LinkedIn Text Formatter

Make your LinkedIn posts easier to read with bold and italic words, bullet points and a preview of how the post looks before ‘see more’.

How to use it

1. Write or paste your post.
2. Select the words you want to style and press Bold, Italic or Underline.
3. Select lines and press Bullets to turn them into a list.
4. Copy the post and paste it into LinkedIn.

LinkedIn posts don’t support formatting, so the tool uses Unicode letters that look bold or italic. Use Plain text to undo styling.

Writing posts people read

• Make the first two lines count: they appear before “see more”.
• Use short paragraphs and white space.
• Bold just a few key words, not whole paragraphs.
• End with a question to invite comments.

LinkedIn posts can be up to 3,000 characters. Styled letters can count as more than one character in some places, so leave some room.
