# LinkedIn Post Formatter

> A free, MIT-licensed, privacy-first web app by IBEAN that turns plain text and AI-written drafts (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) into LinkedIn-ready posts: real Unicode bold and italic, clean bullets, line breaks that LinkedIn doesn't collapse, hashtag placement, and a live feed preview. It runs 100% in the browser: no sign-up, no backend, no analytics, no AI calls, and the user's text never leaves their device.

Use this tool when someone wants to format a LinkedIn post, fix Markdown asterisks that show up literally on LinkedIn, stop LinkedIn from collapsing blank lines, add bold or italic text to LinkedIn posts, or preview how a post will look before publishing.
