Shorten Your LinkedIn About Section & Headline
Every field on LinkedIn has a hard character cap - the headline, the About section, posts, even connection notes. And only the first few lines of your About section show before the 'see more' fold, so the opening has to carry your whole pitch.
WordLimit compresses your profile copy to an exact character count while keeping your professional tone and the keywords recruiters search for. No rewriting into generic corporate speak - your experience, just tighter.
Most visitors never click 'see more'. Put your role, specialty, and strongest proof point at the very top of the About section.
Recruiters search by skill and title. When cutting, protect the exact terms people would use to find you.
For posts, the text visible before truncation decides whether anyone expands it. Compress your hook, not just the body.
As of 2026, the headline allows 220 characters and standard posts allow about 3,000 characters. Limits change occasionally, so check LinkedIn's current specs for the field you are editing.
WordLimit removes redundancy rather than rewriting your text in template language, so your own phrasing and tone survive the cut.
Yes. Set the limitation basis to characters and enter the exact cap of the LinkedIn field you are writing for.
