LinkedIn text formatter
LinkedIn has no bold or italic button. Write your post here, select a few words, choose a style, and copy it into LinkedIn. Bullet points and numbered lists too, with a preview of how the opening reads. Free, with no sign-up.

Your name
Your headline
Your post appears here as you write.
Feeds show the first few lines before “…more”, so the opening has to earn the click. Each styled letter counts as two characters toward LinkedIn’s 3,000. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
Three rules for formatting that helps
A few words, not a paragraph
Bold the one phrase you want skimmers to catch. A whole post in bold reads as shouting, and screen readers struggle with it.
Lists for steps and takeaways
Bullets and numbers make a long post easy to scan. Keep each point to a line.
Earn the “…more”
Only the first few lines show in the feed. Put the point there, not the warm-up.
Schedule the formatted post to LinkedIn from Smartplannr, with carousels and PDF documents too. See the LinkedIn scheduler.
