After months of building, I'm finally sharing this side project. It lets you preview Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and 6 other platforms without posting anything. All client-side, no data stored. Feedback welcome!

How to Use the Reddit Post Preview Tool

1

Set Subreddit and Username

Enter the subreddit name (e.g. r/programming) and your Reddit username. These appear in the post header as they do on the live platform.

2

Write Your Title and Body

Enter your post title โ€” this is the most critical element on Reddit. Optionally add body text for a self-post. Both render accurately in the preview card.

3

Set a Flair with Custom Colour

Add post flair text and pick a colour using the colour picker. The flair badge appears next to the subreddit in the header, styled with your chosen colour.

4

Add Awards and Engagement

Type emoji award combinations (e.g. ๐Ÿฅ‡ 42 ยท ๐Ÿ† 5) and use the upvote and comment sliders to simulate engagement levels for your mock-up.

5

Toggle Dark / Light Mode

Switch between Reddit's dark and light themes to see how your post looks in both. Dark mode is Reddit's default for most users today.

About This Tool

The Reddit Post Preview Tool generates a realistic Reddit post card mock-up with full subreddit branding, vote column, flair, awards, and action buttons โ€” in both dark and light themes.

Reddit is a text-heavy platform where titles make or break a post's performance. This tool lets content strategists, community managers, and power users craft and A/B test different title formulations and flair options before committing to a submission.
