Tweet Character Counter
Count characters the way X (Twitter) does — 280 limit, links count as 23.
Counts a tweet the way X/Twitter does: the limit is 280, any link counts as 23 characters no matter its length, and CJK characters and most emoji count as 2. "Raw characters" is the plain count for comparison. Runs in your browser.
Count your tweet exactly the way X (Twitter) does. The limit is 280, but the count isn't a simple character count: any link counts as 23 characters regardless of length, and CJK characters and most emoji count as 2. This counter applies those rules and shows how many characters you have left. Runs in your browser.
How to use the Tweet Character Counter
- Type or paste your tweet.
- Watch the weighted length and remaining count.
- Trim until you're within 280.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my tweet count differently here than a normal counter?
X uses weighted counting: links always count as 23 characters (they're shortened to t.co), and CJK characters and emoji count as 2. A plain character counter ignores these rules.
What is the tweet character limit?
280 for standard accounts. (X Premium subscribers can post much longer, but 280 remains the limit for everyone else and for maximum reach.)
