X Articles are the closest thing X has to a blog: a proper title, a cover image, headings, lists and room to make an argument without chopping it into a thread. Until today, publishing one meant opening X, pasting a draft in and formatting it by hand.
As of today, PostEverywhere publishes X Articles. You can write one in the composer, create one through the API, or ask the AI assistant you have connected to PostEverywhere to publish one for you, and schedule it like any other post.

What shipped: X Articles, labels and X Communities
Three updates to how PostEverywhere publishes to X (Twitter):
- X Articles. Publish X's long-form format, with a title of up to 100 characters, a formatted body and a cover image, from the composer, the REST API or the MCP server.
- Disclosure labels. Mark a post "Made with AI" or "Paid partnership" with one toggle, and X shows the label on the published post.
- X Communities. Post straight into an X Community your account belongs to.
All three are on every plan. There is no add-on and no separate tier.
Already on PostEverywhere? Articles are in the composer now: start a new post and set the post type to X Article. New here? Every plan starts with a 7-day trial; a card is required to start it.
What an X Article is, and why it beats a thread
An X Article is a single long-form piece that lives on X: a title, a cover image and a formatted body that people read top to bottom, rather than a chain of short posts. X first launched Articles in March 2024 as a perk for Premium+ subscribers, as Social Media Today reported at the time, and in January 2026 opened them to all Premium subscribers. It is part of a wider push on long-form and creator features, alongside X's revamped creator subscriptions.
Long-form on X used to mean one of two compromises. A thread, ten posts stitched together, with most readers gone by the fourth. Or one very long post with no structure at all. Articles fix both. One title, one cover, headings to navigate by, and a single thing people can save and share.
That makes X a real home for work that already exists elsewhere. A LinkedIn post that did well. A newsletter issue. A blog post. You no longer have to shrink it into a thread to put it in front of your X audience, and if you already cross-post your short-form, the long-form now has somewhere to go too.
How to publish an X Article from PostEverywhere
There are three ways in, and they all end in the same place: an article in your calendar, publishing at the time you chose.
From the composer
Start a new post and set the post type to X Article. A title field appears above the editor, with a character counter. Select the X account to publish from, attach your cover as the first image, write the body, and schedule it. Articles publish to X only, so other accounts cannot be added to the same post.
From the API
PostEverywhere publishes through the official X API, so an article is just a normal POST /v1/posts request with two extra settings for X: post_type set to article, and a title. The first image in media_ids becomes the cover.
{
"account_ids": [123],
"media_ids": ["<cover image media id>"],
"scheduled_for": "2026-10-01T09:00:00Z",
"platform_content": {
"x": {
"content": "## Why we rebuilt onboarding\n\nThree things changed...",
"settings": { "post_type": "article", "title": "What 38 seconds taught us about onboarding" }
}
}
}
The full field reference, including validation errors, is in the X platform documentation. Articles are created one at a time; the bulk endpoint does not create them.
From your AI assistant
If you have connected Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another assistant to PostEverywhere through our hosted MCP server, which uses the open Model Context Protocol, you can ask for an article in plain language:
"Turn the blog post at example.com/launch into an X Article titled 'What we shipped this month', use the attached image as the cover, and schedule it for Thursday at 9am UK time."
The assistant writes the body, sets the article format and title, and schedules it. If you have not connected one yet, our guide to the AI assistants that can publish to social media covers how, assistant by assistant.
Proof it works
Before this launch, I published my first X Article entirely through the PostEverywhere API as the live test: "Our AI told a customer 'I can't'. She cancelled 38 seconds later." No copy and paste into X, no formatting by hand.
Formatting and cover images for X Articles
The body supports the formatting long-form actually needs:
- Headings, to break an article into sections
- Bullet and numbered lists
- Quotes
- Bold and italic
- Links
Cover image. The first image you attach becomes the cover. X displays covers at a 5:2 ratio, so 2000x800 pixels looks best. Video cannot be used in an article. If you need to resize an image, our X image resizer helps.
Title. Up to 100 characters. Write it like a headline, because it is the first thing people see in the feed.
Length. The body can run to 25,000 characters, which is roughly 4,000 words. Most good articles are a fraction of that.
X Article limits you should know about
- X Premium is required. X only lets Premium accounts publish articles. This is X's rule, not ours. If the account is not Premium, the post fails with a message saying so, and you can send the same content as a regular post or thread instead.
- One article per organisation every 24 hours. It is a fair-use limit on our side, checked when the article publishes. Failed attempts do not count, and standard posts and threads are not affected.
- X's own limit. X allows 10 article actions per account per 24 hours. You are unlikely to meet it with one article a day, but if you do, the post fails with the time the limit resets.
The practical upshot: schedule one strong article a day at most, from a Premium account, and it will go out like everything else in your content calendar.
Plan your long-form alongside everything else. Articles sit in the same calendar and queue as your posts on all top platforms, so one plan covers the week. See pricing: every plan includes X Articles.
Also new on X: disclosure labels and X Communities
Two smaller updates shipped alongside Articles. Both work on standard posts and threads, scheduled or immediate. On a thread they apply to the first post. They do not apply to articles.
Disclosure labels. Turn on "Made with AI" or "Paid partnership" in the composer and X shows the disclosure on the post. If your team uses AI to create content, or runs sponsored posts for clients, the label now goes on at the point of scheduling instead of being forgotten afterwards.
X Communities. Search for a community or paste its link when you compose, and the post goes straight into it. The connected account must already be a member.
What X Articles in PostEverywhere do not do yet
Being clear about the edges saves you finding them the hard way:
- No article preview yet. The X preview in the composer still shows the standard post card, not the article layout.
- No AI article writing inside PostEverywhere yet. The caption and AI Studio tools do not write articles in this release. A connected assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT can.
- No article analytics yet. Articles publish and appear in your calendar, but article-specific metrics are not in reports.
- Articles are text, formatting and a cover. We will add more of what X supports inside the body once each part has passed live testing.
We would rather ship the core well and say what is missing than promise things we have not tested.
FAQs about X Articles
Can I schedule X Articles?
Yes. PostEverywhere schedules X Articles like any other post, from the composer, the REST API or an AI assistant connected through the MCP server. The article publishes at the time you set.
Do I need X Premium to publish X Articles?
Yes. X only allows Premium accounts to publish articles. If the connected account is not Premium, the post fails with a message explaining why, and nothing is charged.
How many X Articles can I publish?
One published article per organisation in any rolling 24 hours, as a fair-use limit. X separately allows 10 article actions per account per 24 hours.
What size should an X Article cover image be?
2000x800 pixels, a 5:2 ratio, looks best. The first image attached to the article becomes the cover, and video cannot be used.
Can I post an X Article to other platforms at the same time?
No. An X Article publishes to X only, so other accounts cannot be in the same post. Post a summary with a link to the other platforms separately.
Can I publish X Articles through the API?
Yes. Send a normal create-post request with post_type set to article and a title in the X settings. The first image in media_ids becomes the cover. Bulk create does not support articles.
