Character counter (multi-platform)

One paste, every limit

Most character counters check one platform at a time. Type for Twitter, switch tabs, type the same thing for LinkedIn, switch again for Threads. This counter shows every major platform in parallel — type once, see whether the same copy fits everywhere you want to publish it.

Limits cover the major social platforms, search-engine title and description fields, and email subject + preview text. Each platform has a visual progress bar so you can see at a glance whether you're under, near, or over.

Why platform limits change so often

Platform character limits move when the platform itself changes. X went from 140 to 280 in 2017 and added a 25,000-char Premium tier in 2023. LinkedIn pushed post length from 1,300 to 3,000. Threads launched at 500. The numbers above reflect the published 2026 limits — if a platform changes them, the progress bar updates next time we ship.

Tips for writing across multiple platforms

• Write to the smallest limit first. If you're posting the same thought to X, Threads, and LinkedIn, write the X version first (280 chars), then expand for the others. Easier than trimming a long post down.
• First-line discipline. Most platforms collapse posts after the first few lines and show a “more” link. Your first sentence has to stand alone.
• Mind the truncation point. On LinkedIn, the post truncates around 140 chars on mobile. On Threads, around 250. Whatever's after that gets a “…see more” — design accordingly.
