Free AI LinkedIn Roast
Your LinkedIn
is a cry for help.
Paste it in. We count the rocket emojis, rate your headline, and tell you exactly which line made a recruiter scroll past.
What You'll Get
A full diagnostic in about 20 seconds.
Cringe Level
A single evocative rating for your profile's overall thought-leader energy. “Biohazard” is a possible outcome.
Headline Verdict
The headline is the hook. We tell you if yours is doing its job, or if it's eight buzzwords held together by vertical bars.
Concrete Fixes
Specific rewrites you can actually use. Not vague “add more personality” advice.
What gets judged, in the order it gets read
A recruiter often meets your profile in a search results list before they ever open it. That changes which parts matter: the headline is doing the work before anyone has decided to click, and the first few lines of your About section are all that show before “see more.” We grade in that order.
The headline is a search result, not a job title
LinkedIn defaults your headline to your current title and company, which is the least useful thing it could say. It appears next to your name in every search result, every comment, and every connection request. It is probably the most-read text you own on the platform.
A headline earns its space by naming what you do and the specifics someone would search for. “Senior Data Analyst” is a title. “Senior Data Analyst: SQL, dbt, and turning messy retail data into forecasts people actually use” is a headline.
The About section truncates after a few lines
Everything past roughly three lines sits behind a “see more” link that many readers never click. So the opening has to be a hook, not a warm-up, and it should be written in first person, because this is the one place on the internet where you get to sound like a person rather than a document. We flag About sections that open with a job title or a string of adjectives.
Buzzwords and emoji
LinkedIn has a dialect (“thought leader,” “passionate about,” “driving impact,” rocket emojis punctuating every line), and it is now so common it reads as noise. We count it. Some personality is good; a profile that sounds like an engagement bot is not.
Your LinkedIn is not your resume
Pasting your resume into LinkedIn is a common mistake, and the two documents have genuinely different jobs. A resume is targeted at one role and written for someone you approached. A profile is permanent, public, and read by people who found you. We wrote the full comparison in LinkedIn profile vs resume, with the About section covered separately in LinkedIn About section examples.
The Open to Work question
The green photo frame is public and genuinely divides opinion; the recruiters-only setting is invisible to your network and carries none of that risk. Employed and being discreet: use recruiters-only. Openly looking: the visible banner reaches more people, recruiters and your network alike. Full argument on both sides in is the Open to Work badge helpful or harmful.
Questions people ask
Is the LinkedIn roast free?
Yes. Paste your profile text or upload a PDF export and get a grade, a cringe level, a headline verdict, line-by-line notes, and concrete fixes. No signup.
How do I get a PDF of my LinkedIn profile?
On your profile, open the "More" menu under your header and choose "Save to PDF". LinkedIn generates a full export in a few seconds. You can also just copy and paste your headline, About section, and experience. That's most of what gets judged anyway.
What does it actually check?
The headline first, because it's what appears next to your name in search results. Then your About section (whether it opens with a hook or with your job title), plus buzzword density, emoji use, and whether your experience entries carry evidence or adjectives.
Should my LinkedIn just be my resume pasted in?
No, and it's a common mistake. A resume is a targeted document written for one role; LinkedIn is a permanent, public, first-person profile read by people who found you rather than the other way round. The About section in particular should read like you talking, not like a summary statement.
Does the "Open to Work" banner hurt me?
The green photo frame is public and divides opinion; the recruiters-only setting is invisible to your network and carries no such risk. If you're employed and discreet, use the recruiters-only version. If you're openly looking, the visible banner reaches more people, recruiters and your network alike.
Will you keep my profile text?
The result page is stored for 7 days so the share link works, then it's deleted. We don't train models on it and we don't share it.
Resume and cover letter too?
If LinkedIn is rough, the rest of your job-search stack deserves a look.
