Twitter Character Counter & Thread Splitter

Twitter / X Character Limits

Twitter (now X) limits tweets to 280 characters. URLs count as 23 characters regardless of actual length. Emojis typically count as 2 characters.

Thread Best Practices

• Keep each tweet self-contained — readers may see only one part
• Hook in tweet 1, deliver in tweets 2–N, CTA at the end
• Numbering (1/5) helps readers follow the sequence
• Aim for 5–10 tweets max — shorter threads get more engagement
