How to Add a Link to a LinkedIn Post

Updated on:

Try this interactive demo to learn how to add a link to a LinkedIn post.
  1. To add a link to a LinkedIn post, go to a post where you can insert a link.
  2. Paste your link into the text field and wait for a preview to be generated automatically.
  3. Click the 'X' on the preview to remove it and keep only the plain text link in your post.
  4. Once done, click 'Post' or 'Comment', and you’ll see a text-only link added to your LinkedIn post.

📌 Why this matters

Adding text-only links to your LinkedIn posts lets you share resources without the visual clutter of auto-generated previews. This approach keeps your content clean and directs attention to your message rather than competing thumbnail images. You maintain complete control over how your post appears while still providing valuable links to your network. Text links also load faster and create a more professional, streamlined look that emphasizes your expertise rather than relying on external website previews to capture engagement.
