A live, shared content workspace with your clients
The client portal gives you and each client a two-way workspace that updates in real time. Share the content calendar, collect feedback and approvals, and receive the client’s own photo uploads, without losing anything in an email chain.
Handle more clients without hiring more staff
Every client gets a dedicated dashboard with upcoming posts, approval status, recent activity and their brand details, so you can manage more accounts with the same team.
Spend less time on social media admin
Generate on-brand content for every client, schedule across every platform and get approvals done, all in one place.
Why preview a Facebook Story?
Facebook Stories are full-screen, so the platform’s own interface sits on top of your creative rather than beside it. The progress bar and page name cover the top of the frame, the reply bar covers the bottom. Any text placed near either edge is effectively invisible. Previewing the frame with the overlay in place is a ten-second check that saves a reshoot.
What this Facebook Story preview shows you
- Progress bar and page header — Your page name and logo in the top strip of the story.
- Safe zones — Exactly where the interface covers your design at the top and bottom.
- Reply bar — The message bar at the foot of the frame.
- Full-bleed crop — How your creative fills the vertical frame.
How to preview a Facebook Story
Upload your creative, add your page name and logo, then select the FB Stories tab. Confirm your text sits in the central band of the frame and share a link to the mockup if a client needs to sign it off.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Facebook Story?
Facebook Stories are 1080 × 1920 px at a 9:16 vertical ratio — the same dimensions as Instagram Stories, so one creative covers both.
Where do Facebook Stories get cut off?
The progress bar and page name cover roughly the top 250 px and the reply bar covers roughly the bottom 250 px. Keep headlines, logos and calls to action inside the central area.
Can I use the same creative for Facebook and Instagram Stories?
Yes — both use 1080 × 1920 px at 9:16 with similar safe zones. Use the FB Stories and IG Stories tabs to confirm the same file works in both before publishing.
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.
Preview your post on other platforms
Want to generate and schedule content too?
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.
