LinkedIn posts are plain text: there is no bold or italic button. What looks like bold in other people's posts is made of different characters — Unicode's mathematical letters include complete bold, italic and monospace alphabets. This tool swaps each letter and digit you select for its styled twin, so the styling travels with the text when you paste it.

Those characters have costs. Screen readers may spell styled words out letter by letter or skip them, they do not match searches for the ordinary word, and each one is stored as two text units rather than one. Use them for a word or a short phrase, not whole paragraphs. Select styled text and press Plain to turn it back.

Line breaks are ordinary newlines and paste into LinkedIn unchanged. If runs of empty lines are collapsed after you post, turn on Protect blank lines, which puts an invisible character on each blank line so it is no longer empty.

Your text is processed by JavaScript running in this page and is never sent over the network. That matters when you are pasting a draft, a client brief, meeting notes or anything else you would rather not hand to a server.
