What is a Twitter Character Counter?

A Twitter character counter is an online tool that measures the length of your tweet or X post before you publish it. It counts letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation, emojis, and line breaks so you can see whether your post fits within the expected limit.

This tool is also useful as a character counter for Twitter, X character counter, tweet counter, and Twitter word count checker. It helps writers, creators, marketers, social media managers, and business owners create better posts without manual counting.

Tweet Character Count

A good tweet is usually short, readable, and easy to understand. With this tweet character counter, you can track your post length while writing and avoid editing your text after publishing.

You can use it to write announcements, promotional posts, replies, threads, social captions, and short updates. The live counter helps you see your Twitter character count and remaining characters instantly.

Twitter/X Character Limit Breakdown

Twitter/X uses different length limits for different parts of your profile and messages. The most common limits are:

• Standard Tweets / Posts: commonly 280 characters
• Profile Bio: commonly 160 characters
• Direct Messages: commonly up to 10,000 characters
• Profile Name: commonly 50 characters
• Username / Handle: commonly 15 characters

Using our online Twitter counter makes it easier to draft content for different limits without guessing or manually counting every character.

Tweet Word Count vs Tweet Character Count

Tweet character count and tweet word count are different. Character count measures every letter, space, number, symbol, punctuation mark, emoji, and line break. Word count measures how many words are included in your tweet.

Twitter/X limits are usually based on characters, not words. That is why a tweet with fewer words can still exceed the limit if it contains long words, many emojis, links, or extra spaces.
