Frequently Asked Questions
How many characters does Twitter / X allow?
Twitter (now X) allows 280 characters per tweet for standard accounts. Verified accounts with X Premium can post longer content. Use the 280 limit preset in this tool to track your tweet length.
How many characters does an SMS allow?
A standard SMS supports 160 characters using GSM-7 encoding (basic Latin characters). If you use special characters, emoji, or non-Latin scripts, it switches to UCS-2 encoding and the limit drops to 70 characters per segment.
Does this counter count spaces as characters?
Yes — the main character count includes spaces. The tool also shows a separate 'No Spaces' count so you can see both.
