# Make a minimal tweet image

Sometimes the engagement numbers and the date are noise. For a pull quote in a deck, a design mockup or a graphic where the words are the whole point, everything except the name, handle and text is a distraction that makes the card look busy.

## How it works

1. Paste the link to the post.
1. Leave the likes and the date switched off.
1. Keep the padding near zero and the background transparent.
1. Download the stripped-back PNG.

## Settings on this page

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Format | PNG |
| Aspect ratio | auto |
| Theme | light |
| Background | transparent |
| Padding | 8px |
| Scale | 3x |
| Show metrics | false |
| Show timestamp | false |

This page turns off metrics, the timestamp and the surrounding padding, leaving a tight transparent-background card you can place anywhere. It is the opposite end of the scale from the Reddit preset, which deliberately keeps every piece of metadata.


## Questions

### Why remove the date and like counts?

They add visual weight without adding meaning when the point is the wording. For a verifiable screenshot, keep them on instead.

### Is the background transparent?

Yes, and the padding is almost zero, so you get just the card ready to composite into another design.

### Can I still show the photos in the tweet?

Yes, images stay on by default. Turn them off too if you want text only.
