How it works
Format it, check it,
then paste it
Write or paste your post
Select words and press a style, or use Cmd+B, Cmd+I and Cmd+U (Ctrl on Windows). Press it again to take it off.
Check the preview
Switch between computer and phone. The dashed line shows about where readers have to tap to see more, so put your point above it.
Copy it into LinkedIn
Paste it into the LinkedIn post box. The styles are Unicode characters, not formatting, so they travel with the text. Check the post on your phone before you publish.
How do I bold text on LinkedIn?
Select the words here, press Bold, then copy the post and paste it into LinkedIn. Bold swaps each letter for a Unicode look-alike, and digits turn bold too. Press Bold again to take it off. Some older Android phones and some work computers show empty boxes in their place (Taplio's formatter page, read on 23 October 2026), so check the post on a phone.
How do I write in italic?
The same way, with Italic. Unicode has no italic digits, so numbers stay upright. Bold on italic text makes it bold italic.
How do I add bullet points or a numbered list?
Select the lines and press a list button. Bullets are the plain "•" character and numbers are plain "1.", not styled letters, so screen readers read them as they are. Press the button again to take the list off.
Can I underline or strike through text?
Yes. Each letter gets a combining line, which this count charges as one more character, and how the line looks depends on the font. Check it on your phone before you post.
Where does LinkedIn cut a post with "see more"?
LinkedIn's help gives the length limit, not where the cut falls. Taplio's post formatter page says the first 3 lines show on a computer and 2 on a phone, and Typefully's post preview page says about 3 to 5 lines on a computer and fewer on a phone (both read on 23 October 2026). The preview marks the earlier count, so treat the line as an estimate. A post can hold up to 3,000 characters (LinkedIn Help, read on 23 October 2026).
Does bold text hurt reach?
We found no evidence that it does. It can cost you in other ways: a styled word is a different character from the letter people type, so a search for the plain word may not find it (Taplio's formatter page says LinkedIn search does not match them, read on 23 October 2026). Keep names and keywords plain.
Can screen readers read styled text?
Not reliably. In Adrian Roselli's test of March 2025, JAWS read out each letter with its style, NVDA, VoiceOver and Narrator did not announce the styled words, and TalkBack read them as ordinary text. Unicode's own report on these letters (UTR #25) says they are meant for math notation, not for ordinary text. Use them for a word or two.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account and no install, and it all runs in your browser.
