Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to create fake social media posts?
Yes, creating fake social media posts is legal when used for legitimate purposes such as design mockups, educational content, presentations, and portfolio work. However, you must never use these posts to deceive, impersonate real people, spread misinformation, or commit fraud. Always clearly label mockups as fake when presenting them, and never use them to harm others or violate platform terms of service.
Can I upload my own images for the posts?
Yes! Our tool supports uploading custom profile pictures and post images. Simply expand the Advanced Options section and use the image upload areas. You can upload JPG, PNG, or other common image formats. The images are processed entirely in your browser for privacy—we never store or transmit your uploads to our servers.
What platforms are supported?
We currently support four major social media platforms: Twitter/X (with dark mode support), Instagram (feed post style), Facebook (timeline posts), and LinkedIn (professional posts). Each platform has authentic styling including correct fonts, colors, icon placements, and engagement displays to ensure realistic mockups.
How do I download the generated post?
After customizing your post, click the 'Download PNG' button at the bottom of the configuration card. The tool uses html2canvas to capture the post at 2x resolution for high quality. The image downloads automatically to your device with a filename like 'fake-twitter-post.png'. You can then use it in presentations, portfolios, or design projects.
Can I randomize the engagement numbers?
Yes! Click the 'Randomize' button next to the Engagement Metrics section to instantly generate random but realistic numbers for likes, comments, and shares. This is useful when you need varied engagement levels for multiple mockups or want to simulate viral posts with high numbers.
Are the posts stored on your servers?
No. All post generation happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. We don't store, log, or transmit any content you create, including text, images, or engagement numbers. Your data remains completely private and secure on your device.
