Everything on this page runs in your browser or on our AI, without an account. LinkedIn posts have no bold, italic, underline or bullet buttons: those exist only in articles and newsletters. A LinkedIn post is capped at 3,000 characters, with about 210 visible before "see more" on desktop and fewer on mobile. The tools below handle the formatting, counting, previewing and writing; the scheduler handles the posting.

LinkedIn limits and sizes at a glance
A LinkedIn post is capped at 3,000 characters, with about 210 visible before "see more" on desktop and fewer on mobile. Headlines are 220, the About section 2,600, comments 1,250. LinkedIn wraps lines at about 60 characters on a phone, so short lines read better.
Posting on LinkedIn in 2026
Under 12 words in the first line, one idea per post, short lines with white space. Posts that ask a real question get comments, and comments are what the LinkedIn feed rewards.
LinkedIn suggests three to five hashtags per post. They help LinkedIn categorise the post for people who follow the tag; more than five looks like spam and adds nothing.

Formatting support on LinkedIn
LinkedIn posts have no bold, italic or bullet buttons — only articles and newsletters do. Unicode bold is what every "formatted" LinkedIn post you have seen is using.
Use "→", "•" or "✔" at line starts; keep lines short — LinkedIn wraps at about 60 characters on mobile.
