How to italicize text on LinkedIn

Like bold, italics aren't built into LinkedIn's editor. This tool converts your letters into Unicode italic characters that paste into LinkedIn as regular text and display in italics everywhere — posts, comments, your About section.

A note on readability

Italic Unicode is slightly harder to read at small sizes than bold, especially the serif variant. Use it for short phrases, and check the result on mobile — our post preview tool shows exactly how it will look.

Frequently asked questions

Can you italicize text on LinkedIn natively?

No. LinkedIn has no italic button for posts. Italic text is created with Unicode italic characters, which paste like normal text.

Do italics work in LinkedIn comments?

Yes. Unicode italic characters work in posts, comments, articles and profile sections.

Why does the letter “h” look different in serif italic?

Unicode's mathematical italic block has a gap at “h”, so a compatible character (ℎ) is substituted automatically.
