Stand out in the LinkedIn feed. Our free LinkedIn post formatter converts standard Markdown into LinkedIn-compatible Unicode characters, letting you use bold, italics, and proper lists in your posts.
LinkedIn doesn't support native rich text formatting in posts. We use mathematical alphanumeric symbols (Unicode) that look like bold/italic text but are actually distinct characters that render beautifully on any device.
Why Use This Tool?
Bold text grabs attention instantly in crowded feeds.
Lists and whitespace make long posts scannable.
Use the Markdown syntax you already know.
Best Practices for LinkedIn Posts
- 💡 Use bold for headlines and key stats only
- 💡 Don't bold entire paragraphs (it's hard to read)
- 💡 Use italics for emphasis or quotes
- 💡 Keep the first line short and punchy to encourage "See more" clicks
- 💡 Use bullet points for lists of 3+ items
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on mobile?
Yes! Since we use standard Unicode characters, the formatted text displays correctly on the LinkedIn mobile app (iOS and Android) as well as desktop.
Is it SEO and accessibility friendly?
Mostly yes. It increases human engagement (dwell time). However, screen readers might announce these characters as "Mathematical Bold Capital A...", so use them sparingly for accessibility.
Does LinkedIn support Markdown?
No, LinkedIn does not natively support Markdown. This tool converts Markdown to Unicode characters to simulate formatting.
How do I bold text in a LinkedIn post?
You cannot use native formatting buttons on LinkedIn posts. Instead, use our tool to generate bold Unicode characters that you can copy and paste.
Is this tool free?
Yes, the LinkedIn Post Formatter is 100% free to use with no limits.
