Show clients the post, not a screenshot

Why a preview changes the review

Most late changes aren’t clients changing their minds. They are clients seeing the post properly for the first time — live, cropped, with the caption cut off after the first line — and noticing what a caption in a cell couldn’t show them. A preview moves that moment to before approval, where a change costs a minute instead of a deleted post.

One preview engine, everywhere

The editor, the client’s review screen and the approval queue all draw the same preview. What your team sees while writing is precisely what the client sees while deciding.

Each network framed its own way

• Each network’s own crop, so a 4:5 image looks different on Instagram and on X — as it will
• The “… more” cut-off at each network’s real limit
• Carousels as swipeable slides, in the order they will publish
• Videos with an automatically chosen cover frame — never a black one
• Location and Instagram collaborators, where the post has them
• Your real follower count once analytics has synced

Click through to the full-size media and each file is shown in its own shape, not the network’s crop — so you can check the original and the framed version side by side.

One caption, or one per network

Write a single caption for every network, or split it and write each one separately — a hashtag-light version for LinkedIn, a shorter one for X, a link-free one for Instagram. Each preview shows its own version, and the checks run on each version against its own network’s rules.

Problems caught while you write

A live check runs against each network’s rules as you type: caption length, hashtag and mention limits, image shape, video length, how many assets a network will actually take. Anything that would be refused at publish time blocks sending; anything a network merely crops or truncates is a heads-up.

The rules are the same ones listed in the post limits guide, and the same ones checked again when a post is submitted — so the preview and the publish can never disagree about what is allowed.
