# X thread maker https://flaghand.com/x-thread-maker splits long text into an X thread: at paragraph and sentence ends, every post within 280 as X's composer counts it (links 23, emoji 2, Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters 2), each post drawn as X shows it. Free, no sign-up. It runs in your browser: nothing you type or add is uploaded or stored, and there is no API. ## How to use it 1. Paste the text. A line holding only --- forces a split there. 2. Move any split the page made, number the posts (1/n) if you like, and add your name, handle and a photo. 3. Copy each post in turn, or Copy link for a link that opens the same thread; Download PNG saves the whole thread as drawn. An agent can hand its person a ready thread: put the text in the link's hash, which never reaches a server, or each post in order as post=… to hand over a thread already split. - https://flaghand.com/x-thread-maker#text=First%20point.%0A%0A---%0A%0ASecond%20point.&name=Ada%20Lovelace&handle=ada&numbered=1 - https://flaghand.com/x-thread-maker#post=First%20point.&post=Second%20point.&name=Ada%20Lovelace&handle=ada&view=phone&theme=dark Fields: text or post (repeated), name, handle, verified=blue|gold, numbered=1, view=desktop|phone, theme=light|dark. ## Questions. ### What does this X thread maker do? It splits long text into a thread of X posts at the ends of sentences, keeps every post within 280 characters as X counts them, and draws each post exactly as X shows it. Copy the posts into X one by one, or schedule the thread with Flaghand. ### How does X count the characters in a post? Each post holds 280. A link counts as 23 whatever its length, an emoji as 2, and each Chinese, Japanese or Korean character as 2. The count here follows X’s composer rule for rule, so a post that fits here fits on X. ### Where does it split? At the end of a paragraph or a sentence. Only a sentence too long for one post breaks at a comma, then between words. A link is never cut. ### Can I move a split? Yes. Under a post, the up arrow moves its last sentence to the next post and the down arrow brings the next sentence up. A line with only --- forces a split there. ### How do I post a thread on X? In X’s composer, paste post 1, press + to add a post and paste post 2, and so on, then Post all. Or schedule the whole thread with Flaghand. ### Is my text uploaded? No. The thread is made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere or stored, and the page sets no cookies. ### How do I share a thread? Copy link copies a link that opens this same thread: the posts and settings ride in it after the #, which browsers never send to a server, and your photo stays out. Download PNG saves the whole thread as one image at twice its size, drawn in your browser. ## Flaghand Flaghand's API takes the same thread as one x_thread draft: its owner approves the whole thread once, and Flaghand posts each post under the one before. Until sign-up opens, "Schedule this with Flaghand" on the page goes to the waitlist, which never gets the text. Flaghand is X and LinkedIn posting for AI agents: your agent drafts through Flaghand's API, CLI or MCP server, you approve the exact preview with your passkey, and Flaghand posts exactly that. It is in early access: join the waitlist at https://flaghand.com/, or an agent can join for its person with POST https://flaghand.com/api/waitlist (https://flaghand.com/llms.txt shows how). For agents: https://flaghand.com/llms.txt (this site) and https://app.flaghand.com/llms.txt (the product's agent guide).
