A practical tweet screenshot guide
Make a tweet screenshot that is ready to share.
Build a single text post for a presentation, a social concept, or a fictional story with editable identity, timestamps, and engagement.
Customize your profile
Enter a display name of up to 50 characters and a handle of up to 15 letters, numbers, or underscores. The preview adds @ automatically. Long display names are shortened visually so the blue verified badge stays inside the card. Toggle Verified badge to show or hide it.
Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF profile photo up to 20 MB. It is resized locally to a maximum edge of 400 pixels and center-cropped into a circle in the card. Animated images become still images. Without a photo, the card uses a blue circle with the first character of your name. Removing the photo restores this initial.
Write the post
Write up to 280 characters in Post text. The input grows with your message, manual line breaks are preserved, and long lines wrap in the preview. A name, handle, and nonempty post are required to export. This editor uses a simple character limit; it does not reproduce X's weighted character-counting rules.
Time and Date are editable display labels. Use formats such as 9:41 AM and Sep 22, 2026. You can leave either blank to omit it. They are not converted between time zones, and they do not advance with the real clock.
This tool creates a single text tweet card. For attached photos, polls, replies, or context notes, open the X (Twitter) Post Generator.
Set your engagement
| Setting | Where it appears |
|---|---|
| Views | Next to the timestamp, with a bold number |
| Replies | Beside the speech-bubble icon |
| Reposts | Beside the repost icon |
| Likes | Beside the heart icon |
| Bookmarks | Beside the bookmark icon |
Enter a whole number, a decimal, a comma-separated number, or a compact label such as 842, 3.1K, 48K, or 1.2M. Values appear as entered; the tool does not automatically round them. Each count accepts up to 12 characters. Use 0 for an empty metric. Invalid values display a message and disable export until corrected.
These are visual settings only. They do not create real views, likes, or followers.
Download your screenshot
Choose Light or Dark to change the card's background, text, borders, and icons. The website interface keeps its own style, while the artwork uses Inter. The preview and downloaded image use the same drawing function.
Select Download PNG to open the export panel. On desktop, resolution settings appear on the left and the finished image appears on the right.
| Resolution | Image width |
|---|---|
| Standard · 2× | 1,400 pixels |
| High · 3× | 2,100 pixels |
| Ultra · 4× | 2,800 pixels |
The height grows with your text. Exact dimensions appear in the export panel. The PNG contains the profile, badge if enabled, complete post, timestamp, views, divider, and four interaction metrics. It excludes the editor, website header, and controls, and has no watermark. The card has a white or black background with transparent corners around its rounded edge.
Copy image places a PNG at the selected resolution on your clipboard. This requires a browser that supports image clipboard access and a secure connection. If copying is unavailable, download the PNG instead. Excessive line breaks can exceed the browser's image limits; shorten the post or choose a lower resolution when prompted.
Drafts and privacy
Auto-save stores the profile, avatar, text, timestamp, counts, theme, and export resolution in this browser. Save draft writes manually. Turning Auto-save off stops automatic writes but does not remove previously saved data. Reset restores the example, and Undo reset brings back your previous draft during the current visit.
Images and text are processed locally. Drafts do not sync between devices. If browser storage is unavailable or full, the editor keeps your changes in memory and shows a status message. Clear this site's browser storage to remove saved drafts. See our privacy policy for hosting and analytics details.
Common questions
Is this tweet generator free?
Yes. You can edit and download a PNG without signing up, paying, or adding a watermark.
Does it publish to X or Twitter?
No. It creates a static fictional screenshot and does not connect to an account or publish anything. Fake Generator is independent and is not affiliated with X.
Can I include an image, a poll, or a thread?
Use the X Post Generator for those layouts. This compact editor is designed for a single text post.
Why does my screenshot have a different height?
The card adapts to the post length and timestamp. More lines produce a taller image so the complete content remains visible.
How should I use a generated tweet?
Use it for creative concepts, fictional stories, or presentations. Get permission for other people's names and photos, and label mockups where viewers might mistake them for real posts. Read our responsible use policy.
