What image size works best on LinkedIn?

A 1.91:1 image such as 1200 × 627 px fills the link card. Smaller images may show as a small thumbnail.

Why is my description not shown on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn often shows only the image, title, and domain in the feed. The description is still read, so keep it accurate, but do not rely on it being visible.

How do I refresh a LinkedIn preview?

Enter the URL in the LinkedIn Post Inspector. It re-fetches the page and updates the cached card.

Will Google display this exact title and description?

Not necessarily. Search engines can rewrite snippets based on the query and page content. The preview helps you plan clear metadata but cannot guarantee the final search result.

Should the canonical URL be absolute?

Yes. Use the preferred public HTTPS URL for the page, including the correct hostname and path.

Does this tool download or validate my social image?

PostlyBee does not download or validate the image. Your browser loads it from its address so the preview can show it. Validate the deployed image dimensions, format, and availability separately.

Are special characters escaped in the copied HTML?

Yes. The generated title and meta values escape HTML-sensitive characters before they are copied.

Does PostlyBee crawl the URL I enter?

Only when you choose Fetch tags. PostlyBee then downloads that one public HTTPS page to read its title, description, and image tags, and does not store it. Private, local, and internal addresses are blocked. Text you type by hand never leaves your browser.

Practical guide

Make a link look credible in the feed

On LinkedIn a link card is read quickly and judged by its title and image. Write the title like a headline for a professional audience, and use a clean image that still reads at small size.

LinkedIn reads Open Graph tags, so there is nothing LinkedIn-specific to add. Get the og: set right once and it also works for Facebook and most chat apps.

Privacy: Text you type stays in this browser tab. If you import a URL, PostlyBee downloads that public page once to read its tags and does not store it. Your browser loads the preview image directly from its address.

01
Write a headline title
State the value of the page in about 70 characters or fewer.
02
Add the image
Use a public, absolute 1200 × 627 px image URL.
03
Copy and inspect
Add the tags, then refresh the cache with the LinkedIn Post Inspector.

Pro tips

Pro tips for LinkedIn metadata

The title matters most

LinkedIn puts the image and title first, and the description is often not shown in the feed. Make the title carry the meaning on its own.

Use a wide, professional image

A 1.91:1 image at about 1200 × 627 px fills the card. Avoid small text near the edges, since feed layouts crop slightly.

Refresh the cache

LinkedIn caches link data. Run the URL through the Post Inspector to refresh after you change tags.
