Fake Reddit post and thread screenshot generator

Why most fake Reddit screenshots do not hold up

It is usually the vote button. Reddit counts your own vote in the total, so a screenshot with an orange upvote arrow beside a number that nobody incremented reads as edited immediately. Here the arrow state and the number come from the same two fields, so they cannot disagree.

The second giveaway is the count format. Reddit writes 8.7k, not 8,696 and not 8.70k, and it drops to whole thousands above ten. The third is the thread: replies sit behind one vertical rule per level, and a flat list of comments in a post that clearly had a conversation is the thing people notice without being able to say why.

What you can change

• The screen: feed card with the Join pill, or post detail with the thread.
• Subreddit, author, post age and the avatar tint.
• Title, body with paragraph breaks, and an uploaded image.
• Upvotes and comment count, with your own vote counted in the total.
• A flair chip under the title, in any colour, or empty to hide it.
• The header banner colour, which differs for every community.
• Comments: username, age, body, score, reply level, OP badge, vote and highlight.
• Light or dark, exported at 1x, 2x or 3x.

Questions

How do I make a fake Reddit post screenshot?

Pick the screen you want. The feed card is the one you scroll past, with the subreddit line, the title, five lines of body and the blue Join pill. The post detail shows the whole post and the comment thread under it. Fill in the subreddit, the title and the counts, then download a PNG.

Can I add nested replies?

Yes. Every comment has a reply level from 0 to 5. Level 0 is a top-level comment, and each step indents the comment behind another thread line, exactly the way the app stacks a conversation. You can mark a comment as OP, upvote it, or highlight it the way Reddit tints a comment you were linked to.

Why does the upvote number change when I turn on Upvoted?

Because it does in the app. Reddit counts your own vote in the total, so an orange arrow beside an unchanged number is one of the easiest ways to spot an edited screenshot. The generator derives the displayed score from the count and the vote state together.

How are large counts formatted?

The same way Reddit formats them: exact below a thousand, then one decimal with a lowercase k, dropping a trailing zero. 8,696 becomes 8.7k and 12,000 becomes 12k, not 12.0k.

Can I change the header colour?

Yes. The post detail header takes the subreddit banner colour, which is different for every community, so it is a colour picker rather than a fixed value. The subreddit avatar tint and the flair chip colour are editable too.

Can I use this to pass something off as a real Reddit post?

No. This makes a picture for content, design mockups, moderation examples or a joke. Nothing is posted to Reddit and no account is connected. Keep the usernames fictional: presenting a mockup as a real post by a real person is not what the tool is for.
