Everything runs in your browser; your text is never sent anywhere. Use formatted text sparingly: screen readers may read these characters poorly.
LinkedIn does not offer native text formatting, so this tool maps your letters to special Unicode characters that look like bold, italic or monospace type. Because they are ordinary characters, they survive anywhere you can type: posts, headlines, comments and messages.
Use formatting to highlight a key phrase or structure a long post, not for whole paragraphs. Screen readers struggle with these characters, and overusing them can also make your text harder to find in search, so a little goes a long way.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make text bold on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn has no bold button, but Unicode has lookalike characters for bold and italic letters. Type your text here, copy the bold version, and paste it into your post, headline or comment.
Is it safe to use formatted text on LinkedIn?
Yes, these are standard Unicode characters and using them breaks no LinkedIn rule. Use them sparingly though: screen readers can read them out letter by letter, and text made entirely of them is harder to search.
Where does formatted text work?
Anywhere you can type on LinkedIn: posts, your headline, the About section, comments and messages. Very old devices may show some characters as empty boxes.
