When to use it
Use it for short posts, thread drafts, launch updates, announcements, or compact writing where every character starts billing rent.

What this tool does
X/Twitter Character Counter counts characters, words, URLs, and approximate 280-character chunks, with an optional long-post mode.
How it works
Paste text, choose the limit mode, and review remaining characters plus an approximate thread chunk count.
Useful for
- Drafting 280-character posts.
- Estimating thread length.
- Checking URL-heavy social copy.
Limitations
This is an estimate. Platform counting rules, URL treatment, and paid-account limits may change.
Questions before the button mashing
Does it exactly match X/Twitter?
No. It is intentionally honest: useful guidance, not a platform-certified counter.
Can I use long-post mode?
Yes. The 25,000-character mode is available, while 280 remains the default.
