Twitter Character Counter: Everything You Need to Know
If you’re active on Twitter, you already know how important it is to stay within Twitter’s character limits. Whether you’re writing tweets, crafting a bio, or setting your profile name, every character counts. To help with this, we’ve built a free Twitter Character Counter that makes writing easier and stress-free.
What is the Twitter Character Counter?
The Twitter Character Counter is a simple online tool that instantly counts the number of characters and words in your tweet. It also shows you how many characters you have left. But that’s not all — this tool also checks other Twitter limits:
- Direct Messages (DM): Maximum 10,000 characters
- Bio: Maximum 160 characters
- Username: Maximum 15 characters
- Profile Name: Maximum 50 characters
As you type, you can see live counters for each of these limits. If you go over the limit, the counter turns red, so you know exactly when to adjust your text. You can also count sentences with the help of sentence counter.
How Does It Work?
Using this tool is very easy:

- Write your tweet in the main text box.
- As you type, the tool automatically counts your characters and words.
- It shows the remaining tweet characters out of Twitter’s 280-character limit.
- It also shows how your text fits within other limits, like DM or bio.
- If you go over any limit, the counter changes color to red so you can fix it immediately.
- You can clear your text anytime with the Clear Tweet button.
- When you’re happy with your tweet, click Post Tweet — it will open Twitter with your text ready to publish!
Why Should You Use It?
Twitter has strict limits, and going over them means your tweet won’t post, or your bio might get cut off. This tool saves time and frustration by showing you exactly how much space you have left. It’s perfect for:
- Social media managers
- Businesses
- Personal accounts
- Anyone who wants to craft perfect tweets
