How do I split long text into a tweet thread?

Paste your text into Thread Maker — it splits it into numbered, tweet-sized posts at sentence boundaries, ready to copy.

How does the thread maker split my text?

It fills each post up to the character limit, preferring to break at the end of a sentence, then at a comma or space, so posts read naturally. Every part is numbered like 1/8, and that numbering is counted inside the limit so no part ever overflows.

Can I use a different character limit?

Yes. The default is 280 for X, but you can set a custom limit, for example 500 for Threads, and the splitter re-plans the whole series with numbering included.

Does the thread maker post the thread automatically?

No. The tool prepares and numbers the posts; you publish them yourself on X or Threads.

// THREAD MAKER · ABOUT THIS TOOL

About the Thread Maker

This free thread maker turns a long draft into a series of posts for X and Threads, packing your text into the real character limit, breaking at sentences wherever possible, and numbering each part.

Links are weighted the way the platforms count them, so what you copy is what fits. Write once in a normal editor, then post the whole thread in a minute.

Where it helps most

The places on X where depth earns more than a single tweet.

Announce a launch

A founder announcing a launch can walk through the problem, the product and the offer across eight tweets instead of one.

Share a how-to

A writer sharing a how-to gives each step its own tweet, which also makes each step quotable and shareable on its own.

Lay out an argument

Analysts and commentators can lay out an argument with evidence in sequence, rather than shouting a conclusion with no reasoning.

Earn more follows

Threads like these earn more profile visits and follows than single tweets, because each tweet in the chain is another entry point.

Threads that get read

Structure choices that make long threads work.

Hook the first tweet

A hook that promises value or sparks curiosity in one or two lines earns the tap to expand the thread.

Break at boundaries

Your draft is split carefully at natural word and sentence boundaries, so no thought ever gets chopped in half mid-sentence.

Check the order

Review the full sequence and rearrange tweets so the flow reads the way you want, then check the order once more before copying.

Thread Maker: built for trust

What was a fifteen-minute formatting chore becomes a paste, a glance and a copy, with numbering that follows your final order.
