Practical guide

Write a post that reads in one glance

A standard post on X is short enough to be read in full, so the first words decide whether someone stops. Use the preview to check that the claim lands before the link and hashtags, and that a mention does not push the real message out of sight.

The preview is a simplified planning card. X changes its layout often, and accounts with longer posts see a different fold. Confirm the final result in the PostlyBee composer for the connected account.

Privacy: Your copy, account details, and any image you add stay in this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded to PostlyBee or an AI service.

Pro tips

Pro tips for X (Twitter) posts

Links take a fixed length

X counts every link as 23 characters, so a long URL does not use up the limit. The count on the preview applies the same rule.

Images shape the card

A wide image sits under the text and changes how much of the timeline the post takes up. Toggle media to see whether the copy still works on its own.

Lead with the point

Timeline readers decide in a glance. Put the claim or the news before the hashtags, and keep hashtags to one or two.
