Live previewA practical Threads comment guide
Build a conversation, one reply at a time.
Create a Threads-style conversation with editable authors, nested replies, and realistic engagement labels, then export the entire thread as one image.
Edit your conversation
Choose a comment from the Selected comment menu or click a comment in the preview. Its editable text, author, likes, liked state, and date appear in the editor. Text fields expand as you type. Each comment supports up to 1,000 characters; the thread supports up to 30 comments, including replies.
Add comment creates a new top-level comment. Add reply attaches a response to the selected comment, with up to three reply levels. Replies stay beneath their parent and are connected visually. The up and down arrows move a comment among its siblings, together with its reply branch. Delete comment and its replies removes the whole selected branch. Clear all in the Comments toolbar menu empties the conversation.
Undo last removal or reset restores the latest deleted branch, cleared thread, or reset draft during this visit. Reset brings back the English example. Likes and the filled-heart setting are independent display values; they do not change engagement on a real account.
Customize the authors
Select an Author for each comment, or use the plus button beside the Author menu to create a profile. Up to 12 authors are supported. Display name identifies the person in the editor and supplies the avatar initial; Username is the name displayed in the thread. Editing a profile updates every comment by that author.
Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF up to 20 MB. Images are processed in your browser, resized to a maximum edge of 400 pixels, and center-cropped into a circle. Animated images become still frames. Remove an image to show the author's initial on the selected color. Verified author adds a decorative blue badge beside the username.
Control the appearance
The toolbar beneath the preview groups the main settings:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Comments | Add a comment or clear the thread |
| Visibility | Toggle the device frame, status bar, and Fake Generator watermark |
| Appearance | Switch between light and dark mode |
| 3D | Tilt the workspace preview for inspection |
| Save | Save the current draft in this browser |
| Export | Open the PNG download panel |
Thread settings also includes these appearance controls, the reply-composer recipient, device time, battery level, and Screenshot date and time. Comment ages such as 4m or 2h are calculated relative to that screenshot time. They do not change as the real clock advances. A comment dated after the screenshot time displays 0m. New comments use the screenshot time. Change the comment timestamps and screenshot time together when recreating a particular sequence.
The bottom reply composer is part of the mockup artwork; use Add comment or Add reply to edit the conversation. The device frame surrounds the full conversation and does not crop it to a fixed phone height. The watermark is off by default and can be enabled or removed freely. It uses Fake Generator branding. Preview text uses Inter independently of the website interface font.
Export your thread
Choose Export, select 2×, 3×, or 4× resolution, then Download PNG. The desktop export panel places controls on the left and the finished image on the right. The dimensions are shown before downloading.
| Resolution | Without device frame | With device frame |
|---|---|---|
| 2× | 840 px wide | 888 px wide |
| 3× | 1,260 px wide | 1,332 px wide |
| 4× | 1,680 px wide | 1,776 px wide |
Height grows with your comments and replies. The PNG includes every visible comment, profile image, action icon, like count, relative time, reply composer, and enabled display option. It excludes the editing controls, workspace background, selection outlines, and 3D preview angle. The exported artwork stays flat so it can be used in slides, videos, and design mockups. Rounded corners outside the card or device frame are transparent.
A very long thread can exceed browser canvas limits. If an error appears, use fewer comments, shorten the text, or reduce export resolution. Downloading an empty thread is disabled. For a single comment card, try the Instagram Comment Generator. For a full social post, try the X Post Generator.
Drafts and privacy
Auto-save stores authors, avatars, comments, reply relationships, timestamps, likes, appearance, device settings, and export resolution in this browser. Save writes manually. Turning Auto-save off stops automatic writes but does not remove a previously stored draft. Storage errors leave the editor usable and report that the draft remains in memory.
Drafts do not sync across devices. Clear this website's browser data to remove them. Images, previews, and PNG exports are processed locally; they are not sent to an application database. See our privacy policy for hosting and analytics details.
Common questions
Is this tool free?
Yes. You can create, save locally, and export a thread without an account, payment, or required watermark.
Does it post to Threads?
No. It creates fictional artwork and does not connect to Threads, publish comments, or generate real likes. Fake Generator is independent and is not affiliated with Threads or Meta.
Can I edit a comment directly from the preview?
Click the comment to select it, then edit its fields in the left panel. On smaller screens, the editor is above the preview. Use the Selected comment menu for keyboard access.
Can I hide the phone frame but keep the status bar?
Yes. Device frame and Status bar are independent switches. Their state is preserved in the exported PNG.
How should I use the image?
Use fictional profiles or obtain permission for names and photos. Label mockups when they could be mistaken for genuine conversations, and follow our responsible use policy.
