WordLimit shortens your text to the exact word or character count you need - it trims redundancy while keeping your key information and your own writing style, so human-written text stays recognizably human. Check your current count with the free word limit counter first.
Text statuses and the About line each allow 139 characters as of 2026 - one sentence that has to carry the whole message.
