What is a facebook post preview tool?

A Facebook post preview tool renders your image and caption inside a mock news feed post so you can check the image crop, where the caption truncates behind "See more", and how your page name and profile picture appear. Use it before publishing to catch layout problems no scheduling tool shows you.

Why preview a Facebook post before publishing?

Facebook rarely shows your image the way you designed it. Landscape images get letterboxed on mobile, square images dominate the feed, and anything taller than 4:5 is cropped. Captions are cut off at roughly 125 characters, so a hook buried in the second sentence is invisible to most people scrolling past. Previewing takes ten seconds and catches all three problems before the post is live — or worse, before a client sees it published wrong.

What this Facebook preview shows you

  • Page identityYour business name and logo in the position and size Facebook renders them, so you can check a logo that gets cropped inside the circular avatar.
  • Caption truncationWhere your text stops and the "See more" link takes over, so your hook lands above the fold.
  • Image cropHow your uploaded image is fitted into the feed container at Facebook’s aspect ratio.
  • Engagement barThe Like, Comment and Share row underneath the post, so mockups you send clients look like the real thing.
  • Ad format toggleSwitch to advert mode to add a headline, a call-to-action button and the Sponsored label.

How to preview a Facebook post

Enter your business name and upload your logo on the left. Upload the post image and paste your caption in the middle column. The preview on the right updates live. Toggle between Organic and Advert to check both formats, and use the Share button to send a client a link to the mockup without giving them an account.

Frequently asked questions

How long can a Facebook post caption be?

A Facebook post can technically contain up to 63,206 characters, but only around 125 characters show in the feed before the text is collapsed behind a "See more" link. Put your hook and any call to action in the first line.

What image size should I use for a Facebook post?

Use 1200 × 630 px for landscape or link posts, 1080 × 1080 px for square, and 1080 × 1350 px for portrait. Portrait 4:5 takes up the most vertical space in the mobile feed, which is why it usually performs best for organic reach.

Can I preview a Facebook post without a Facebook account?

Yes. This tool renders a mock Facebook feed post in your browser from the image and caption you provide. You do not need to log in to Facebook, connect a page, or create a Content Manager account.

Are my images stored or published anywhere?

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.

Is the preview tool really free?

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.
