You have a brilliant thought, a hilarious story, an insightful experience – and then you slam into that 280-character limit of Twitter. Same with me! But don't worry, as there are ways to break free and share your voice.
I’m here to share some insider tips on how to post more than 280 characters on Twitter.
After becoming a more active Twitter user, however, I felt the need to come up with some solutions to this habit of mine, including the use of the following tool ⬇️:
Circleboom Publish
Circleboom supports Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, YouTube, and TikTok (soon).
You see, even this intro was too long, right? Anyway, let's turn back to our topic. Here are the runarounds of posting on Twitter with more than 280 characters:
1- Beat Twitter's 280-character limit with Twitter threads
You're probably aware that Twitter allows you to connect a series of tweets to form a thread. All you need to do for that is start your tweet as usual and then click on the + button to add more tweets to your thread.
So what if even this is not enough for you? How can you beat that tweet limit on threads? Well, for me, the solution was Circleboom Publish.
Its Twitter thread maker doesn't only let me go with Twitter threads with more than 25 tweets, but it also provides an excellent experience for creating, designing, publishing, and scheduling Twitter threads to reach a larger audience. Many other social media management tools like Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Buffer still lack this feature to beat Twitter's 280 character limit, let alone beating the 25-tweet limit on a Twitter thread.
As you can see, beating the limits is not the only magic of Circleboom. It also comes with built-in design tools so that you can support your text with
- templates,
- GIFs, and
- many other visual elements and even add alt texts to them.
- Plus, the option to bulk schedule tweets and Twitter threads to automate your tweets and threads.
Is there more? Absolutely! With Circleboom, you can connect and manage multiple Twitter accounts from a single, easy-to-use dashboard. Also, you can schedule entire Twitter threads, which are not offered natively on Twitter. All these make Circleboom a superior choice compared to Twitter and other tools.
A lot more to tell about Twitter threads, but I need to provide some more info on how to post more than 280 characters on Twitter. So if you're really that into Twitter threads, here's a more comprehensive guide:
2. Go beyond the limit of 280 characters on Twitter: Twitter Premium
You may also consider upgrading to Twitter Premium and enjoy the luxury of 25,000 characters a tweet at your fingertips. But it will come with a limitation too, and only show the first 280 characters on the timelines of others.
On the other hand, subscribing to premium comes with a few other features, including having a checkmark by your profile, which is also widely known as "becoming verified".
Many people are dying to find verified accounts to connect with them, so this might even be helpful for growing your account.
3. Is a picture worth a thousand words to post more than 280 characters on Twitter?
We've all seen those tweets with screenshots of text. It's not the most elegant solution, but it works and is also easy to do.
Just write your longer message in another app, take a screenshot of the text, and upload the screenshot as an image in your tweet as below:
But remember that screenshots are not too convenient to read long texts. But hey, at least it's limitless, right? ... Right?
Bonus: Post more than 280 characters on Twitter without posting more than 280 characters
If your masterpiece already exists online, like a blog post or article, you can share the link in your tweet and summarize the key points within the character limit. This is not directly writing more than 280 characters on Twitter, but it's a good option to drive traffic to your other content.

So what's the best way to beat all these limitations?
Every alternative way of running around Twitter's limit of 280 characters has a downside, even posting native threads on Twitter. So if you have a lot to tell, I'm recommending the use of Circleboom again and again. It even has a 14-day trial, so what is there to lose if you just give it a try? I'm sure you'll like it anyway...
