X thread split

Standard X posts allow 280 characters. This suggestion splits your draft at word boundaries and prefixes each part when copied.

Which social networks does the character counter check?

It checks X, X Premium long posts, Instagram captions and hashtags, TikTok captions, LinkedIn posts, Pinterest descriptions, YouTube titles and descriptions, Facebook posts, and common thread splits.

Does the counter send my text to a server?

No. The counter runs entirely in your browser. The text area updates the limits instantly without uploading your draft.

Why do some platforms show more than one limit?

Some networks have different limits by account type or surface. X has standard posts and Premium long posts, TikTok has legacy and expanded caption limits, and YouTube has separate title and description limits.

How does the X thread suggestion work?

The tool splits your draft into 280-character chunks so you can see how many standard X posts a longer draft would need.
