Why You'll Love It

Platform character limits are strict and unforgiving. Writing a perfect 300-character post only to have it rejected by X is frustrating. Statuz's real-time counter keeps you informed at every keystroke, letting you write right up to the limit without risk.

Pro Tips

• Write to the limit - the counter helps you maximize every post's impact
• Watch for yellow to know when to start wrapping up your thought
• When counter turns red, you're in the danger zone - finish your sentence quickly
• Use auto-split when you have more to say than one post allows
• Multi-platform posts show the most restrictive limit to ensure compatibility
• Remember: URLs count differently on X than the characters you see
• Emoji count as characters - some complex emoji count as 2+ characters
• Plan threads when you know you'll exceed limits from the start
