Character Counter: Fit Post Limits
Every letter matters in a 280-character post. This tool counts text in your browser, showing totals with and without spaces. Links and hashtags count too; paste them together. The counter updates live.
Step by step
- Copy the draft with links and tags.
- Paste and read the with-spaces count.
- Over 280? Shorten adjectives.
- Edit down below the limit.
- Verify in the platform editor, post.
Example scenario
A 312-character draft runs 32 over. Remove an adjective, shorten the link. At 276 characters it fits.
