Reference & details

How it works

Destination-specific counting

The editor reuses the maintained publishing counter, including X weighted characters and URL handling, documented API field limits and explicitly chosen custom units.

Current comparison

Run Check publishing length after editing. Large text runs in a background worker; a changed draft cannot export an outdated result.

Complete saved draft

Manual browser saving and JSON backup preserve the full text, destination, budget and counting unit. The report includes the checked text and comparison notes.

Example Scenarios

Load the example post, run the check and review the weighted count and recognized URL contribution before verifying the final composer.

Select a personal limit and count unit, then review the result without inferring a platform limit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using UTF-16 length for every platform

Select the actual destination. Weighted characters, code points, grapheme clusters and bytes can differ.

Leaving disclosures or links outside the draft

Count the complete message; no automatic hashtag reserve is added.

FAQ

No. The editor distinguishes weighted X characters, Unicode code points, UTF-16 code units, grapheme clusters and UTF-8 bytes as appropriate.

No. Paste the complete text so the actual hashtags, links and disclosures are counted.

No. Check the final text and account-specific requirements in the actual destination composer.

About Social Publishing Length and Draft

Count a complete publishing draft using an explicit destination field or your own writing budget. X weighting, Unicode units and UTF-8 bytes are distinct. Save drafts manually, restore JSON backups and download a report only for the current checked text and settings.
