A long post on X (Twitter)
X (Twitter) does not fold the text behind "…more", so a 280-character post shows in full; the hard stop is 280 characters.
X username generator
Type a name or brand and get a set of common handle-pattern variations to try — "official", "hq", "get", "try", and a few others. This does not check live availability on any platform; confirm a handle is actually free before you commit to it. X (Twitter) posts take up to 280 characters.
How do you use the X username generator?
- Type your name or brand. Everything runs in your browser as you type — nothing is sent anywhere.
- Review the suggested patterns. Each suggestion pairs your name with a common handle pattern (a prefix, a suffix, a separator).
- Copy a handle you like. Click a suggestion to copy it, then check it against the platform directly before using it.
- Check real availability on the platform. This tool suggests patterns only — it does not check whether a handle is actually free, so confirm on the platform itself.
What are the X (Twitter) rules to know?
The limits SkedCast’s composer checks for X (Twitter) before a post goes out, read from the same rules table the composer uses.
| Text limit | 280 characters |
|---|---|
| How length is counted | Weighted: every link counts as 23 characters and emoji count double |
| Hashtags | No hashtag cap enforced |
| Where the caption is cut off in the feed | Not truncated in the feed |
| Text-only posts | Allowed |
| Links in the text | A pasted URL shows a link-preview card |
| First comment | Supported: SkedCast can post a first comment right after publishing |
| Feed crop | 16:9 in the feed preview |
| Images | up to 4 per post · JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF · max 5 MB each · aspect ratio 3:4 to 2:1 |
Good to know
- X has no native scheduling — SkedCast schedules and publishes X posts at the time you choose.
- X posts cannot exceed 280 characters (Premium long-form is not supported).
- X cannot mix media kinds — up to 4 images, OR 1 GIF, OR 1 video, never a combination.
- X supports at most 4 images, 1 GIF, or 1 video per post.
- X does not support document/PDF attachments.
What does it look like in practice?
One link in an X (Twitter) post
A 60-character URL counts as 23, so a post with 200 characters of text plus that link counts as 223 of 280.
