X thread splitter
Paste a long text and get it back as a thread for X (Twitter). Posts are cut to fit the 280 character limit, counted the way X counts, between paragraphs, sentences and words. A word or link too long for one post is flagged.
How it works
- 01
Paste your text
Drop in an article, a draft or a list of ideas. To start a new post on purpose, put three dashes on a line of their own.
- 02
Choose the numbering
Turn numbering on to end each post with a counter like 1/5. The counter is counted in the length of its post.
- 03
Copy the posts
Copy each post on its own, or the whole thread at once, then post them one after the other on X.
What you get
- Cuts at paragraph breaks first, then sentence ends, then line breaks, then between words.
- Counts the way X does: a link weighs 23 characters, and emoji and Chinese, Japanese or Korean characters weigh 2.
- Shows each post with its own count, and marks any post that is over the limit.
- Free, no signup, and nothing you type is sent to a server.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a post on X (Twitter) be?
The standard limit is 280 characters, and that is the limit this tool splits for. X counts a link as 23 characters however long it is, and counts emoji and Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters as 2.
Where does it cut my text?
At a paragraph break when it can, then at the end of a sentence, then at a line break, then between words. It does not cut inside a word, a link, a mention, a hashtag or an emoji.
What happens to a word that is longer than a post?
It cannot be cut without breaking it, so it gets a post of its own and is marked as over the limit. Shorten or rewrite that part.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. The thread is built in your browser as you type. Nothing you type is sent to a server, and nothing is saved.
Let the writer draft the thread
SocialFaktory writes your X thread, you review it, and it posts when you schedule it.
