LinkedIn Text Formatter
Format LinkedIn posts and comments: bold a hook or key words, check the see-more fold and 3,000 limit, and copy real formatting or Unicode with an accessibility check.
Three steps to get started
Paste your post
Write in Docs or paste a draft. Your text autosaves in this browser.
Bold the hook and 2-3 words
Select words and press B, or click "Style first line only". Check the see-more fold on phone and desktop.
Copy for post or comment
Real formatting for posts and articles, Unicode for comments. The check tells you what screen readers will hear.
Formatting that helps reach instead of hurting it
Most LinkedIn formatters turn your whole post into Unicode look-alike letters. They look bold, but they are mathematical symbols: blind readers hear them spelled out, LinkedIn search cannot find them, and some LinkedIn surfaces normalise them back to plain text. This formatter is built around the way strong posts actually use emphasis: one bold hook above the fold and two or three key words.
- Real formatting first. Copies true bold as rich text, the same thing Word or Google Docs copies.
- Unicode when it is the only option, with names, hashtags, mentions and links left in normal letters.
- See-more fold for phone and desktop, a 3,000-character post limit and a 1,250-character comment limit.
- Accessibility check that shows the share of styled letters and what a screen reader may announce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Paste your post, select the hook line or a few key words and press B (or Ctrl+B / Cmd+B). Copy with real formatting first: where LinkedIn keeps pasted formatting, that bold stays readable for screen readers and searchable. If it pastes as plain text, copy as Unicode instead and keep it to the hook and one or two words.
Unicode bold letters are look-alike symbols. Screen readers may read each one as "mathematical bold capital ..." or skip it, and LinkedIn search will not match styled words, names or hashtags. A whole post in Unicode bold is unreadable for blind followers and invisible to search. The accessibility check shows how much of your post is affected.
After about three lines, or roughly 140 characters on a phone and 210 on desktop, whichever comes first. The preview marks the fold so your hook lands above it. Switch between Phone and Desktop to check both.
Comments drop real formatting, so only Unicode shows as bold there. Pick "LinkedIn comment" and the tool switches to Unicode, keeps hashtags and mentions plain, and counts against the 1,250-character comment limit.
The counter counts each styled letter as one character, the way LinkedIn displays it. Some tools count them as two because of how they are stored, which is why other counters may show a higher number.
No. Formatting, the check and copying all happen in your browser.
