What makes a great one
What makes a strong LinkedIn headline
Your headline follows you everywhere on LinkedIn: search results, comments, posts, and connection requests. The best ones do these four things.
💼
Leads with your role
Put your job title or specialty first. It’s often the only part people see before your headline gets cut off.
🔍
Uses the words people search
Recruiters and clients search LinkedIn by skill and title. Include one or two of the keywords they’d use to find you.
🎯
Says who you help
“Designer” is a job. “Brand designer for coffee shops” is a reason to reach out. Name your audience.
🏆
Shows proof
A number, a result, or a well-known employer makes your headline believable. One strong detail beats a list of buzzwords.

Headline vs bio
Your LinkedIn headline, bio, and About section explained
People use “LinkedIn bio” to mean a few different things. Here’s where each piece of your profile shows up, and how long it can be.
🏷️ Headline · 220 characters
The line under your name. It appears in search results, on your posts, and next to every comment you leave. This is what the generator writes.
📖 About section · 2,600 characters
The longer summary on your profile. Use your new headline as its first line, then add your experience, results, and how to work with you.
✍️ Posts · 3,000 characters
Where your expertise really shows. Our LinkedIn Post Generator turns an idea into a ready-to-post update.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the LinkedIn Headline Generator free?
Yes. The LinkedIn Headline Generator is 100% free and needs no login or sign-up. Describe yourself, pick a tone, and generate as many headlines as you like.
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
The LinkedIn headline character limit is 220 characters, and every headline this generator writes fits inside that limit. LinkedIn often shows only the start of your headline, for example next to your comments and in search results, so put your role and most important keywords first.
What’s the difference between a LinkedIn headline, bio, and About section?
Your headline is the short line under your name, up to 220 characters. Your About section, sometimes called your LinkedIn summary, is the longer text further down your profile, up to 2,600 characters. People often call either one their LinkedIn bio. This generator writes headline-length copy, which also works as a short bio for speaker pages, newsletters, or the opening line of your About section.
What should I put in my LinkedIn headline?
Your role, who you help, and the result you deliver. Add one or two keywords people would search to find someone like you, and a detail that proves you’re good at it, such as a number, a specialty, or a notable employer. Our LinkedIn headline examples above show how that fits together.
Can this generator write my LinkedIn About section?
Not the whole thing. It writes headline-length copy of up to 220 characters. A strong headline makes a great first line for your About section, though. Paste it in, then add a few sentences on your experience, your results, and how people can work with you.
Should I use emojis or hashtags in my LinkedIn headline?
Usually not. The generator leaves them out because most LinkedIn headlines read better without them, and they use up characters you could spend on keywords. If one emoji fits your personal brand, add it after you copy your headline.
How do I change my headline on LinkedIn?
Go to your profile, select the pencil icon on your intro section, replace the text in the Headline field, and select Save. Your new headline shows up on your profile, your posts, and your comments right away.
How do I get more than one headline idea?
Just click generate again. Each click writes a fresh headline from the same description, so you can compare a few and keep your favorite. Switching the tone, say from professional to witty, is a quick way to get a noticeably different result.

Your headline is ready. Now keep showing up.
