How to Use the Twitter Character Counter
Simply type or paste your text in the box above. The counters will update in real-time, showing you the character count for different Twitter elements. When you go over a limit, the counter turns red to alert you.
Standard tweets allow up to 280 characters. If you have Twitter Premium (formerly Twitter Blue), you can post tweets with up to 25,000 characters.
Yes, but Twitter shortens all links to 23 characters, regardless of their original length. This helps save space in your tweets.
Twitter won't allow you to post tweets that exceed the character limit. Our counter shows when you've gone over the limit by turning red, so you can edit your text before posting.
Twitter limits are based on characters, not words. However, an average English word is about 5 characters, so a 280-character tweet typically contains around 50-60 words.
