Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All 45 tools are free to use, with no trial and no paywall on downloads. The site is kept free by optional donations (Buy Me a Coffee) and by ads.

No. Every tool works without signing up. A free account is optional: it saves your tool data to your account so you can pick up where you left off on another device.

No. LinkedinForge never asks for your LinkedIn login and can't post or change anything on LinkedIn. You create the text or image here, then copy or download it and add it to LinkedIn yourself.

No. LinkedinForge is an independent website. LinkedIn is a trademark of LinkedIn Corporation, which doesn't endorse or sponsor this site.

Yes. The site works in mobile browsers on phones and tablets. For longer jobs such as editing a CV, a bigger screen is easier, but it isn't required.

Use the contact page and choose the subject that fits. Bug reports with the tool name and what you expected to happen are the quickest to fix.

Write and check your headline and About section, create posts, hooks and hashtags, write connection requests, messages and InMail, build a CV and cover letter, match your CV to a job's keywords, track job applications and interviews, and design banners and images.

LinkedIn allows 220 characters for a headline, 2,600 for the About section, 3,000 for a post and 1,250 for a comment. Our tools count characters as you type and warn you before you go over.

On a free LinkedIn account a note can be up to 200 characters, and you can add a personal note to a limited number of invitations each month. On Premium the limit is 300 characters. The Connection Request Generator keeps every note inside the limit you choose.

An InMail subject can be up to 200 characters and the message up to 1,900. The InMail Generator checks both.

Yes. The CV Generator has 10 templates and saves a real-text PDF through your browser's print dialog (choose “Save as PDF”), so recruiters and applicant tracking systems can read and search the text. Downloads have no watermark.

The PDF contains real, selectable text with standard section headings, which applicant tracking systems can read. For online applications, single-column templates such as Classic, Minimal or Corporate are the safest choice.

Yes. Most tools save what you type in your browser automatically. If you're signed in, it's also saved to your account. The Data Backup tool lets you download all of it as one file and restore it on another browser.

The generators work from your inputs with templates and rules, so they run instantly without any AI service. Some tools have an optional “Improve with AI” button: it uses your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini or OpenRouter, and the request goes straight from your browser to that provider.

Treat it as a strong first draft. Where a tool needs a detail it doesn't have, it leaves a visible [placeholder] instead of inventing one. Fill those in, check every fact, and make it sound like you before you post or send it.

Tools run in your browser. What you type is stored in your browser so it's still there next time. If you sign in, your saved tool data is also stored in your account so it can sync between devices. If you use “Improve with AI”, that text is sent to the AI provider you picked, using your key.

To understand which pages and tools people use, we record each page view with the page address, the device and browser type, where the visit came from, and the IP address with the approximate city and country it maps to. We don't record what you type into the tools. We also use Google Analytics, and ads may be shown by Google AdSense; the cookie banner lets you decline non-essential cookies.

Data saved in your browser is removed when you clear the site's data in your browser. To delete your account and the tool data saved to it, contact us from the email address on the account.

Your CV stays in your browser unless you're signed in (then it's saved to your account) or you use the optional AI button. Even so, leave out things a CV doesn't need, such as ID numbers or your full home address.

Your tool data is saved to your account as well as your browser, so it's there on any device you sign in on. You can still use every tool without one.

If the tools help you, a coffee through the Buy Me a Coffee button keeps the site free. Telling a friend or sharing a tool helps too.
