ABOUT THIS TOOL

What Is X (Twitter) Post Preview?

X Post Preview helps creators, social media managers and brands inspect the appearance of a post before publishing. Experiment with names, copy, images, videos, quoted content and link cards in illustrative X-style layouts. Compare the home feed, profile timeline and individual post detail views on mobile and desktop.

This is an independent planning tool, not an official X product. Live platform interfaces and media cropping may change, so exported mockups are approximations rather than publishing guarantees.

HOW IT WORKS

Preview an X Post in Three Steps

01

Choose Your Post

Select Text & Image, Video, Quote Post or Link Preview.

02

Customize Details

Enter profile information and text, then add relevant media or link details.

03

Inspect and Export

Switch between views and devices, then save your mockup as a PNG.

POST FORMATS

Text, Images, Video and Quote Posts

Compare a text-only update with one containing up to four images. Test a local video and optional cover, or preview the hierarchy of a quoted post with its own author details. Link cards can include a title, domain, description and thumbnail without requesting metadata from another website.

CHARACTER COUNT

Check 280 Characters Without Restricting Your Draft

The live character counter marks the familiar 280-character length used by standard X posts, while allowing you to preview longer text for planning. Whether a given account can publish a longer post depends on current X features and account permissions; this preview does not check those permissions.

PLACEMENT GUIDE

Compare Home Feed, Profile and Post Detail

Home Timeline

See the author details, post copy, media and interaction bar inside a familiar feed layout.

Profile Timeline

Check how the post appears beneath a cover image, profile information and profile tabs.

Post Detail

Focus on the individual post with more space for text and a standalone metrics area.
