Bluesky post preview

This Bluesky post preview shows how your caption and image will actually render in Bluesky’s own feed, including the point where Bluesky cuts the caption off behind "a "more" control" and a reader has to tap to read the rest. It is the exact same preview engine as our general social media post preview tool — this page just defaults to Bluesky and answers Bluesky-specific questions below it. Bluesky composer behavior, checked September 2026.

Platform

Bluesky does not appear to truncate a post in the feed behind a "more" control — like X, its composer simply refuses text past the network's 300-grapheme limit, so whatever fits is shown in full. No third-party measurement of a separate feed cutoff was found.

We just shipped a big update to how bulk imports work. Here's a quick look at what changed and why it makes scheduling a month of content faster than before. Let us know what you think!

This platform does not truncate the caption in the feed.

How to use the Bluesky post preview

  1. Paste your Bluesky caption. Type or paste your draft Bluesky caption into the box; nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.
  2. Add an image URL (optional). Paste a public image URL to see it in the mockup frame, or leave it blank to preview the caption alone.
  3. Confirm Bluesky is selected. This page opens with Bluesky selected; switch platforms in the tabs above the preview to compare.
  4. Read the truncation point. The preview greys out the part of the caption that falls past Bluesky’s real "more" cutoff, so you can see what a scrolling reader sees before they tap through.
  5. Move your hook earlier if it is cut off. If your key message or call to action falls in the greyed-out part, move it earlier in the caption so it survives the cutoff.

Worked examples

Bluesky’s real truncation point

Bluesky does not appear to truncate a post in the feed behind a "more" control — like X, its composer simply refuses text past the network's 300-grapheme limit, so whatever fits is shown in full. No third-party measurement of a separate feed cutoff was found. Bluesky’s 300-character composer limit is the only ceiling that applies — there is no separate feed truncation point.

A caption that survives the cutoff

A 320-character caption with its hook in the first 80 characters reads completely for a scrolling Bluesky viewer even though the rest is hidden behind "the limit".

Bluesky post preview FAQ

Where does Bluesky cut off a caption?
Bluesky does not appear to truncate a post in the feed behind a "more" control — like X, its composer simply refuses text past the network's 300-grapheme limit, so whatever fits is shown in full. No third-party measurement of a separate feed cutoff was found. Bluesky’s 300-character composer limit is the only ceiling that applies — there is no separate feed truncation point.
Is this preview built specifically for Bluesky?
No — it is the same multi-platform post-preview tool as our general preview, arranged so Bluesky’s default view and questions are easy to find from a Bluesky-specific search.
Does the preview upload or store my caption or image?
No, the preview renders entirely in your browser from the text and image URL you provide; nothing is uploaded, saved, or sent to a server.
Does this preview match Bluesky exactly, pixel for pixel?
Bluesky does not publish its own truncation rules, so the cutoff shown here is a third-party measurement rather than an official figure, and can shift with app version, screen width and device. Treat it as a close estimate, not a pixel-perfect render.
Can I preview the same caption on other platforms too?
Yes, use the platform tabs above the preview to see the identical caption rendered against every other platform this tool supports, without retyping it.
Why does my caption look different in the real Bluesky app?
Font rendering, line-wrapping and the exact truncation point can vary by device and app version; this preview approximates the layout closely but is not pixel-identical to every device.
