X post generator

X rebranded; the graphic conventions did not. This page covers the details that changed and the ones that did not.

What actually changed

The name and the bird, mostly. The post card itself — circular avatar, bold display name, grey handle, generous body text — reads the same way it always did, which is why graphics in this style still work.

The badge is the part worth thinking about. It now signals a paid subscription rather than notability, so a blue badge on a graphic says considerably less than it used to. Gold and grey variants are available here, or switch it off entirely.

Adding an image or a video inside the post

A post with media inside it is a different composition from a text-only card. The card gets narrower, gains a shadow, and floats over the background rather than lying flat on it.

The embedded media spans the full width inside the padding, so you only choose its aspect ratio and corner radius. Square works best for portrait canvases; 16:9 suits landscape exports.

Drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM and it plays in the preview. Trim the start and end, mute it if you want, and export an H.264 MP4 with the clip’s own audio. Encoding runs in your browser, so the footage never leaves your machine.

Sizing for each destination

Instagram and Facebook stories: 1080×1920. Feed posts: 1080×1350 portrait takes the most vertical space and performs best. Square 1080×1080 is the safe default when you do not know where it will end up.

For a YouTube community post or a link preview, 1280×720 landscape avoids the platform cropping your card in half.

Common questions

Should I use the blue badge?
Only if it serves the graphic. Since the badge became a subscription marker it no longer implies notability, and on a quote card it often adds nothing. You can switch it off or choose gold or grey.
Can I embed a video?
Yes. Upload an MP4, MOV or WebM and it plays inside the card in the preview. Trim it, mute it if you want, and download an H.264 MP4 with the clip’s own audio. If you would rather keep the output a still, you can instead use a single frame with the play-button overlay.
