This takes one long piece of writing and breaks it into a numbered sequence of shorter chunks that each fit within a character limit you set, splitting only at word boundaries so nothing gets cut off mid word. Built for turning a fully drafted long thought into a ready to post thread without manually counting characters.
How to use it
- Paste your full, unsplit text.
- Set the character limit per post, 280 by default.
- Read the numbered list of posts generated below, each within your limit.
- Check the post count to see how many posts the thread will take.
- Copy each post individually as you publish the thread.
When it helps
- Turning a long form idea you've already written into a ready to post thread.
- Adapting a blog excerpt into thread format for sharing.
- Splitting a detailed update into a readable sequence instead of one oversized post.
- Checking how many posts a long piece will actually take before committing to publish it as a thread.
- Preparing thread content for different platforms by adjusting the limit field.
Good to know
- Leave a little room under the hard limit if you plan to manually add numbering like 1 of 8, since that itself takes up characters.
- Read through the split result before posting. It keeps words whole, but you might still want to adjust where a natural pause falls.
- Consider starting the first post with a strong hook, since that's what most people see before deciding whether to read on.
- For a thread meant to build suspense, let a chunk end right before the word boundary cutoff on purpose, so the natural split doubles as a soft cliffhanger.
- If your thread references an earlier post, like 'as I mentioned above,' double check that reference still makes sense once the text is actually split into separate numbered posts.
Questions
Does it ever break a word in the middle to hit the limit exactly?
No, it always splits at word boundaries, so a chunk may come out a little under the limit rather than cutting a word in half.
Can I add my own numbering format?
The preview shows a simple numbering style for reference. Feel free to restyle it however you like when copying each post.
What limit should I use for a platform other than the default?
Set the limit field to match whatever platform you're posting to, and the splitter recalculates the chunks accordingly.
Can I manually adjust where a specific split happens?
It splits automatically based on your character limit. For a split in a different spot, add an extra line break or adjust your wording near that point.
Does it preserve my original paragraph breaks?
It treats your text as a continuous stream of words for fitting the limit, so original paragraph breaks aren't specifically kept as post boundaries unless they happen to align with a natural split.
Does this work for languages that don't use spaces between words?
Since it splits on word boundaries marked by spaces, a language that doesn't separate words that way may not split as cleanly and could need a different limit approach.
