Frequently asked questions
Why does my count differ from the character total?+
X weights links as 23 characters regardless of length, and counts CJK characters as two. The tool matches those rules.
How does thread splitting work?+
It breaks the text on word boundaries into ≤280-character parts and appends “1/n” markers.
Is the 280 limit the same for everyone?+
It is the standard limit. Paid tiers allow longer posts, but 280 is the safe target for maximum reach.
Is my draft uploaded?+
No. Counting runs in your browser.
