Built for X's 280-character limit
X caps every post at 280 characters, counted by Unicode code point — the same way X itself counts, so an emoji or accented character measures as one character. Spaces, line breaks, punctuation, hashtags and mentions all count toward the total.
Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
Need every platform, not just X?
This page is scoped to X specifically. For a live count against every major platform at once — Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Threads and more — use the general character counter.
