Fake Reddit Post Generator — Create Realistic Reddit Screenshots
Make pixel-perfect Reddit post screenshots with custom subreddit names, usernames, vote counts, awards, and post content. The generator matches Reddit's current UI so your screenshots look like they were grabbed straight from the front page.
Reddit screenshots are everywhere — on Twitter, in YouTube videos, on TikTok, in articles. Half the internet's viral content starts as a Reddit post. This tool lets you create that format without needing an actual Reddit account or post.
How to Use the Reddit Post Generator
Enter a subreddit name (with or without the r/ prefix), set a username, write your post title and optional body text, and dial in the upvote count. Add awards if you want that gilded look. Toggle between card view and compact view, and choose light or dark mode. The preview renders in real time.
Subreddit names should follow Reddit's actual naming conventions — lowercase, underscores allowed, no spaces. "r/AmItheAsshole" looks real. "r/My Cool Subreddit" does not.
Why Reddit Post Screenshots Are So Popular
Reddit posts have a unique credibility to them. Something about the anonymous username, the community voting system, and the subreddit context makes Reddit screenshots feel more "real" than other platform screenshots. Content creators use them as storytelling devices, reaction prompts, and discussion starters.
The classic format — a wild TIFU or AITA post screenshotted and shared on Twitter — is practically its own content genre. This generator lets you create that format for fictional scenarios, writing prompts, or content planning.

Tips for Believable Reddit Posts
- Reddit usernames are random-looking. Things like u/throwaway29472 or u/quiet_badger_88 feel authentic. u/JohnSmith2024 does not.
- Upvote counts should match the subreddit's size. A niche hobby sub with 10K members won't produce 50K upvote posts.
- Awards are less common since Reddit replaced them with the new system. A gold or platinum award still reads as classic Reddit.
- Post titles on Reddit are often long, descriptive, and sometimes all-lowercase. Match the vibe of the subreddit you're referencing.
- Dark mode is the default for most Reddit users (especially on mobile). Use it for maximum realism.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any subreddit name?
Yes — type any subreddit name, real or fictional. The generator doesn't check if the subreddit exists. You can make up communities for creative projects.
Does it support post awards?
You can add common Reddit awards like Gold, Silver, and Platinum to your post. They render as icons next to the post title, just like on real Reddit.
Can I make comment screenshots too?
The current version generates post screenshots (title + body). Threaded comment screenshots are a different layout and may be added in a future update.
Light mode or dark mode?
Both are supported. Dark mode is more commonly used on Reddit (especially on mobile apps), so it tends to look more natural. But light mode works if that's what your context needs.
What about the Reddit karma number?
The upvote count (karma) is fully customizable. Set it to whatever number fits your scenario. Reddit displays counts like "1.2k" for thousands and "15.4k" for larger numbers.
Can I add images to the Reddit post?
You can create text posts with titles and body content. Image post mockups (where a photo appears inline) are on the development roadmap.
