About the X Post Image Maker
X Post Image Maker designs an image to attach to a post on X. The standard preset is 1600 × 900 px (16:9), and a custom-size mode accepts other dimensions within safe limits. Add a background colour, gradient or your own photo, a headline, a subtitle and an optional logo or sticker, then download an exact-size PNG or JPG.
Background photos can be fitted three ways: cover fills the canvas and crops the edges (you choose the crop by dragging or zooming), contain shows the whole photo with a colour behind it, and fill stretches it to the canvas shape. Safe margins are shown in the preview only and never exported. The tool creates an image only; it does not post to X, and how X previews or crops images can vary and change. Toolsfy is not affiliated with X.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between cover, contain and fill?
Cover fills the whole canvas and crops whatever does not fit. Contain shows the entire photo and fills the empty space with a colour you choose. Fill stretches the photo to the exact canvas shape, which can distort it.
Will X display the image at 1600 × 900?
The file is exactly 1600 × 900 px, but X decides how to preview and crop it, which can vary by device and change over time. No particular preview is promised.
Can I use a different size?
Yes. Choose Custom size and enter whole-number width and height between 100 and 4096 px, up to about 16.7 megapixels in total.
Does this tool post to X?
No. It only creates an image on your device. You attach it to a post yourself.
Are the safe margins in the download?
No. Guides, selection outlines and handles appear only in the preview.
How do I move a layer with the keyboard?
Click or tab to the preview, choose the layer in the Selected layer list, and use the arrow keys. Shift moves faster, plus and minus resize, and Delete removes the layer.
Which image files can I use?
JPG, PNG and WebP files up to 40 MB and 50 megapixels. GIF, SVG, damaged files and files renamed from another format are refused with a clear message, and file contents such as metadata are never run.
Are my images uploaded or saved?
No. Images are opened and edited in your browser on your device. Nothing is uploaded, and your images, text and settings are not saved in browser storage. Reset clears them from memory.
