About the X / Twitter Character Counter

Compare a draft post with a configurable planning limit while keeping the text entirely in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Enter the post text.
  2. Keep or adjust the planning limit.
  3. Review the simple character and URL counts before publishing.

Counting method

The tool counts visible grapheme clusters when supported and identifies basic http or https URL tokens.

Example

With a planning limit of 280, a 240-character draft reports an estimated 40 characters remaining.

Limitations

X can apply special URL weighting and change its rules. This estimate does not reproduce exact platform processing.
