Feed preview

The preview cuts the post after three lines, the way a feed shows a long post before "more". The exact cut changes with screen size.

What a LinkedIn text formatter does

A LinkedIn text formatter lets you write a post with bold, italic, underlined or crossed-out words and with lists, then copy it into LinkedIn. It swaps the letters you select for Unicode characters that look bold or italic, so the style stays when you paste the post and when other people read it.

This editor uses the sans-serif letters from Unicode's maths set, which look close to LinkedIn's own text. Underline and strikethrough add a combining mark after each letter. Lists add a bullet or a number at the start of each line.

Use styles for a few words, such as your first line or one key phrase. Screen readers may read styled letters one by one, and search may not match them to normal words, so keep names, skills and keywords plain.

LinkedIn formatting questions

How do I make text bold on LinkedIn?

Write your post in the editor above, select the words, tap Bold and copy the post. The tool swaps those letters for bold Unicode characters, so they stay bold when you paste the post into LinkedIn and when other people read it on a computer or in the app.

Can I use bold text in my LinkedIn headline and About section?

Yes, you can paste styled letters into your headline and your About section too. Keep your job title, skills and company names in plain letters, because search may not match styled letters to normal words. Use a style for one short phrase at most.

How long can a LinkedIn post be?

LinkedIn's help page says posts can contain up to 3,000 characters. The counter above counts every character in your post, including spaces, line breaks, bullets and emoji, and turns red when the post is over the limit. Styled letters count as one character each here.

Is bold text on LinkedIn bad for accessibility?

It can be. The disability charity Scope says a screen reader may read a styled letter by its maths name or skip it, and the sight loss charity RNIB says it may say bold or italic between letters or skip words. Style a few words at most, never a whole post, and keep names and links plain.

Can I remove bold or italic from text I already formatted?

Yes. Paste the post into the editor, select the styled words and tap Clear style, or tap the same style again. The tool changes styled letters to plain letters, so you can fix an old post without retyping it. Lists work the same way: tap the list button again.

Why do some readers see boxes instead of bold letters?

A device can only show a character that its system font includes. Current phones and computers show the bold and italic sans-serif letters this editor uses, but an older device may show empty boxes. That is one more reason to style only a few words.

Do the bullet lists from this tool work on LinkedIn?

Yes. The bullet list adds a bullet character and a space to each selected line, and the numbered list adds a number and a full stop. Both are plain characters, so LinkedIn shows them as you see them in the preview. Tap the button again to remove them.
