LinkedIn Text Formatter
LinkedIn posts have no formatting toolbar, so most posts are a wall of plain text. Write your post below, select the words that should stand out and make them bold, italic or underlined — then copy the whole post at once.
The counter checks your post against LinkedIn’s 3,000-character limit, and your draft stays in this browser until you clear it.

Fancy text on LinkedIn
- Hooks: make the first line bold — it’s what people see before “…see more”.
- Lists: start lines with ✓, ▸ or → instead of bullets; they keep their shape on every device.
- Headline and About: styled text works there too, but recruiters search for plain keywords, so style only a word or two.
- Accessibility: screen readers can stumble over styled letters, so don’t style whole paragraphs.
LinkedIn character limits
| Headline | 220 |
|---|---|
| Comment | 1,250 |
| About | 2,600 |
| Post | 3,000 |
Some apps count a styled letter as two characters, so leave a little room.
Questions
How do I bold text in a LinkedIn post?
Type or paste your post into the editor, select the words and press B. Then press Copy all and paste the post into LinkedIn — the bold text stays bold for everyone.
Does formatted text hurt my reach on LinkedIn?
There’s no sign that LinkedIn penalises Unicode styles, but styled words aren’t matched by search. Keep keywords and names in plain text and use bold for emphasis.
