CodeKitHubWhat Is This Tool?
LinkedIn Post Generator recreates LinkedIn's real feed post layout — including the professional headline line under the name, which is the single most distinctive element of LinkedIn's UI — so you can preview how a post will look before it goes live.
It must never be used to fabricate fraudulent evidence, harass or defame someone, or impersonate a real person's actual posts — doing so may be illegal depending on your jurisdiction.
Everything is generated locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API; nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
Why Use It?
- You just landed a new role and drafted an "excited to announce" post — preview it with your real headline and a realistic reaction count before publishing, so you can judge whether the copy actually reads as confident or comes off as humble-bragging.
- An agency wrote a thought-leadership post for a founder client and needs sign-off on the exact wording and layout before it goes live on the brand's real account — send the mockup image instead of a plain-text doc that doesn't show how it'll actually look.
- You're training new recruiters on what a high-performing outreach post looks like and want a realistic example with a specific headline, connection-degree badge and engagement numbers, without screenshotting someone else's real post without permission.
- You want to see whether your post text will get cut off by LinkedIn's "see more" truncation before the media block, so you can restructure the opening line to hook readers before it snaps away.
- 100% local rendering, no account and no watermark — just type and download.
How to Use
- Set the name, professional headline and connection degree (1st, 2nd or 3rd).
- Type the post text and choose whether to show a media placeholder.
- Adjust the reaction count, comment count and repost count.
- Watch the live preview update, then click "Download PNG" to save the image.

Responsible use
This generator exists to make it easy to create clearly fictional mockup images for client approvals, recruiter outreach previews and thought-leadership drafting. If you share an image made with this tool, consider adding context so viewers understand it is not a real post.
Elements that make a post mockup read as authentic
LinkedIn's feed post layout has a handful of recognizable details that separate it from other platforms. Getting these right is what makes a mockup feel true to the real product instead of a generic social-card template.
| Element | What it signals | Tip for a realistic mockup |
|---|---|---|
| Headline under name | The poster's professional identity and authority | Match it exactly to the real profile if this is a client sign-off mockup |
| Connection-degree badge | How closely the viewer is networked to the poster | 1st-degree connections see posts more often — use it for outreach-preview realism |
| Visibility icon by timestamp | Whether the post is public or connections-only | Public posts get shown to a wider audience, which is worth reflecting in training material |
| Reaction icon mix | The emotional tone of engagement (like, celebrate, support, etc.) | Vary reaction types rather than using a single icon for every post |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal or ethical to use this tool?
The tool itself is legal to use for entertainment, mockups, presentations and design work. What is not legal or ethical is using the generated image to deceive someone. Please only use this for clearly fictional or illustrative purposes.
Does the tool upload my content anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser's memory and is drawn directly onto a canvas element with JavaScript. The PNG is generated and downloaded on your device — nothing is ever sent to a server.
Can I upload a real profile photo?
Yes, you can upload a photo to use as the avatar, or leave it as an automatically generated colored circle with initials.
Why does the headline matter so much on LinkedIn?
The professional headline under the name is LinkedIn's signature layout element — it's the first thing people read after the name, so this generator makes it easy to test different headline phrasing before you use it on your real profile or a post mockup.
What does the connection-degree badge actually mean?
On real LinkedIn, "1st" means you're directly connected, "2nd" means you share a mutual connection, and "3rd" means you're further out in the network. Setting this in the mockup lets you preview how a post looks appearing in different people's feeds relative to the poster.
Can I preview a post without a media image, just text?
Yes — the media placeholder is optional, so you can toggle it off to see exactly how a text-only post looks, which is common for personal updates and thought-leadership writing on LinkedIn.
Does changing the reaction and comment counts affect anything real?
No — those numbers are just mockup fields for the preview image. They have no connection to LinkedIn's platform and don't reflect or influence real engagement in any way.
Can I mock up what a post looks like with very high engagement for a pitch deck?
Yes — set the reaction, comment and repost counts to whatever figures you want to illustrate, which is useful for training slides or case-study decks showing what a well-performing post's numbers might look like.
Is this connected to LinkedIn's real posting API?
No. This tool has no connection to LinkedIn's platform — it only renders a preview image locally. Nothing you type here is published anywhere; you still need to copy your final text into LinkedIn's own post composer to actually publish.
