Fits on…
PostPlanifyWrite once, schedule everywhere
Draft, preview, and schedule posts to every platform from one dashboard with PostPlanify.
How It Works
Paste your post once
Type or paste your text into the editor. The character, word, and line counts update live as you write.
See where it fits
The "Fits on…" panel checks your text against every platform’s primary limit and flags where you are over.
Fine-tune per platform
Jump to a platform-specific counter for exact truncation previews, then copy your text into the app.
Popular Use Cases
Adapt one post for every network
Write once and instantly see which platforms your text fits and where you need a shorter version.
Check captions before posting
Confirm your caption fits the platforms you publish to without switching between apps.
Manage multi-platform clients
Keep every client message within limits across all the networks you manage from one screen.
Standardize approved copy
Draft copy your whole team can reuse, knowing it fits the platforms you support.
Tighten any text
See word, sentence, hashtag, and emoji counts at a glance to cut the fat from any post.
Plan campaign messaging
Draft launch copy that works across channels with consistent length and hooks.
💡 Pro Tips
Write to the tightest platform first
If you cross-post, draft for X (280) or Bluesky (300) first, then expand for roomier platforms. Trimming is easier than padding.
Mind the preview cutoffs
Hard limits are rarely the real constraint. Most platforms truncate in-feed (Instagram ~125, LinkedIn ~210). Front-load your hook for each.
Keep a short and long version
Maintain a punchy version for X/Threads/Bluesky and a fuller version for LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook to reuse fast.
Watch emoji and link weight
Some platforms count emojis as two characters and Bluesky counts full URLs. When you are near a limit, these can push you over.
Use word count for longer copy
For LinkedIn articles, YouTube descriptions, and blog snippets, the live word count helps you hit a target length.
Fine-tune on the platform page
Once your draft fits broadly, open the platform-specific counter for the exact truncation preview before you publish.
