Twitter (X) Character Limit — How to Count Before You Post
Current X post length basics, Premium longer posts, and how to check character count free online.
Classic X posts sit near a 280-character ceiling for standard accounts. Premium tiers can allow much longer text.
Links, emoji, and spaces all count toward the total. Always check the final draft, not only the first idea.

Paste into a free character counter, then do one last check in the X composer — UI truncates on small screens.
wordcounter.co.in Platform Limits and home character pills help you draft once without guesswork.
