Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I style the selection. If nothing is selected, they style the whole box. Styled letters outside the basic multilingual plane count as 2. Italic h counts as 1. Screen readers often spell this Unicode out, so use it on a few words, not the whole post.

How to bold text on LinkedIn
Select the words, then press Bold or Ctrl+B. LinkedIn has no bold button of its own. This page swaps those letters for Unicode characters that look bold when you paste them. Use it on a few words in the first line, then leave the rest plain so a screen reader can still read the post.
What actually pastes
LinkedIn has no bold button. The letters on this page are Unicode math symbols. They paste into a post, a comment, a headline or an About section. They are not a font, and they are not a larger size.
Screen readers often read them as symbols or spell them one letter at a time. Bold a few words in the hook, then leave the rest in plain text.
Questions people ask
What is a free text formatting tool for LinkedIn?
This page. It runs in your browser, it is free, and it does not ask you to sign up. Bold, italic, bullets, numbered lists and dividers are Unicode characters you can paste into a post, a comment, a headline or an About section.
How do I change the font size on LinkedIn?
You cannot. LinkedIn does not offer a font-size control in posts. Unicode bold looks heavier, but it is not a larger font. Screen readers often read those characters poorly, so keep bold to a few words.
What is the best formatting for LinkedIn posts?
Short lines, a blank line between thoughts, and a few bold words in the hook. A wall of bold text is hard to read. Stay under 3,000 characters. Most styled letters count as two because they sit outside the basic multilingual plane.
