Type or paste your draft. Counts update immediately as you edit.
Compare character budgets for supported platforms. X uses its own weighted count for links and emoji.
Shorten the draft where needed, then copy, download, or open the visual post preview.
Spaces, punctuation, and line breaks contribute to a post’s length. The general character count uses Unicode code points; visible symbols and the platform’s internal count can differ for combined emoji or special text.
X applies weighted counting rather than a simple string length. URLs use a fixed allowance, and many characters, including emoji, have different weights. This tool uses the twitter-text parser for the standard 280-character post budget. Premium long-post allowances are not included.
A draft that fits exactly may exceed the budget after adding a link, mention, or hashtag. Review the final text in the publishing composer. The comparison here covers ordinary posts, not bios, ads, articles, or every account-specific exception.
Yes. The character count includes spaces and line breaks. Word count is shown separately and is based on whitespace-separated text.
X counts URLs and some Unicode characters using special rules. The weighted count can therefore be shorter or longer than the general character count.
No. This tool measures the text while you edit it. You can use the AI caption generator to create a shorter alternative.
Counting happens locally in your browser. Your text is not sent to an AI provider or saved to a Postly content database by this tool.
