted to any social network. A preview is only stored on our servers if you click Share, which creates a private link you can send to a client or teammate.
Yes. The social media post preview tool is free and requires no account, no credit card and no sign-up. Nothing you upload is published anywhere. Content Manager is the paid product behind it — a social media management platform for agencies — but the preview tool works on its own.
This preview tool is a free standalone feature of Content Manager — an AI-powered platform built for marketing agencies. With a full account you can generate brand-trained captions using AI, schedule posts across every platform, manage multiple clients from a shared workspace, and get content approved through a built-in client portal. No more copy-pasting between tools.
