Even with Premium's 25,000-character posts, only the first 280 characters appear in the timeline before "Show more" โ€” so the hook still has to land in the first two lines. For reach, a numbered thread of tight 280-character tweets often beats one long post; the splitter above builds it for you.

FAQ

What is the X (Twitter) character limit?
280 on a free account. X Premium allows up to 25,000, but only the first 280 show in the timeline before "Show more".
Bio, display name, and handle limits?
Bio 160, display name 50, username (@handle) 15. Switch modes above to count against each.
How does the thread splitter work?
It breaks your text on word boundaries into chunks that each fit 280 characters (reserving room for optional (1/n) numbering), so you can post them as a connected thread.
Do you store what I type?
No โ€” everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved.
