FAQ
X (Twitter) bio: common questions
What is the X (Twitter) bio character limit?+
Your X (Twitter) bio can be up to 160 characters, including spaces, emojis and @mentions.
Do spaces and emojis count toward the X (Twitter) bio limit?+
Yes, and some count double. On X, emojis and Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters count as 2, and every link counts as 23 no matter its length. The counter on this page follows those rules.
What happens if a X (Twitter) bio is over 160 characters?+
X will not accept more than 160 characters, so the extra text is blocked or cut off. Check the length before you paste it in.
Limits last checked October 2026. Platforms change them from time to time, so check the X editor if a number looks off.
