Free tools for the fiddly parts.
Counting weighted characters, splitting a draft into a thread that reads properly, checking an image ratio before you upload it. 11 small jobs, done in a browser tab. No account, and nothing you type leaves the page.
Everything here runs in your browser, which is why it can be free and why nothing you paste reaches a server. There is no account, no trial, no usage cap and no gate on the output. These are the small mechanical pieces of running a social channel, pulled out of a paid product and given away on their own.
X (Twitter) tools
Everything X charges for, or nobody built, in your browser.
X (Twitter) Character Counter
Counts what X counts, not what your text editor counts. Links weigh 23, emoji weigh 2, and Japanese weighs double. Free, no account, nothing you type leaves your browser.
OpenX (Twitter) Thread Maker
Paste anything long and get a thread that breaks at sentences rather than mid-word. Numbering, hooks, per-post counts, copy one or copy all. Free, no account.
OpenBest Time to Post on X (Twitter)
A day-by-hour heatmap of when X posts actually get seen, converted to your own timezone. Pick your audience type and read the top three slots.
OpenX (Twitter) Font Generator
Bold, italic, script, fraktur and monospace text you can paste into a post or a bio. Shows what each style costs against the 280 limit, because most cost double.
OpenX (Twitter) Image Size Guide
Every X image dimension in one place, with a live preview of your own image cropped the way the timeline will crop it. Export the correctly sized version.
OpenX (Twitter) Post Preview
See a draft rendered as a real X post before you publish it: light and dark, phone and desktop, with the truncation point marked. Download the image.
OpenX (Twitter) Post Templates
A browsable library of post structures that work, filtered by goal and format, with the blanks marked so you fill them in rather than copy someone else.
OpenX (Twitter) Bio Generator
Build a bio that fits the 160-character limit and says what you actually do. Pick a structure, fill the blanks, see the count as you go.
OpenX (Twitter) Username Generator
Handle ideas built from your name or your niche, every one of them already checked against the format rules so you are not handed something you cannot register.
OpenX (Twitter) Engagement Rate Calculator
Work out your engagement rate from numbers you already have, by impressions or by followers, and see where it lands against the benchmark for your size.
OpenInstagram tools
The small jobs around an Instagram post, done in a tab.
No account, ever
No sign-up wall, no email capture, no "verify to see your result". You open the page and the tool is there.
Your text stays with you
Every tool runs client-side. What you paste is not sent to us, not logged and not stored, which matters when the draft has not gone out yet.
Built on what we already know
The same character counting, thread splitting and format rules bbuddy uses to publish for paying customers, pulled out and given away.
The questions we get most.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. No account, no email address, no trial that expires, and no limit on how many times you use one. They are free because they are cheap for us to run: every tool on this page executes in your browser, so a visitor costs us nothing beyond the page itself.
What is the catch?
That you might like them enough to look at what else we make. bbuddy is a paid product that runs a social channel end to end, and these tools are the small pieces of that job pulled out and given away. There is no upsell inside any of them, nothing is gated, and no tool asks you to sign up to see its output.
Do these tools store or send what I type?
No. Every tool here runs entirely in your browser, which means the text you paste never reaches a server of ours and is not logged, stored or analysed. That matters more than it sounds: most people paste a draft that has not been published yet.
Do I need to install anything?
No. They are web pages. They work on a phone, they work offline once the page has loaded, and there is no extension, no download and no desktop app.
Can I use the output commercially?
Yes. Anything a tool produces from what you typed is yours, with no attribution required and no licence attached. They are utilities, not a content service.
Each of these saves you a minute. The job takes a week.
Counting characters is the easy part. Deciding what to post, writing it for the surface it is going on, and shipping it on a schedule you can hold is the rest of it. bbuddy reads your brand, drafts posts built for each platform rather than broadcast across all of them, and either queues them for your approval or publishes them itself. Eight platforms, eight languages.
Free tools now, a channel that runs itself next..
Every tool on this page is a job that repeats every single post. bbuddy is what happens when the whole set stops repeating on you.
