Shows your ad text and picture laid out as a Google search ad, a Meta feed or story ad, a LinkedIn sponsored post or an X promoted post, and checks each field against the platform's limit wherever an official source documents one. For anyone writing paid ads who wants to see the cut before spending on a campaign.
How to use it
Choose the ad format, then write your text. The preview updates as you type, and nothing leaves your browser.
- Choose the format: Google search, Meta feed, Meta story, LinkedIn or X.
- Write the headlines, descriptions or ad text, or load the example to see how it reads.
- For the social formats, add the picture you plan to use. It stays in your browser.
- Read the headline above the ad, then shorten any field marked as over its limit until the cut marker disappears.
How Reavlo tests this
The count is plain arithmetic, run in your browser. The limits come from Reavlo's platform limits data and the picture sizes from its media specifications data, and each shows the date it was checked against the platform's own documentation.
- Characters are counted as people see them: one visible character is one, so an emoji with skin tone or a letter with an accent is a single character. This follows the Unicode extended grapheme cluster rules.
- Where a source documents that every link counts as a fixed length (X), each link in your text counts as that length, whatever its real length.
- The cut is the first character that does not fit. It is never placed inside a character. Where LinkedIn documents the point at which the feed shows "see more", that point is marked too.
- A picture is compared with the recommended size whose shape is closest to its own: same size, larger, smaller or a different shape. Only its pixel size is read.
- A format with no figure from an official source is still drawn, but no cut is marked for it. A missing limit is deliberate, not an oversight.
Limits. The frames are schematic, not a copy of any platform's interface, and a platform may rewrite, shorten or reorder your text. Google may show fewer headlines than you write. Meta publishes no text limit that Reavlo has verified, and no numeric safe zone for stories, so those are drawn without a cut or guides. Always check the final ad in the platform's own preview before you pay for it.
Questions
Why does Meta show no limit?
A limit is listed only when it is documented in the platform's own help pages. Where no official number has been verified, any number would be folklore, so the preview draws the ad and leaves the cut out.
Is this exactly how my ad will look?
No. The frames are schematic and every one says so. Platforms choose which headlines to show and may rewrite text, so use the preview to catch text that is too long, then confirm in the platform's own preview.
Does an emoji count as one character?
Yes, here it does. A family emoji is built from several symbols joined together but shows as one character, and the tool counts it as one. Leave a small margin for emoji-heavy text in case a platform counts differently.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. The picture is read and shown in your browser tab only, and it is released when you remove it or leave the page.
Does it work with right-to-left text?
Yes. The text in each frame follows its own direction, so Hebrew or Arabic ads read the way they will on the platform.
