Twitter Character Counter
A Twitter/X character counter shows exactly how many characters your tweet uses against the 280-character limit as you type. Paste or write your text and watch the live count, with a clear warning the moment you go over. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you type is sent anywhere.

What is the Twitter character limit?
A standard tweet allows up to 280 characters. URLs are shortened by t.co and generally count as 23 characters regardless of the link's real length.
Do emojis count as more than one character?
Many emoji and some non-Latin scripts count as two characters on Twitter/X. This counter reports the raw character length of your text so you can plan around the 280-character cap.
