Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our AI-powered tools
Twitter counts every character in your tweet, including letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation. URLs are counted as 23 characters regardless of their actual length. Emojis typically count as 2 characters each.
Tweets between 71-100 characters typically get 17% more engagement than longer tweets. Keeping tweets under 250 characters leaves room for retweets with comments and increases shareability.
Yes, hashtags and @mentions count toward your 280-character limit. Each character in the hashtag or username counts, including the # and @ symbols.
Most emojis count as 2 characters due to how they're encoded. Some complex emojis (like flags or emojis with skin tones) may count as more. Our tool accurately counts emoji characters.
Twitter won't let you post tweets over 280 characters. You'll need to edit your content, create a thread, or use Twitter's new long-form posts feature if you have access to it.
