22 photos for one LinkedIn post
LinkedIn posts take up to 20 images in SkedCast, so a set of 22 is flagged before publishing: pick the best 20 or split them into two posts.
LinkedIn post preview
This LinkedIn post preview shows how your caption and image will actually render in LinkedIn’s own feed, including the point where LinkedIn cuts the caption off behind "…see more" 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 LinkedIn and answers LinkedIn-specific questions below it. Third-party measurement (LinkedIn does not publish this), checked September 2026.

How do you use the LinkedIn post preview?
- Paste your LinkedIn caption. Type or paste your draft LinkedIn caption into the box; nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.
- 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.
- Confirm LinkedIn is selected. This page opens with LinkedIn selected; switch platforms in the tabs above the preview to compare.
- Read the truncation point. The preview greys out the part of the caption that falls past LinkedIn’s real "more" cutoff, so you can see what a scrolling reader sees before they tap through.
- 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.
What are the LinkedIn rules to know?
LinkedIn crops media to 1:1 in the feed and takes video up to 30 minutes. The limits SkedCast’s composer checks for LinkedIn before a post goes out, read from the same rules table the composer uses.
| Feed crop | 1:1 in the feed preview |
|---|---|
| Images | up to 20 per post · JPEG, PNG, GIF · max 5 MB each · aspect ratio 4:5 to 1.91:1 |
| Video | up to 1 per post · MP4, MOV, WEBM · up to 30 minutes · max 5,120 MB · 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16 recommended |
| Mixing photos and video in one post | Not allowed: one media type per post |
| Alt text | Supported |
| Separate title field | No |
| Text limit | 3,000 characters |
| How length is counted | As you see it: one emoji or accented letter counts as one character |
Good to know
- LinkedIn has no native scheduling — SkedCast schedules and publishes these posts.
- A poll cannot be combined with media — a LinkedIn post carries a poll OR images/video.
- LinkedIn has no Stories, Reels, or threaded posts.
- LinkedIn does not auto-shorten links — a URL counts toward the 3,000-character limit at full length.
- Standard feed posts have no separate title field (only Articles, which are not offered here).
What does it look like in practice?
A 31 minutes video on LinkedIn
It is over the 30 minutes SkedCast checks for LinkedIn, so trim it before scheduling, or post a cut-down version and link to the full one.
LinkedIn’s real truncation point
LinkedIn’s feed post shows roughly the first 140 characters before "…see more" appears. Mobile truncates around 140 characters (or 3 lines, whichever comes first); desktop around 210 characters (or 5 lines). Line breaks count toward the line limit, so a post with several short lines can truncate earlier than the character count alone suggests.
A caption that survives the cutoff
A 320-character caption with its hook in the first 80 characters reads completely for a scrolling LinkedIn viewer even though the rest is hidden behind "…see more".
