How long can each tweet in a thread be?

Each tweet in a thread can be up to 280 characters long. The X Thread Maker includes a real-time character counter for each tweet, turning yellow at 240 characters and red at 280 to help you stay within the limit.

What is the 1/n format in X threads?

The 1/n format shows tweet number and total thread length (e.g., "1/5" means tweet 1 of 5). This helps readers understand thread length and navigate multi-tweet stories. The X Thread Maker automatically numbers your thread when you copy it.

Can I reorder tweets in my thread?

Yes. The X Thread Maker includes Move Up and Move Down buttons for each tweet, allowing you to easily reorder your thread before copying. Thread numbering automatically updates as you reorder.

What thread templates are available?

The X Thread Maker includes 4 templates: Story Thread (3 tweets), How-To Thread (5 tweets), Opinion Thread (4 tweets), and Listicle Thread (5 tweets). Each template pre-fills placeholder text to help you get started quickly.

How do I copy my finished thread?

Click the "Copy Entire Thread" button to copy all tweets with numbering (e.g., "1/5", "2/5"). You can then paste the thread into X and post each tweet sequentially as replies to build your thread.

Is the X Thread Maker free?

Yes, the X Thread Maker is 100% free with no signup required. Create unlimited threads, use all templates, and copy as many times as you need, completely free.

Why use X threads?

Higher Engagement: Threads get 3x more engagement than single tweets because they tell a complete story and keep readers scrolling through your content.

Algorithmic Boost: X's algorithm rewards threads because each tweet in the thread is a new engagement opportunity. More replies = more reach.

Thought Leadership: Threads let you share deeper insights than a 280-character tweet allows, positioning you as an expert in your niche.

Thread best practices

Start with a hook

Your first tweet should grab attention and promise value. Use numbers, bold claims, or questions to stop the scroll.

One idea per tweet

Don't cram multiple points into one tweet. Each tweet should advance the narrative with a single, focused idea.

End with a CTA

Always close with a call-to-action: ask a question, request a retweet, or invite replies. Engagement drives reach.
