LinkedIn headline generator

Use this LinkedIn headline generator to write role and goal patterns. Choose seniority, check keywords and preview search or comments against a 220 character budget.

Free, no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent.

Your drafts

Add your role and one more detail, then generate drafts. Your headline shows under your name and in search results, so put the words people search for first.

Counts include spaces and line breaks. Platforms may count complex emoji differently. Confirm in the platform editor.

Build headline patterns from your role, seniority, audience and goal. Editable drafts use a conservative 220 character budget and show search and comment previews. Optional keyword checks explain whether a term appears before the first separator, later or nowhere. Templates use the facts and choices you supply, without profile view predictions or invented achievements.

How to use this tool

Describe your work
Enter your role as people search for it, such as Bookkeeper or Product designer. Add who you help, the result you help them reach, written to follow "I help them", and one piece of proof such as years of experience, a certification or a client you can name.
Compare the drafts
Choose a goal and seniority that match your situation. Each template needs certain fields, so filling more fields gives more drafts. Drafts within 220 characters come first, and longer ones show how many characters to cut.
Edit and paste
Edit any draft in place, copy it and paste it into the headline field of your LinkedIn profile. Search and comment previews use illustrative widths because LinkedIn does not publish fixed truncation thresholds. Keyword checks measure literal placement, not ranking.

Questions before you start

220 characters, the figure LinkedIn gives on its own Talent Blog. The help centre does not print a number, so check that LinkedIn accepts your final text. Put your role and audience first, where they stay visible when the headline is shortened.

It can be, though a title alone tells visitors little about who you work with. Adding the audience and a result helps the right people recognise you. Keep the job title people search for near the start, since the headline shows in search results.

No. It fills fixed templates with the words you type, so every claim in a draft is yours. It runs in your browser with no AI call and no LinkedIn connection.
