Is this preview built specifically for TikTok?

No — it is the same multi-platform post-preview tool as our general preview, arranged so TikTok’s default view and questions are easy to find from a TikTok-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 TikTok exactly, pixel for pixel?

TikTok 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 TikTok 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.

TikTok post preview

This TikTok post preview shows how your caption and image will actually render in TikTok’s own feed, including the point where TikTok cuts the caption off behind "… 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 TikTok and answers TikTok-specific questions below it. Third-party measurement (TikTok does not publish this), checked September 2026.

Reported cutoffs for TikTok vary widely across sources, from roughly 55 to 150 characters depending on screen width and app version — TikTok has never confirmed a number, so treat this figure as a rough estimate rather than a fact.

How to use the TikTok post preview

Paste your TikTok caption. Type or paste your draft TikTok 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 TikTok is selected. This page opens with TikTok 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 TikTok’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.

Worked examples

TikTok’s real truncation point

TikTok’s feed caption shows roughly the first 150 characters before "… more" appears. Reported cutoffs for TikTok vary widely across sources, from roughly 55 to 150 characters depending on screen width and app version — TikTok has never confirmed a number, so treat this figure as a rough estimate rather than a fact.

A caption that survives the cutoff

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