How this LinkedIn text tool works

Fill in your name and role, then write a headline and an About section. The preview updates as you type so you can see how the profile card will read.

Use an example if you want a starting draft, then replace the company, role and proof with your own. Copy the headline and About separately. LinkedIn still needs you to paste them into your profile.

Write Headline first

Say what you do and who you help. Save the story for About.

Check See the card

The preview shows name, headline and About the way a visitor skims them.

Copy Paste on LinkedIn

Copy each field and paste it into your profile. Nothing is posted from here.

Tip: Lead with the work you want next, not only the job you have now.

Useful notes

  •   The headline is a search line. Use role, skill and outcome, not a slogan.
  •   About can be longer, but the first two lines matter most on mobile.
  •   Write in the first person. “I” is normal on LinkedIn.
  •   You do not need hashtags in the headline.
  •   Your draft stays in this browser until you clear it.
