About X / Tweet Preview

X / Tweet Preview is a free, private browser tool by Digital Heroes for composing and checking posts before you publish. It counts characters using X's actual weighted rules: URLs always cost 23 characters, most emoji and CJK characters cost 2. Long posts are split into a numbered thread automatically. A live card lets you preview exactly how the post looks, in light or dark mode, with a custom name, handle, and engagement numbers. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. No sign-up is needed, and the tool works offline once loaded.
