How does the free LinkedIn headline generator work?

The free LinkedIn headline generator takes your job title, expertise, and target audience and produces five headline variations across five proven angles: Results-driven, I help formula, Authority, Niche, and Story. Each headline comes with a short explanation of why it works so you understand the strategy behind it.

Is the LinkedIn headline generator free with no login?

Yes, the LinkedIn headline generator is completely free and requires no account or login. Enter your role, optionally add your expertise and target audience, click Generate 5 Headlines, and your results appear in seconds. No signup, no watermark.

What are the five headline angles?

Results-driven headlines highlight a specific outcome you deliver. I help formula headlines name your audience and the problem you solve. Authority headlines position you as the go-to expert in your field. Niche headlines signal exactly who you serve and how. Story headlines use a brief narrative to build curiosity and make your profile memorable.

How long should a LinkedIn headline be?

LinkedIn displays up to 220 characters in your headline. The sweet spot is between 100 and 180 characters — long enough to include keywords and a value proposition, short enough to display fully on mobile. The headlines generated by this tool stay within that range.

Can I edit the generated headlines?

Yes. Copy any headline with the Copy button and paste it into your LinkedIn profile editor. From there you can tweak wording, add specific metrics, or blend elements from two different angles. The generated headline is a strong starting point — add your own voice and specific results to make it yours.
