The best free character counter for social media checks your draft against the limits of every platform at once, instead of making you look each limit up. A browser-based counter measures your text against X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Threads and Bluesky as you type, and your draft never leaves your device.
Count your text against every social media limit at once: X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Threads and Bluesky.
Open Multi Platform Character Counter → Free toolFree tweet character counter that respects X limits, counts each URL as 23 characters, and shows how many tweets long text needs.
Open Tweet Character Counter →Every platform draws the line in a different place, and some count things in non-obvious ways, so the raw character number alone does not tell you whether a post fits. A counter built for social media shows the same draft against each platform limit side by side, so you can see at a glance where it fits and where it needs a trim.
The multi-platform counter checks your text against X, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Threads and Bluesky at the same time, live as you type. For X specifically, a dedicated tweet counter also counts each URL as 23 characters the way the platform does, and shows how many tweets a longer text would need. Both run in your browser, so unpublished drafts are never uploaded.

Yes. The tweet counter counts each URL as 23 characters, matching how X measures them.
