# LinkedIn Bullet Points Canonical page: https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-bullet-points LinkedIn's post composer has no list button, so a bullet has to be a character. Paste your lines into the formatter below and copy the list with the style you choose, or click any of the 208 bullets to copy one on its own. Both work in posts, comments, the About section, and job descriptions. Free to use, with no account needed. ## How to use it 1. Paste your lines into **Format a list**, one item per line, and pick a bullet style or a numbering style. 2. Click **Copy the list** and paste it into LinkedIn. 3. For a single bullet, search the 208 bullets by name and click one to copy it. ## Questions people ask ### How do I add bullet points on LinkedIn? The post composer has no list button, so the bullet has to be a character you type or paste. Two ways: click a bullet above to copy it and paste it at the start of each line, or paste your lines into the formatter at the top, choose a style, and copy the finished list in one go. Either way LinkedIn keeps it, because a bullet character is text, not formatting. ### Why is there no bullet point button in the LinkedIn composer? Posts are plain text on LinkedIn. Articles and newsletters have a formatting toolbar with real lists; posts, comments, and the profile sections do not, and anything you paste from a document arrives with its bullets turned into plain lines or dropped. The bullet characters on this page are the workaround everyone uses, and they show the same on desktop and in the app. ### How do I type a bullet point with the keyboard? On a Mac, Option+8 types •. On Windows, hold Alt and type 7 on the number pad, or Alt+0149. On an iPhone, hold the hyphen key on the keyboard and slide to the bullet. None of those help with the other styles, which is what the copy buttons above are for. ### Can I nest bullet points on LinkedIn? Not by indenting: leading spaces are not something to rely on in the composer, and they vanish on some devices. Use a second bullet style for the sub-items instead, such as ↳ or ◦ under •, or the numbered circles for the main items and a plain dot under each. The eye reads the change of shape as a level. ### Which bullet style should I use? The plain bullet (•) for nearly everything. A check (✅) when every item is something achieved or included, and a cross (❌) for the list of what to avoid, which reads well as a pair. An arrow (→) for steps in order. Numbers when the order matters or you will refer back to an item. One style per post; a list that changes shape halfway reads as three lists. ### Do bullet characters count against the character limit? Yes, one character each against the 3,000-character post limit, plus the space after it. Ten bullets cost twenty characters, which never decides anything. ### Do these work in the About section and job descriptions? Yes, anywhere LinkedIn accepts text, and the Experience section is where bullets are most useful: three lines of what you did and what it produced read faster than a paragraph. Paste the finished list from the formatter above straight into the description field. ### Is it free, and does it store anything? Free, no account, no watermark. The formatter and the picker both run in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere. The page keeps your list draft and your recently copied bullets in your browser so they are there when you come back. ## More free tools - [Every free tool for LinkedIn and X](https://depost.ai/tools) --- Cite as Depost AI (https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-bullet-points).
