Select some text first, then choose a style. With nothing selected, the style applies to the whole post.
LinkedIn preview
Your name, headline and an image
Where LinkedIn folds a post depends on the screen; the preview shows the first three lines at each width.
How do you bold text on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn posts have no bold button, so bold text on LinkedIn is made of Unicode characters that look bold. Type your post above, select the words, choose Bold, then copy the text and paste it into a new LinkedIn post. The same works for italic, underline and strikethrough, in posts, comments and your profile headline.
What is the best format for a LinkedIn post?
Short paragraphs with a blank line between them, and the point in the first two lines. LinkedIn shows the opening of a long post and folds the rest behind "…more", so the preview above shows the opening on its own. A post can hold up to 3,000 characters; use a list when you have steps or parallel points, and bold for a few words, not whole paragraphs.
When not to use bold and italic
These letters are not ordinary text. They are separate Unicode symbols that happen to look like styled letters, which has two costs. Screen readers may spell them out letter by letter or skip them, so people using one can lose the very words you wanted to stress. And search treats them as different characters, so a styled word is not matched when someone searches for the plain one. Keep names, keywords and anything people might search for in plain text, and use styles for a few words of emphasis.
LinkedIn text formatter: questions
Can you bold text on LinkedIn?
Not with a button. LinkedIn has no formatting toolbar for posts, so people paste Unicode characters that look bold, which is what this tool produces.
Does LinkedIn penalise formatted text?
LinkedIn has not said it does. The practical costs are accessibility and search: screen readers and search treat styled letters as different symbols, so keep them for a few words.
Does it work in comments and my headline?
Yes. The output is plain Unicode text, so it pastes anywhere LinkedIn accepts text, including comments, your headline and your About section.
What is the character limit for a LinkedIn post?
3,000 characters. For anything longer, LinkedIn suggests writing an article.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. Formatting, counting and the preview all run in your browser.
