Social Media Post Creator: Design Beautiful Posts for Free

Creating eye-catching social media posts doesn't require Canva, Photoshop, or a designer. Our free online post creator lets you design and download professional social media graphics in minutes.

Why Design Matters on Social Media

Posts with high-quality visuals receive 3x more engagement than text-only posts. Studies show users decide whether to stop scrolling within 0.25 seconds — your visual design determines whether they stop or scroll past.

Preset Sizes for Every Platform

  • Instagram Post (1080×1080): Square format — most popular for feed posts
  • Instagram Story (1080×1920): Full vertical format — 9:16 ratio
  • Twitter/X Post (1200×675): Landscape — fills the full Twitter card
  • Facebook Post (1200×630): Standard landscape for feed and link previews

How to Create a Social Post

1Open the Social Media Post Creator.
2Choose a platform preset (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Story).
3Pick a background — gradient, solid color, or upload your own image.
4Type your main text (headline), subtext, and optional brand name.
5Adjust font sizes to your preference.
6Click Download as PNG — a perfect-resolution image ready to post.
💡 Design Tips for High Engagement:
• Use high contrast between text and background
• Limit main text to 6 words or fewer
• Use action words: "Learn", "Discover", "Try", "Get"
• Include a subtle call-to-action in the subtext

Best Practices for Each Platform

  • Instagram: Cohesive grid aesthetic — use consistent colors and fonts across posts
  • Twitter/X: Keep text large and readable — many users browse on mobile
  • Facebook: Faces and warm colors outperform cold, abstract designs
  • Stories: Put text in the center third — edges get covered by UI elements
