Create beautiful images using tweetlet
Tweetlet.net site has three different modes for creating images from:
- Tweet to image
- Image to a beautiful image with background
- Text to image
To switch to a particular mode, just hover/click on the icon in the search bar, and using that you can switch to a tweet or image, or text mode.
The image can be resized with the help of the white clips provided on the edge of the image. Dragging by holding those resizers(white clips) will resize the image.
In every mode, there are two buttons for copying and downloading the image. Besides that, you can select the desired background from the preset gradients and adjust the image to a ready-made aspect ratio of 1:1 or 2:1.
1. Tweet to image
To convert any tweet to an image just copy the tweet's link and paste it in the search box of the tweetlet website.
It will create a beautiful quote-like image by default. With the help of controls, you can change it to a tweet mode from quote to make it appear exactly like the actual tweet.
With the help of controls, you can also adjust the size of the text, toggle the likes and shares of a tweet, change the background with various preset gradients.
Finally, when you are satisfied with the image, click copy or download it.
2. Image to a beautiful image with a background
In the image mode of tweetlet, you can upload or paste any image directly in the tweetlet site and it will appear with a cool background.
You can resize the image with the help of the resizers.
A cool trick to create a stack-effect image is to copy the current image and paste it and repeat until the stack level you want.
You can change the background as per your interest and finally copy or download the image to share it on any platform you want.
3. Text to image
This is the most powerful way to convert various kinds of text into a beautiful image.
First, switch to the text mode and you'll see a text box with a resizer at the bottom, dragging which you can resize the height of the text box.
This text box supports markdown text. That means you can have rich text effects using this.
