About this tool
The Twitter (X) Character Counter mirrors the exact character weighting used by X, so you can draft tweets with confidence. It handles CJK weighting, URL shortening, and emoji counts.
Features
Real-time counting, progress bar, warning before the 280 limit, support for mixed Japanese and English text, and correct URL length handling.
Use cases
Drafting marketing tweets, writing bilingual posts, scheduling content, and trimming long messages to fit within the character cap.
Why this tool
Generic counters do not know X rules. This tool replicates them faithfully so you never accidentally exceed the limit when posting.
