How do I make text bold on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn has no bold button, so paste in your text above, click Copy on the Bold style, then paste it into your LinkedIn post, comment, headline, or profile section. The tool swaps your letters for Unicode bold characters that LinkedIn displays as bold.

What styles are supported?

Bold, italic, bold italic, sans-serif bold and italic, script, bold script, fraktur, double-struck, monospace, underline, strikethrough, and double underline — plus one-click bullet points (•, →, ✓, ★, ✦).

Is the formatted text searchable on LinkedIn?

No. Unicode-formatted text is not indexed by LinkedIn search, so don't format keywords you want found (job titles, skills, company names). Use it for headings and short eye-catching snippets, and keep searchable keywords as plain text.

Will it work on phones and screen-readers?

It renders on modern iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, but very old devices may show empty boxes. Importantly, screen-readers don't interpret these characters as styled text — they read the Unicode names — so use formatting sparingly for accessibility.

Does it count toward LinkedIn's character limit?

Yes, and more than you'd expect — styled glyphs are multi-byte, so formatted text uses up LinkedIn's 3,000-character post limit faster than plain text. Leave a little extra room.

Is it free and private?

Completely free, no signup, no watermark, no usage cap. It runs 100% in your browser — your text is never sent to a server.

Use formatted text sparingly — a few important notes:

Not searchable: LinkedIn’s search won’t index these characters, so don’t format keywords you want found (job titles, skills).
Not screen-reader friendly: assistive tech reads these as individual Unicode names, which hurts accessibility. Use it for short eye-catching snippets, not whole paragraphs.
May not render everywhere: very old devices can show empty boxes instead of the styled glyphs.
Counts as more characters: styled text uses multi-byte characters, so it eats into LinkedIn’s length limit faster than it looks.
