LinkedIn mockups for the professional crowd
Here’s a scenario you’ve probably lived: your marketing team needs to show the CEO what the company’s LinkedIn announcement will look like before it goes live. You could take a screenshot of a competitor’s post and squint, or you could build an exact mockup with your own content in thirty seconds.
This tool renders LinkedIn’s post format on canvas. Name, headline, connection degree, post text, reaction icons, reaction count, comment count, repost count, the whole nine yards. Light and dark mode. Download as PNG. Done.
Looks like the real LinkedIn feed
The mockup captures LinkedIn’s distinct professional aesthetic. Profile picture (circular). Name in bold, headline underneath in gray, connection degree and timestamp next to it. The three-dot menu in the corner. Post text with proper word wrapping below.
At the bottom, you get LinkedIn’s signature reaction bar: the overlapping colored circles for Like (blue thumbs up), Celebrate (green hands), and Love (orange heart). Total reaction count, then comment and repost numbers separated by dots. The Like, Comment, Repost, and Send action buttons complete the layout.
Dark mode follows LinkedIn’s actual dark theme colors. Every pixel matches what you’d see scrolling your real feed.
Who benefits from this
Corporate communications teams. Preview company announcements before they’re published. Get executive approval on the visual presentation, not just the copy.
B2B marketers. Client decks for LinkedIn ad campaigns need mockups. This is faster than Figma or Canva templates and more accurate than screenshots from other accounts.
Personal brand builders. Planning your thought leadership content? See how your posts will look with different engagement numbers. It helps you visualize the impact.
Job seekers and career coaches. Create examples of strong LinkedIn posts for workshops and training materials. Real-world visuals teach better than abstract advice.
PR agencies. When pitching social media strategies to corporate clients, a realistic LinkedIn mockup in the proposal shows professionalism and attention to detail.
Getting the numbers right
LinkedIn shows reaction counts as plain numbers with commas (“1,243”), not abbreviated like Twitter. Comments and reposts also use full numbers. The connection degree badge (“1st”, “2nd”, “3rd+”) appears next to the name. Timestamps look like “3h”, “2d”, “1w”, or exact dates for older posts.
For the headline, keep it under one line if possible. LinkedIn truncates long headlines with an ellipsis in the feed view. Something like “Senior Product Manager at Acme Corp” is typical.
FAQ
Does this connect to my LinkedIn account?
Not even a little. Everything renders locally in your browser using Canvas API. No LinkedIn login, no API, no data sent anywhere.
Can I customize the reaction types?
The mockup displays LinkedIn’s three most common reactions, Like, Celebrate, and Love, as overlapping colored circles. You set the total reaction count as a single number.
What’s the output resolution?
The canvas renders at a high-DPI resolution (780px wide at 2x), so it looks sharp in presentations, documents, and on retina displays.
Can I add an image to the post?
This version focuses on text posts, which are LinkedIn’s most common format. Image post mockups may come in a future update.
Does dark mode match LinkedIn’s actual theme?
Yes. The dark mode uses LinkedIn’s real dark background (#1B1F23) and text colors. It’s visually identical to the platform’s actual dark setting.
