LinkedIn Text Formatter
Make your LinkedIn posts easier to scan. Convert plain text into bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, or monospace — then copy and paste.
Input
Formatted output
Note: these are Unicode characters. They look like bold/italic in LinkedIn, but they may not be ideal for accessibility or search.
How to use this tool
- Paste your LinkedIn post (or headline) into the input box.
- Pick a style (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, or Monospace).
- Optionally toggle underline or strikethrough.
- Copy the formatted output and paste it into LinkedIn.
Tip: Use formatting for hooks, section headers, and key numbers. Avoid formatting every sentence — it can reduce readability.
Best practices for formatted LinkedIn posts
Formatting is a readability tool. Bold headings help the reader skim; monospace can make short frameworks stand out; italics can add emphasis without shouting.
Keep your hashtags plain (e.g. #marketing) so LinkedIn can detect them. Same for @mentions.
FAQ
Does LinkedIn support bold and italic text?
LinkedIn doesn't have a built-in bold/italic button. This tool converts characters to Unicode look-alikes that appear bold/italic when pasted into LinkedIn.
Will formatted text hurt SEO or accessibility?
Unicode formatting can reduce accessibility for screen readers and may not be ideal for long sections. Use it sparingly for emphasis (hooks, headings, key numbers).
Why do underline and strikethrough look different?
Underline/strikethrough are created using combining Unicode marks. The look can vary slightly depending on platform and font rendering.
Can I format hashtags and mentions?
You can, but it may reduce link/hashtag detection. For best results, keep hashtags and @mentions plain.
