X (Twitter) Character Counter

About X (Twitter) Character Limits

X (formerly Twitter) has a strict 280-character limit per post. This constraint encourages concise, punchy communication and has become a defining feature of the platform's culture. Effective X posts make every character count. The best tweets are clear, engaging, and often include a call-to-action or question to drive engagement. Using threads allows you to expand on ideas while keeping each post digestible.
