Preview your posts with Social Preview

Enjoy real-time post previews that update instantly as you draft your content. See how your post will appear on social media. This feature is free, and an additional upload image feature is included in Jetpack Social or Jetpack Complete.

After drafting your post, you can use the Social Preview feature in the Jetpack sidebar to see how it will appear on social media. To access the Social Preview, follow the steps:

When editing the post, click the Jetpack icon if you use the Jetpack plugin or the Social icon if you use the Jetpack Social plugin in the top-right corner of the editor.
Click the Preview social posts button to open the Social Preview option.
In the pop-up window that appears, select the social media platform you want to preview from the horizontal tab.

Alternatively, you can access the Social Preview from the Publish sidebar to preview your drafted post:

Click the Publish button.
Click the Preview social posts button to open the Social Preview option.
In the pop-up window, select the social media platform you want to preview from the horizontal tab.
If everything looks good, click the Publish button in the pre-publish sidebar to publish your post; otherwise, click Cancel to return to your draft.

Enhanced Social Preview feature

With a paid Jetpack Social plan or Jetpack Complete bundle, you can access the enhanced Social Preview feature to see how your post will look on each connected social account and make instant edits as needed:

Add or change the attached image: Customize your social post by adding or replacing the attached image directly in the preview window.
Add or change a customized message: Write a custom message for your social audience. This message will override your social post content.
Schedule or share the post: you can choose to schedule the sharing or to share the content immediately.

Jetpack also provides a default fallback image in its Open Graph meta tags when no suitable image is available in the post. This ensures that a valid social preview image is always present, even if the post has no Featured Image or other images to use.

The Social Preview feature ensures your posts look great on social media before sharing them, with the option to customize attached media in paid plans.
