Frequently Asked Questions
What is Twitter's character limit?
Standard Twitter accounts have a 280 character limit per tweet. Twitter Blue subscribers can post up to 25,000 characters. Our tool supports both limits with a toggle switch.
How do URLs count toward the limit?
Twitter automatically shortens all URLs to 23 characters, regardless of their actual length. Our tool simulates this by counting each URL as 23 characters.
Do emojis count as one character?
No, on Twitter each emoji counts as 2 characters due to Unicode encoding. Our tool correctly accounts for this in the character count.
How does the thread splitter work?
When your text exceeds 280 characters (and you don't have Twitter Blue), we automatically split it into numbered tweets. Each tweet shows its position in the thread (e.g., '1/3', '2/3').
How many hashtags should I use?
For best engagement on Twitter/X, use 1-2 relevant hashtags. Using more can look spammy and reduce your reach. Our tool highlights when you exceed 2 hashtags.
