What counts toward 220
Every character in the headline field: letters, digits, punctuation, spaces, emoji, pipe dividers. Line breaks are not supported.
Formats that fit 220
- Role at Company | Value prop | Personality hint
- Job title | Industry keyword | What you help with | Proof
- Avoid stacking more than three pipe-separated segments; it reads noisy.

Common questions
Was the limit 120?
LinkedIn moved the headline field to 220 characters in 2021. If a tool still shows 120, it is out of date.
Where does the headline show truncated?
Search results, connection request cards, and the top of message threads all show the first 40 to 60 characters.
