What is the Twitter character limit?

A standard tweet on X (formerly Twitter) has a 280-character limit. The tool includes a Twitter preset so you can check your text instantly.

Can I set a custom character limit?

Yes. Enter any number in the custom limit field to track your text against any target length.

Yes. By default the tool counts all characters including spaces, matching how most platforms count characters.

No hard limit. The tool runs entirely in your browser and handles large blocks of text without sending anything to a server.

Set a character, word or line limit and see live how much space you have left — with overflow highlight and instant stats.
