LinkedIn and Instagram cut by lines, so the cut moves with screen width. X counts like X does: links as 23, emoji as 2.

How to make a tweet mockup

Use it for drafts, presentations, design mockups and memes about yourself. Please don't make fake tweets that put words in a real person's mouth or could be taken for a real post.

  1. 1Type the post text into the box.
  2. 2Set the name, @handle and profile photo, and add an image if you want one.
  3. 3Set the replies, reposts, likes and views.
  4. 4Switch between Phone and Desktop, then press Download PNG.

Preview your tweet before you post

Use it as a Twitter post preview (or X post preview) for your own drafts. The tweet preview shows your post the way the X timeline does. Standard accounts can post up to 280 characters. Premium subscribers can post more, but the timeline cuts long posts after 280 and adds "Show more", which the preview shows too.

How X counts characters

X weighs characters instead of counting them one by one, following its developer documentation. The tweet character counter under the preview does the same.

What you typeCounts as
Letters, numbers and most punctuation1
Emoji2
Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters2
Styled letters like ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฑ2
Any link, however long23

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to make a fake tweet?

Making a tweet mockup for your own drafts, designs or jokes about yourself is generally fine. Faking a post from a real person or brand can mislead people and may break X's rules or the law. Only make mockups you'd be happy to label as mockups.

What's the character limit on X (Twitter)?

The Twitter character limit is 280 weighted characters for standard accounts. Links count as 23 and emoji as 2. The Twitter character counter under the preview counts exactly that way.

Does the fake tweet have a watermark?

No. Download PNG saves the mockup at three times screen resolution, with no watermark or logo.

Are my text and images uploaded anywhere?

No. The preview, the character count and the PNG download all run in your browser. FeedHive never receives or stores your text, profile photo or post image.

Is this tool free?

Yes. There's no account, no signup, no watermark and no limit on how often you use it.
