LinkedIn Post Formatter
Make words bold or italic, build lists and tidy the spacing. The preview shows your post the way the feed does, cut at “…more”, so you can fix the opening before you copy.

A draft preview, not LinkedIn itself. Line wrapping and where “…more” falls depend on the reader’s device and font.

Posting gets you seen. Extrovert helps you follow up.
Extrovert is a LinkedIn outreach assistant for founders and sales teams. It finds prospects, suggests who to comment on or DM today, and prepares drafts in your voice. You decide what goes out.
Finds prospects
Describe your ideal customer to find people who fit, or let Intent Signals find them by their LinkedIn activity. You choose who to add.
Prioritizes actions
Two short lists for today, comments and DMs, every item with a reason.
Prepares drafts
Drafts use the actual post or conversation and your writing style. Extrovert checks for AI-sounding phrases before you review.
Illustration: two stacks, prospects' posts and conversations, sorted into today's priorities. Posts rise with reasons such as "One more comment, then outreach", "On your topic", "Overdue for a comment" and "Where your buyers read"; an off-topic post drops out. Conversations rise with "New role, follow up early", "Two weeks with no reply" and "Ready for a first DM"; a slow nurture waits. The result is two short lists, comments for today and DMs for today; what sinks below the line is marked "Not today".

How to format a LinkedIn post
Write or paste your draft
Start in the editor, or load the sample post to see every control at work.
Style a few words
Select a phrase and press Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough or Code. Press it again to remove the style. Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I work too (Cmd on a Mac).
Shape the lines
Turn lines into bullets or numbers, or order them by length with Staircase. Tidy spacing fixes extra blank lines, spaces and tabs, and shows the changes first.
Check the preview, then copy
Read the first three lines as the feed shows them, switch between mobile and desktop, and copy the post exactly as previewed.
Good to know
- Bold and italic are Unicode letters
- Posts are plain text, so styled letters are separate characters. Screen readers may read them oddly and search may not match them. Use them on a few words, not whole paragraphs.
- Links, hashtags and mentions stay plain
- Styling skips them, so they keep working when you post.
- The first three lines do the work
- The feed shows about three lines before “…more”. Put the point of your post there and keep the opening short.
- Your draft stays on this page
- Text and images are not uploaded or saved. Closing the tab clears them, so copy your post before you leave.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make text bold or italic on LinkedIn?
Select the words in the editor and press Bold or Italic, or use Ctrl+B and Ctrl+I (Cmd on a Mac). The tool swaps supported Latin letters and digits for styled Unicode characters, which LinkedIn displays as they are. Copy the post and paste it into LinkedIn. Letters without a styled version stay unchanged.
Will formatting affect accessibility or search?
Styled Unicode characters can be hard for screen readers and may not match ordinary words in search. Use emphasis sparingly. Links, hashtags, email addresses and mentions stay plain.
Why does my post cut off at “…more”?
The feed shows the first few lines of a post, about three, and hides the rest behind “…more”. The preview shows where that cut falls on mobile and desktop. The exact point depends on the reader’s screen and font, so treat it as a guide and check the post in LinkedIn before publishing.
What does Tidy spacing change?
You choose the fixes: a blank line between paragraphs, fewer empty lines, trimmed spaces, tabs replaced, and consistent bullets or numbers. Check the changed lines, then apply. Undo brings back the previous version. Emoji and the characters that join letters in some scripts stay intact.
What does staircase ordering do?
It reorders the selected lines by length: short to long, long to short, or a pyramid that is short at both ends or long at both ends. Blank lines keep groups apart. Use it on lists whose order does not matter, and Undo if it changes the meaning.
What does the readability grade mean?
It estimates the US school grade needed to follow your post, using the Automated Readability Index, with each line break counted as the end of a sentence. Lower is easier to read. Many writers aim for grade 8 or lower.
Is the formatter free, and is my text saved?
It is free and needs no signup. Your text and images stay in your browser. They are not uploaded or stored, and closing the tab clears them.
