The Threads post limit

A Threads post can be up to 500 characters, and you can add links, images and video. Longer thoughts are usually split into a chain of replies to your own post.

How to write a Threads post

Questions and opinions get replies, and replies are what spreads a post on Threads. Keep the first sentence strong, because long posts are shortened in the feed.

Questions

What is the Threads post character limit?

500 characters. Longer thoughts go in a chain of replies.

Can I post links on Threads?

Yes. Links are clickable and show a preview card.

How do I post something longer than 500 characters on Threads?

Reply to your own post to continue it as a thread.

Do spaces and emoji count?

Spaces and punctuation count as one character each. This checker counts each visible character once, so an emoji counts as one.

Is my text stored or sent anywhere?

No. The counting happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
