How a good LinkedIn headline is built
Your headline is the line under your name on your profile and in LinkedIn search results. Recruiters read it first when they search, and the default "Job title at Company" rarely says what you are good at.
A pattern that works: job title + where you work (if you do) + what sets you apart. That last part can be a field ("Healthcare"), two or three skills, or one result with a number. Separate the parts with " | " or " · ".
Use the words people search for. "Product Designer | Figma · User Research" is found far more often than "Design enthusiast".
What you type stays on your device
The text is written by code on this page, in your browser. Nothing in the form is sent to a server or saved, and it is gone when you close the page. We only count that the tool was used and what was copied (a headline or the About section), never the text.
Frequently asked questions
Is the LinkedIn headline generator really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no usage limit, and there is no paid version of this tool.
Does it use AI?
No. The text is built with rules, only from what you type in the form. It never adds a title, a number or a skill you did not give; the parts we cannot know are left as [bracketed blanks].
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
LinkedIn allows 220 characters for the headline and 2,600 for the About section. The tool shows the length of every option and does not suggest headlines over the limit.
Should my headline include my employer?
If you are employed, usually yes: it tells a recruiter where you work at a glance. If you are looking for work, your field and strongest skills do more than an empty employer slot.
Should I write "open to work" in my headline?
You can, but the headline’s job is to make you findable, and "open to work" is not something recruiters search for. Use LinkedIn’s Open to Work setting and let the headline say what you do.
We can write these from your resume too
Build your resume in AlderCV and its LinkedIn tool drafts the headline and About section from all of it: years of experience counted from your dates, your bullets with numbers and your certifications. Free. With Pro, AI can polish the draft.
