The LinkedIn Text Formatter That Actually Works
Most LinkedIn posts are gray walls of text. They are boring. Use this tool to bold your hooks, italicize your points, and control exactly how your audience reads your content.
Free. No signup. No nonsense.
What is a LinkedIn Formatter?
It is not a font changer. It is a Unicode converter. This tool swaps standard letters for mathematical symbols (like vectors) that mimic bold or italic styles. This allows you to bypass LinkedIn's formatting restrictions to add visual emphasis.

Why You Need to Format Your Posts
You are competing for attention in a feed that moves fast. Here is why formatting isn't just vanity. It is strategy.
Stop the Scroll
Human eyes scan for contrast. If your post is a solid block of plain text, people scroll past it. Bold text acts like a speed bump. It forces the eye to stop.
Control the Cadence
Writing is about rhythm. You use italics to emphasize a word. Just like you would with your voice. It makes your writing sound like a human. Not a corporation.
Break the Monotony
Lists. Headers. Key takeaways. Structure implies value. When your post looks organized, people assume the content is valuable before they even read a word.
The Styles: When to Use What
Not all formatting is created equal. Use the right tool for the job.
| Style Name | Visual Example | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | šš¼š¹š± š§š²š š | For headlines. For the "Here's the thing" moments. |
| Italic | ššµš¢ššŖš¤ šš¦š¹šµ | For inner thoughts. For emphasis. |
| Bold Italic | š½š¤š”š šš©šš”šš | Combines bold and italic for dual-layer emphasis. |
| Underline | UĢ²nĢ²dĢ²eĢ²rĢ²lĢ²iĢ²nĢ²eĢ²dĢ² Ģ²TĢ²eĢ²xĢ²tĢ² | For links that aren't actually links. For critical warnings. |
| Strikethrough | SĢ¶tĢ¶rĢ¶iĢ¶kĢ¶eĢ¶tĢ¶hĢ¶rĢ¶oĢ¶uĢ¶gĢ¶hĢ¶ | For bad advice you are debunking. |
| Monospace | š¼šššššššš | For code. For raw data. |
| Script | š¢š¬š»š²š¹š½ | Adds a personal touch. Use sparingly. |
A Warning About "Fancy" Text
Here is the truth about formatting tools. They use Unicode characters. These are mathematical symbols that look like letters.
Most "font generators" give you garbage that screen readers cannot parse. A screen reader sees "šš¼š¹š±" and reads it as: "Mathematical Sans-Serif Bold Capital B..."
That hurts your accessibility. It hurts your reach. We are different. We prioritize readable, high-compatibility styles.
Never bold your keywords. LinkedIn's algorithm cannot read formatted text. Keep your job titles and primary topics in plain text. Use bolding for the humans. Not the bots.

Start Writing NowFrequently Asked Questions
Does using bold text hurt my LinkedIn reach?
It depends. LinkedIn's algorithm cannot read 'bold' text because it's technically Unicode symbols, not real letters. If you bold your main keywords (like 'Marketing Manager' or 'SaaS Sales'), you disappear from search results. But if you only use bold for visual hooks and headlines? It stops the scroll and boosts engagement. Use it for humans. Not the bot.
Why do some formatted posts look like boxes on Android?
That is the risk of cheap tools. We stick to 'safe' Unicode standards that render correctly on 99% of devices. However, older Android phones sometimes struggle with complex styles like 'Script' or 'Gothic.' If you want to be 100% safe, stick to Bold Sans and Italics.
Is this a font or a hack?
It is a technical hack. LinkedIn doesn't actually support custom fonts. We are swapping your standard alphabet characters for mathematical symbols that just *look* like bold or italic text. That is why you can't just copy-paste this into a Word doc and expect it to work the same way.
Can I use this for my LinkedIn Profile (Headline/About)?
You can, but be careful. Bolding your entire headline looks spammy and amateur. Use it to highlight *one* power word or your specific offer. And remember: words in bold won't show up when recruiters search for you. Keep your job titles in plain text.
Is this tool actually free?
Yes. No credits, no sign-ups, no 'unlock more styles' nonsense. We built this because we were tired of tools that make you click ten times just to bold a sentence.
Will formatting make my post go viral?
No. Formatting stops the scroll, but it doesn't fix bad writing. If your content is boring, bold text just makes it 'boldly boring.' If you want content that actually sounds like you and engages your network, that is what Glad AI's core engine does.
