Frequently asked questions

Is the tweet character count the final publishing limit?

No. This is a local drafting counter. X can weight links and Unicode text differently, so check the final draft in the platform’s composer.

Can I count a reply or thread?

Check each post separately. A total for several pasted posts does not tell you whether each individual reply fits.

Does this post to X?

No. It only counts text in your browser.
