LinkedIn post formatter

LinkedIn has no bold or italic button. Write below, select text and pick a style. It becomes bold, italic, underline or strikethrough you can paste straight into LinkedIn. It all happens in your browser.

Tip: select the text you want to style. With nothing selected, the style applies to the whole post.

About the formatter

  • How do you bold text on LinkedIn?
    LinkedIn's post box is plain text. There's no bold button. This formatter swaps your letters for Unicode “mathematical” characters that display as bold (or italic, underline, strikethrough) in the feed. Write your text, select it, pick a style, then copy and paste into LinkedIn.
  • Does the formatting work on mobile and desktop?
    Yes. Because it uses real Unicode characters rather than rich-text markup, the styling renders the same in the LinkedIn feed on both mobile and desktop, and when your post is shared.
  • Is there a downside to bold and italic text?
    Yes, and it's worth knowing: screen readers often read these Unicode characters out oddly or skip them, which hurts accessibility for visually impaired readers. Overusing it can also read as spammy. Use it sparingly: a bold line or two for emphasis, not whole paragraphs.
  • Is the formatter free?
    Yes, completely free and no signup. Nothing you type leaves your browser. The formatting happens entirely on your device.
