LinkedIn has no bold button — so every post is a wall of identical grey text. This free formatter fixes that: type your post, select any words, and make them bold, italic, underlined, or one of 20+ Unicode font styles that display everywhere on LinkedIn. A live preview shows exactly how it'll look in the feed, then one click copies it, ready to paste. No sign-up, no limits, runs right in your browser. I built it because I kept needing it myself — it's free, forever.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Salman — a freelance WordPress developer, and I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn. The thing that always bugged me: there's no way to bold or italicize text in a post, so everything reads as one flat grey block and great ideas get scrolled past.
So I built this. It uses Unicode characters that *look* formatted but paste anywhere on LinkedIn — posts, comments, your headline, your About section. There's a live LinkedIn-style preview so you see the result before you post, a one-click copy, and a library of 20+ styles.
It's completely free, no sign-up, and runs in your browser. A couple of honest notes I bake into the tool: keep your name/keywords in plain text (Unicode isn't searchable), and use styling for emphasis — a bold hook + a couple of key phrases — not whole paragraphs.
Would love your feedback, and happy to add styles people want. 🙌

The live preview is such a smart touch. Nothing worse than pasting a formatted post into LinkedIn and realizing your fancy Unicode font rendered as random boxes.

Thanks so much, @cumatfcj! 🙌 That's exactly why I added the preview first. The "random boxes" issue used to drive me crazy. Some Unicode styles look great on desktop but break on the LinkedIn mobile app or certain phones, so I wanted people to see the actual result before they post.
I also added a couple of simple tips, like keeping your name and keywords in plain text and using styled text just for emphasis.
