Free tool
Turn long text into a thread.
Paste a blog post, a note or a LinkedIn post. It splits between sentences into posts under 280 characters, numbered if you want, each ready to copy.
The short answer
An X thread is a series of connected posts. To make one, write your full text, split it into posts of 280 characters or fewer at natural breaks, then publish the first and reply to it with the next. This tool does the splitting, so you only need to fix the wording.
Making a thread people finish
- Make the first post work alone. It's the only one most people see. Say what they'll get from reading on.
- One idea per post. Edit the splits so each one makes sense by itself.
- End with something to do. A question, a link or a pointer to your profile.
- Shorter is usually better. If it takes 20 posts, it may want to be a blog post.

Questions
How do you make a thread on X?
Write your first post, then use the plus button to add the next ones before you publish, or reply to your own post afterwards.
How long should a thread be?
As long as it needs to stay interesting. Many good threads run about 5 to 10 posts.
Should I number my posts?
It's up to you. Numbers tell readers how long it is, but use a few characters. Turn them off with the checkbox.
Does it post to X for me?
No. It runs in your browser. Copy each post into X yourself.
Keep your LinkedIn and X going without writing every post.
