LinkedIn Summary Generator

This LinkedIn summary generator writes two drafts of your About section from a few sentences in your own words. Each draft opens with who you help, stays under LinkedIn's 2,600 character limit and ends with what the reader should do next.

Free with a Hollerly account, no card: up to 10 runs a day. The AI only uses facts you give it, so it won't invent jobs or results.

LinkedIn about me generator: why your words come first

Most About sections sound alike because they start from a template. This LinkedIn about me generator starts from you: the "What do you do, and how?" box is where your voice comes from. Write it the way you'd explain your work to a friend, typos and all. The AI tidies it up without sanding off the personality.

Then add the details that make it credible: achievements you can back up, the skills people search for, and the next step you want readers to take.

LinkedIn profile summary generator: structure that works

Each draft from the LinkedIn profile summary generator follows a simple shape:

  1. A hook in the first two lines. LinkedIn only shows the start of your About section before "see more". Open with who you help and what changes for them, not "I am a results-driven professional".
  2. What you do and for whom, in two or three short paragraphs.
  3. Proof: the achievements you listed, nothing more.
  4. Specialties as a short plain list, so the keywords are there for search.
  5. A call to action: message me, book a call, see my featured posts.

Drafts land between about 1,000 and 1,800 characters. That's long enough to say something and short enough that people finish it. LinkedIn allows 2,600; check any edits with the LinkedIn character counter.

AI LinkedIn summary generator: first person or third?

The AI LinkedIn summary generator writes in first person by default ("I help..."). That's what most people expect on LinkedIn, and it reads warmer. Choose third person if your profile is for a public role where that's the norm.

Pick a tone too: warm and conversational, direct and confident, or polished and professional. All three follow the same rules: short sentences, no hype words, no emojis, no em dashes.

Example About section (first person, direct)

I help finance teams at fast-growing SaaS companies close the books in five days instead of fifteen. Most teams I meet are still reconciling in spreadsheets. I set up the systems and habits that make month-end boring, which is exactly what you want. Before going independent I ran FP&A at two venture-backed startups. Specialties: month-end close, NetSuite, revenue recognition, board reporting If your close takes more than a week, send me a message.

How to use the tool

  1. Create a free account or sign in.
  2. Enter your role and who should read your profile.
  3. Write a few sentences about what you do and how, in your own words.
  4. Add achievements, skills and a call to action if you have them. Pick first or third person and a tone.
  5. Click Write my About section. Copy the draft you prefer, edit it, and paste it into the About section on your profile.

Pair it with a sharp headline from the LinkedIn headline generator. Want a bold label or two? The LinkedIn text formatter works in the About section, but don't style your keywords.

A clear About section also helps your LinkedIn prospecting, because many people read it before they accept a connection request.

FAQ

+How long should a LinkedIn summary be?

LinkedIn allows 2,600 characters in the About section. Most strong summaries use 1,000 to 2,000 characters: a hook, a few short paragraphs, some proof and a clear next step. The first two lines matter most, because that's what shows before people click see more.

+Is the LinkedIn summary generator free?

Yes. It's free with a Hollerly account, which only needs an email, no card. You can run it up to 10 times a day and get two About section drafts each time. Nothing you enter is posted to LinkedIn; you copy the draft you like and paste it yourself.

+Will the AI make things up about me?

It's instructed not to. The generator only uses the role, story, achievements and skills you type in, and writes around anything missing. Still, read every line before you publish. If a sentence claims something you can't back up in a conversation, cut it.
