These use Unicode styling, so they paste anywhere on LinkedIn. Screen readers announce styled characters differently than plain text, so use formatting for emphasis, not for whole paragraphs.
How to format LinkedIn text
Type or paste your text
Drop in a post, headline, or comment. The formatted versions update as you type.
Pick a style and copy
Bold, italic, bold italic, underline, or strikethrough. Hit copy on the one you want.
Paste it into LinkedIn
It pastes as normal text because the styling is built from Unicode characters, not rich-text formatting LinkedIn would strip.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add bold text to a LinkedIn post?
LinkedIn has no native bold button, so paste your text into this formatter, copy the bold version, and paste it into your post, headline, or comment. It works because the bold characters are Unicode symbols, not rich-text formatting.
Does LinkedIn support bold and italic formatting?
Not natively. There is no formatting toolbar in the LinkedIn composer. This tool works around that by substituting Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols that look bold or italic and paste anywhere on the platform.
Will bold or styled text hurt my reach or accessibility?
Styled Unicode characters are read differently by screen readers than plain text, so use them for emphasis (a headline word, a key phrase) rather than whole paragraphs. Used sparingly, they help posts stand out without affecting reach.
Is the LinkedIn text formatter free?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, requires no signup, and there is no limit on how much text you can format.
