Twitter (X) Thread Maker

Paste an article, a note or a rant. The tool splits it into posts that fit X's limit without cutting sentences in half, numbers them, and lets you copy each one in order.

  • Splits at sentences, not mid-word
  • Counts like X does
  • Numbering 1/n or (1/n)
  • Nothing leaves your browser

How to turn long text into a thread

  1. Paste your text. Use blank lines between paragraphs if you want the split to respect them. Links and emoji are counted the way X counts them (23 and 2).
  2. Choose the limit and numbering. 280 for a standard account. Pick 1/n, (1/n) or no numbering. The numbering is reserved in the count so the posts still fit after it's added.
  3. Copy each post in order. Post the first one, then reply to it with the second, and so on. Each card has its own Copy button and turns green once copied so you don't lose your place.

How the splitter decides where to cut

It tries the gentlest break first. Paragraphs stay together when they fit. When a paragraph is too long, it breaks after a sentence. Only when a single sentence is longer than the limit does it break between words. Nothing is ever cut inside a word, and the numbering is reserved in advance so the final text still fits.

Each post is measured with X's weighted count, the same way our character counter does it: links cost 23, emoji cost 2, most letters cost 1.

What makes a thread get read

  • The first post is the whole game. It's the only part most people see. Make it a complete, specific claim, not an announcement that a thread follows.
  • One idea per post. If the splitter puts two ideas in one post, add a blank line between them in the source and it will separate them.
  • Reply to your own thread in order. Each part is a reply to the previous one, not to the first. That keeps the thread readable in the app.
  • Put the link last. A link in the first post predicts people leaving, which X's ranking model treats as a weak signal. Hooks first, links in the final post.
  • End with the ask. A follow, a repost of the first post, or a question that invites replies.

Threads and reach

X's open-source ranking code scores each post on predicted replies, reposts, dwell time and similar actions. A thread that keeps people reading produces dwell time on every part, which is why good threads often outperform single posts. It also means a thread with a weak opener goes nowhere, however good part six is. If you want the first post in front of more of the right people, that's what Twigor's promotion plans do.

Twitter threads: FAQ

How do I make a thread on X?

Post the first part, then reply to your own post with the next part, and keep replying to the latest one. You can also write them together in the composer with the plus button. Either way, each part has its own character limit.

How long should a thread be?

As long as the idea needs and no longer. Most threads that get shared are 5 to 12 posts. The first post decides whether anyone reads the rest, so put the strongest line there, not "A thread:".

Does the tool cut words in half?

No. It splits at paragraph breaks first, then at sentence ends, and only falls back to word boundaries when a single sentence is longer than the limit. Words are never cut.

Why does the counter say a post is shorter than it looks?

The tool uses X's weighted count: links count as 23 characters, emoji as 2, most other characters as 1. A post with two links can be 120 visible characters and still "cost" 166.

Should I number my thread posts?

Numbering helps readers who land in the middle find the start and know how much is left. 1/n is the common style. The tool reserves room for the number so the text still fits after it's added.

Can I use this for Threads, Bluesky or Mastodon?

Yes, by changing the limit. Threads allows 500 characters, Bluesky 300, most Mastodon servers 500. Those platforms count characters differently from X, so treat the result as close rather than exact.
