One box. Every platform tells you at once.
Paste a caption and see which network it breaks first. Limits come from the same rules Antwork publishes with, and X is counted the way X counts it — most non-Latin characters weigh two, and any link costs 23 whatever its length.

X is the only platform here that weights characters. Everything else counts code points, so what you see is what it gets.
Why Character Count Matters
Each social media platform has specific character limits designed to encourage concise, engaging content. Staying within these limits ensures your message is displayed properly and reaches your audience as intended.
Understanding character limits helps you craft more effective posts, avoid truncation, and optimize your content strategy for each platform.
How to Write Effective Twitter/X Threads
- 01Start with a hook that grabs attention in the first tweet
- 02Keep each tweet focused on one main point
- 03Use numbered tweets (1/10, 2/10) to show thread length
- 04End with a call-to-action (follow, retweet, visit link)
- 05Add relevant hashtags to the last tweet for better reach
- 06Use line breaks to improve readability
- 07Preview your thread before posting to check flow
Character Count Tips
- 01Links count as 23 characters on X, regardless of actual length
- 02Mentions (@username) count toward character limit
- 03Hashtags (#) count as characters, use them wisely
- 04Emojis typically count as 1-2 characters depending on type
- 05Save space by using abbreviations where appropriate
- 06Break long content into multiple posts or threads
