A 400-character description truncated for X
A feed item with a 400-character description is cut to X’s real character limit, ending with an ellipsis at the nearest word boundary rather than mid-word.
RSS to social media: post previewer
Paste RSS or Atom XML and see each item previewed as a social post, its title and description truncated to each platform's real character limit. This cannot fetch a live feed URL directly — a static site has no way around a feed’s CORS restrictions without a backend proxy, which this tool does not have — so paste the feed’s XML content instead of a URL.
Paste the feed’s raw XML — this tool cannot fetch a feed URL directly from the browser (CORS). Nothing you paste is uploaded.
Character limit: 2200
Paste a feed to see each item previewed as a social post.
How to turn RSS to social media posts
- Copy your feed’s raw XML. Open your RSS or Atom feed URL in a browser, view its source, and copy the full XML content.
- Paste the XML into the box. Paste the complete feed document, not just one item, so every entry can be parsed.
- Review the parsed items. Each RSS <item> or Atom <entry> is listed with its title, link and description, oldest formatting stripped out.
- Pick a platform to preview against. Choose a platform to see each item’s description truncated to that platform’s real caption character limit.
- Copy a preview as a starting caption. Use any truncated preview as a first draft, then edit it before you actually post it.
Worked examples
Ten blog posts become ten previews
An RSS feed with 10 <item> entries parses into 10 separate post previews, one per entry, in the order the feed lists them.
RSS to social previewer FAQ
- Why can’t I just paste my feed’s URL?
- A static marketing site cannot fetch another domain’s feed directly in the browser without CORS permission, which most feeds do not grant, and there is no backend proxy here to route around it.
- Where do I get my feed’s raw XML?
- Open the feed URL in a browser tab, then view its page source (or save-as) to copy the underlying XML text.
- Does this tool support both RSS and Atom feeds?
- Yes — it looks for RSS <item> elements first, then falls back to Atom <entry> elements if none are found.
- What character limit does the truncation use?
- The real per-platform caption limit from SkedCast’s own composer data, the same figures used by the caption counter tool.
- Does this tool post anything automatically?
- No — it only previews how an item would look; nothing is published or scheduled from this page.
- Does pasting my feed’s XML upload it anywhere?
- No. Parsing happens entirely in your browser using its own XML parser — nothing is uploaded or sent to a server.
- What if my feed has HTML formatting in the description?
- HTML tags are stripped from the description so the preview shows plain, readable text.
