Type or paste your post and watch the stats update in real time. See exactly where LinkedIn cuts off with "see more", what length zone you're in, and how long your hook is.
Klyo generates LinkedIn posts in your voice, with the right length and structure already built in.
Different content types perform best at different lengths. Use this as a reference when deciding how long your post should be.
| Post type | Ideal length | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Short take / hot take | 150-300 chars | Punchy opinions don't need explanation. Short posts get fully read and often get more comments per impression. |
| Story post | 400-700 chars | Enough room to set a scene and land the lesson without losing the reader. The sweet spot for narrative posts. |
| Tip list / numbered post | 400-900 chars | Lists are scannable. Readers jump to the number that sounds most relevant to them. Medium length keeps them from dropping off. |
| Case study / deep dive | 700-1300 chars | Detailed insight posts reward readers who opt in. Long enough to be genuinely useful, not so long that it should be an article. |
| Thought leadership essay | 1000-1800 chars | Longer works when the idea is genuinely novel and well-argued. Padded length kills these - every sentence must earn its place. |
| Poll or engagement post | 100-250 chars | The post is the setup for the poll. Don't over-explain. Ask clearly, let the options do the work. |
| Carousel post caption | 150-400 chars | The caption sells the carousel, it doesn't replace it. A compelling hook and one-sentence pitch is enough to get the slide swipe. |
