    Frequently asked questions

    How many characters in a tweet?

    Standard tweet (free): 280 characters. With X Premium: 4,000. Paste your text and watch the Tweet bar — turns red when you cross the limit.

    Are emojis counted as 1 character?

    Yes. We use Array.from() which respects Unicode code points. Twitter actually counts most emojis as 2 chars internally — verify on Twitter's dashboard for exact submission count.

    Reading time calculation?

    200 words/min for silent reading (adult average). 130 wpm for speaking (slower, natural speech). Useful for podcast/presentation duration estimates.

    Does counting include trailing whitespace?

    Yes — every character including spaces, tabs, newlines counts toward total. "No spaces" metric strips them.

    Is there a max length?

    Browser-dependent. Comfortable up to ~1MB of text (a few hundred thousand words). Beyond that, paste might lag.
