X Post Character Counter
Paste an X post draft and check its characters, words, hashtags, and links before publishing. The text is processed in your browser.
Up to 5 checks per tool, per 24 hours from the same IP address. Refreshing a result counts as another check.
See the whole post before publishing
Count what you wrote and scan the number of links and hashtags. X applies its own display and account rules, so use its composer for the final posting limit.
Local calculation
Your draft stays in your browser; no text is submitted to us.
Useful editing counts
The result shows characters, words, hashtags, and HTTP or HTTPS links.
No false limit claim
This is a Unicode character count, not an official X posting-limit verdict.
Check your X post draft
Paste your final wording, including links and hashtags.
Paste your text
Use the full post draft rather than only the opening line.
Review the counts
Check links and hashtags alongside the character total.
Confirm in X
Paste into X and use its composer for the authoritative limit.
Use counts to make a post clearer
The counter is a drafting aid. It tells you how much text is present, while you decide whether the first sentence gives readers a reason to keep reading.
Trim the opening first
If the count feels high, check the first line before removing useful context. Move the point of the post to the start, cut repeated phrases, and let the link or image support the claim instead of restating it.
Check links separately
The result counts the characters you pasted, including the visible URL. X may transform links in its composer, so do not treat the raw count here as an official publishability test.
Make hashtags earn their place
A tag can help label a topic, but a string of tags can interrupt a sentence. The hashtag count is a prompt to reread the draft, not a recommended target.
About this free tool
Does this enforce the X character limit?
No. X may apply special link counting and account-specific limits. Its composer is the final check.
Does my draft leave the browser?
No. Only the security check and daily-use counter contact our server.
Can I count links?
Yes. The result detects HTTP and HTTPS links in the draft.
