Understanding Twitter/X Limits

Twitter (now X) allows 280 characters per tweet. Use our character counter to:

  • Check thread consistency
  • Optimize hashtag placement
  • Balance text and emojis

Pro Tips for Better Tweets

  1. Leave 20-character buffer for retweets
  2. Use abbreviations wisely:
    • "Info" instead of "Information"
    • "&" instead of "and"
  3. Place links early in the tweet

Real-World Example

Bad: "Check out this amazing new feature we've been working on for months! 🚀 #excitingnews" (127 chars)

Good: "New feature launched! 🚀 Streamline your workflow → [link] #productivity" (86 chars)
