X allows up to 160 characters in the bio that appears on your profile. Spaces, line breaks, emoji, and special characters all count. Like Instagram, X counts code points — so a single emoji is one character regardless of how many bytes it actually uses.
Going over 160 characters is silent — X simply won't save the extra text. The counter above flags you as soon as you hit the limit.
X also has separate limits on the display name (50 characters), the location field (30), and the website URL (100). Use them all together: the bio is for personality, the location for context, the URL for your call-to-action.
| Field | Limit |
|---|---|
| Bio | 160 |
| Display name | 50 |
| @handle (username) | 15 |
| Location | 30 |
| Website URL | 100 |
| Tweet (free) | 280 |
| DM | 10,000 |
Limits are current as of 2026. X Premium subscribers get an extended 25,000-character tweet limit.
160 characters. That's the hard limit — X won't save the extra text if you go over.

Yes. Each line break is one character. You can add them by pressing Return when editing your bio.
280 characters for free accounts. X Premium subscribers can post up to 25,000 characters per tweet, though long tweets are collapsed in feed and require a tap to expand.
No — the 160-character bio limit predates the X rebrand and hasn't changed. The 280-character tweet limit also hasn't moved for free accounts.
