Frequently Asked Questions

About This Thumbnail Readability Check

Is this tool connected to Instagram?

No. Preview My Post is an independent visual preview tool. It requires no login, account connection, or Meta API access.

How is readability estimated?

The first version uses image dimensions, relative thumbnail scale, crop geometry, and content heuristics. Treat warnings as review prompts, not guarantees.
