Formatting Best Practices
6 Tips for High-Performing LinkedIn Posts
Formatting is just the start. Follow these proven strategies to maximize your LinkedIn engagement.
1. Hook in First Line
Your first line must grab attention. Use bold statements, questions, or surprising facts to stop the scroll.
2. Use Bold Sparingly
Bold text draws eyes but overusing it reduces impact. Highlight only key phrases or important points.
3. Break Up Text
Use line breaks, bullet points, and short paragraphs. Walls of text get scrolled past.
4. Optimize First 3 Lines
Only ~3 lines show before '...more'. Front-load your best content to earn the click.
5. Strategic Hashtags
Use 3-5 relevant hashtags at the end. Too many looks spammy, too few limits reach.
6. End with a Question
Questions drive comments. Comments boost reach. Always invite engagement at the end.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about formatting LinkedIn posts
How does LinkedIn text formatting work?
LinkedIn doesn't support native bold or italic formatting. Instead, we use special Unicode characters that look like bold, italic, or other styles. These characters work across all platforms and don't require any special app or plugin - just copy and paste.
Will formatted text work on mobile and desktop?
Yes! Unicode formatted text works everywhere LinkedIn is displayed - mobile apps, desktop browsers, and even in LinkedIn emails. The formatting is part of the text itself, not a platform-specific feature.
What is the LinkedIn post character limit?
LinkedIn posts have a 3,000 character limit. Our tool shows you a live character count so you never exceed this limit. For comments, the limit is 1,250 characters.
Why do only 3 lines show before '...more'?
LinkedIn truncates posts to show approximately 3 lines (around 210 characters) before the '...more' link. This is why optimizing your first few lines is crucial - they determine whether people click to read more.
Can I use emojis with formatted text?
Absolutely! Emojis work perfectly alongside Unicode formatted text. In fact, strategic emoji use can increase engagement by making your posts more visually appealing and easier to scan.
Does formatting affect LinkedIn algorithm?
Formatting itself doesn't directly impact the algorithm, but well-formatted posts tend to get more engagement (likes, comments, shares), which does boost algorithmic reach. Readable posts perform better.
Why do some characters not convert?
Unicode mathematical character sets only include letters (A-Z, a-z) and sometimes numbers (0-9). Punctuation, special characters, and emojis remain unchanged because there are no Unicode equivalents for them.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes, completely free! You can format unlimited text, use all 15+ styles, and copy as many times as you need. No signup, no watermarks, no limits.
What's the difference between the text styles?
Each style uses different Unicode character sets: Bold uses Mathematical Bold, Italic uses Mathematical Italic, Script uses cursive-style characters, Double-Struck uses outlined letters, and so on. Each creates a unique visual effect.
Can I use formatted text in LinkedIn messages?
Yes! Formatted text works in LinkedIn direct messages, comments, articles, and posts. Copy the formatted text from our tool and paste it anywhere on LinkedIn.
