X (Twitter) Thread Maker & Preview

Paste a long post, an article intro or your notes. The tool splits the text into numbered posts at the end of sentences, keeps each one under X's 280-character limit, and shows the result as a thread. Edit any post, then copy them one at a time or all together.

Square works best

Thread preview

Paste some text to see it as a thread.

"Copy all" puts a --- line between posts so you can paste them one at a time.

How the splitter works

Where it splits

Sentence ends

It fills each post with whole sentences, and starts a new post at a paragraph break once the current one is half full.

How it counts

X's rules

Links count as 23, and emoji and CJK characters as 2, the same as X's composer.

Numbering

1/5, 2/5…

The label and the line break before it count toward 280, and the splitter leaves room for them.

Long sentences

Word breaks

A sentence too long for one post is split between words.

Making a thread people finish

The first post is the only one most people see in their timeline, so put the point of the thread there, not a warm-up. After that, one idea per post is easier to read than a paragraph cut in half, which is why this tool splits at sentence ends rather than at exactly 280 characters.

Numbering helps once a thread runs past three or four posts, because readers can see how much is left. If you'd rather not number, switch it off and the splitter uses the extra room for text.

How to use

Make a thread in 4 steps

1

Paste your text

Drop in anything long. The thread builds as you type.

2

Pick a numbering style

Put 1/5 at the end, at the start, or leave numbers off.

3

Edit the posts

Change any post by hand. Each counter includes the number label, so what you see is what X counts.

4

Copy and post

In X's composer, paste the first post, press + to add the next, and repeat. Then post them all at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about this feature.

Paste it into the thread maker. It breaks the text at the end of sentences, keeps every post under 280 characters and numbers them. Then edit, copy and post.

Yes. A label like 3/12 plus the line break before it uses about 7 characters. The splitter leaves room for it, and each post's counter includes it.

A long post needs Premium and shows about 280 characters before Show more. A thread works on any account and lets people reply to each point separately.

Paste the first post into X's composer, press the + button to add the next one, and repeat. When every post is in, post them all at once.

No. Splitting and previewing happen in your browser. Nothing is stored on a server, and the text is gone when you close the tab.
