LinkedIn Text Formatter

LinkedIn stores posts as plain text, so there is nowhere to put a bold tag. What looks like bold is a different set of characters. Unicode includes complete alphabets of styled letters for mathematics, such as 𝗕 (U+1D5D5) next to the ordinary B, and they paste anywhere text goes.

This tool uses the sans-serif sets. They match the system fonts LinkedIn uses for posts, so bold words look like a heavier weight of the same text rather than a different typeface. The serif sets that many generators use look like Times New Roman next to normal text. Numbers get bold digits too, but there are no italic digits in Unicode, so they stay upright in italic. Accented letters keep their accent, and emoji and other alphabets pass through unchanged.

Links are written as text followed by the URL, because LinkedIn only makes a bare URL clickable. URLs and hashtags are never styled, since a styled hashtag stops being a hashtag. Code blocks stay plain so the code still works if someone copies it, and tables become one line per row.

This is only for places that take no formatting. If you are pasting into Google Docs, Notion, or an email, which keep real bold and headings, use Markdown to Rich Text instead.

Styled letters are a workaround, and it shows for some readers. Screen readers can read each letter as a math symbol or skip the word, LinkedIn search may not match it, and a post that is mostly bold is harder to scan, not easier. That is why nothing here is bold unless you ask for it.

A good rule: bold the hook or one key phrase per paragraph, use line breaks and short paragraphs for structure, and let bullets do the rest. If you only need to strip markdown symbols from a ChatGPT draft, turn off "Unicode bold and italic" and you get clean plain text. For em dashes in other places, there is a separate em dash remover.
