A practical Facebook post guide
Build a Facebook post with a conversation around it.
Start with the story, then bring the profile, photos, reactions, and comments together in one finished mockup. Every visible detail is included in your PNG.
Start with a template
Choose Community announcement, A little milestone, Weekend plans, or Start blank, then select Use template. The confirmation protects your current work. New post starts an empty version after the same confirmation. Undo template restores the post you replaced while this page stays open.
Use a mockup to plan a campaign, explain a classroom example, review a fictional scene, or present an interface idea. The tool produces an image; it does not publish anything to Facebook.
Set the author and audience
Enter the author name and upload an optional profile photo. With or at adds a context line, such as “is with Sam Ortiz at Riverside Library.” The time is an editable label, so you can use “3 h,” “Yesterday,” or a fictional date.
Choose Public, Friends, or Only me to change the audience icon. Sponsored replaces the time label with “Sponsored.” The online dot and verified badge are independent visual settings. They do not change a real account's status.
The preview uses Inter independently of the site's interface font. Long names and context labels are shortened to fit the header; keep the important words first. Click the author area in the preview to jump back to its settings.
Compose the post and photo collage
The text field supports up to 3,000 characters, line breaks, and emoji. It grows with your text rather than adding a scrollbar. The finished post also grows to include the complete text.
Upload or drop up to ten PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF images, each no larger than 20 MB. GIFs become still images. Photos are processed locally and resized to a maximum edge of 1,800 pixels; avatars use a maximum edge of 400 pixels.
| Photos | Preview layout |
|---|---|
| 1 | One wide photo |
| 2 | Two photos side by side |
| 3 | One photo above two smaller photos |
| 4 | Two rows of two photos |
| 5 | Two photos above three smaller photos |
| 6–10 | First five photos, with a +N label on the last cell |
Select a photo thumbnail to adjust zoom and horizontal or vertical framing. Center photo resets that crop. Move photos earlier or later with the arrow buttons; the first five appear in the exported collage. Extra photos are represented by the +N label, not exported as additional files.
Choose reactions and counts
Enter the reaction, comment, and share totals independently. Choose up to three top reactions from Like, Love, Care, Haha, Wow, Sad, and Angry. They appear in selection order. Deselect one before replacing it when all three slots are used.
Your reaction changes the action label and adds one to the displayed reaction total. Selecting None removes that extra reaction. Counts below 10,000 use comma separators; larger counts use K or M abbreviations.
Use Light or Dark to change the post's appearance. These are visual controls for an illustrative screenshot, not a way to change real engagement.
Add comments and replies
Open the Comments tab to add up to twelve comments. Each has its own name, avatar, text, time label, reaction type, and reaction count. The arrow buttons move the entire comment and its reply together.
Author reply adds one nested reply beneath a comment using the post author's name and avatar. Leave it empty to omit the reply. Show comments controls whether the thread is included in the preview and download; hiding it preserves your edits.
The displayed comment total is at least the number of visible comments and author replies. A larger total can represent additional comments outside the screenshot. Last line controls the text beneath the thread; leave it empty to hide it.
For example, a library announcement could receive “Is the laser cutter back as well?” with the author reply “Yes! Bookings open Friday at 9.” This gives the post a specific purpose and makes the discussion useful.
Download your finished post
Select Download PNG to open the export dialog. Resolution controls are on the left, and the complete finished image is on the right. Preview and export use the same drawing layout.
| Resolution | Export width |
|---|---|
| Standard · 2× | 1,000 pixels |
| High · 3× | 1,500 pixels |
| Ultra · 4× | 2,000 pixels |
The height adapts to your post text, photo collage, and visible comments. The PNG includes author details, text, images, counts, action labels, and visible replies. Editor controls are excluded and no watermark is added. If a very long post exceeds export limits, choose a lower resolution or shorten the thread.
Common questions
Is this a free Facebook post generator with comments?
Yes. You can edit the post, add comments and author replies, and download the finished PNG without an account or payment.
Does this publish to Facebook or change a real account?
No. It makes a still-image mockup and does not connect to Facebook. Fake Generator is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Meta or Facebook.
Are my uploads private?
Photos, text, and image exports are processed in your browser. The tool does not send them to an application server. See the privacy policy for hosting and analytics information.
Where is my draft saved?
Auto-save attempts to keep the current draft in local storage on this device. Save draft saves manually. Turning auto-save off stops automatic writes but does not erase an existing saved draft. The status reports when storage is unavailable or full; download your work before leaving in that case. Clear this site's browser storage to remove saved drafts.
Why do only five of my uploaded photos appear?
The screenshot uses a Facebook-style collage with at most five visible cells. The final cell shows how many more photos exist. Reorder the gallery to choose which photos are visible.
Can I share a generated post?
Use it for design, storytelling, education, or campaign planning. Use images you have permission to reuse, and label fictional posts when they could be mistaken for authentic statements or engagement. Follow the responsible use policy.
