How this free Threads post scheduler works
Draft a Threads post (up to 500 characters), pick a media type, choose who can reply, and set a publish time. The character counter is grapheme-aware so emojis count the way Threads enforces them.
Threads character limit (500)
Threads posts allow up to 500 characters — nearly double X. The counter on this page goes red the moment you exceed 500 so you know to trim or split into a Threads thread before scheduling.
