Fake YouTube Community Post Maker
Create realistic mockups of YouTube community posts (text, images, polls, quizzes) with our free tool.
Best Practices for Designing YouTube Community Posts
- Pick the right type: Choose between Text, Image, Link, Poll, or Quiz based on your goal.
- Keep it concise: One or two punchy lines work best. Put the hook first.
- Use media wisely: Add images or a video preview only when they add context and drive clicks.
- Polls vs Quizzes: Polls show vote percentages; quizzes have a correct answer and show answered instead of votes.
- Limit options: 3–5 clear options perform better than long lists.
- Explain quizzes: Add a short explanation so users learn after selecting the answer.
- Make it scannable: Use line breaks, #hashtags, and @mentions to improve readability.
- Privacy: Inputs are only used to render the preview. Nothing is stored.

Why Community Posts Matter
🎯Reach Between Uploads
Stay top-of-mind on off days by sharing quick updates, ideas, or teasers directly in your subscribers’ feeds.
💬Boost Engagement
Polls and quizzes invite participation, leading to more comments, likes, and return visits.
🔗Promote Videos & Offers
Share new uploads, playlists, products, or live streams to funnel traffic where you need it.
Adding Media & Links
🖼️Use Images Intentionally
Choose visuals that add context or tease content. Avoid cluttered or text-heavy images.
🎬Add Video Cards or Links
Link to your latest upload, relevant playlists, or upcoming streams to drive clicks.
🔗Include Relevant External Links
Share resources, store pages, or socials—keep them minimal and on-topic.
🧭Guide with a Clear CTA
End with a simple action: “Vote below,” “Watch now,” or “Join the live.”
What to Include in a Post
Clear, Short Text
Lead with the hook in one to two lines. Keep it conversational.
Relevant Media
Attach an image or video link if it adds context or encourages clicks.
Call-to-Action
Ask a question, invite votes, or direct readers to watch a video or join a stream.
Scheduling
Consider the timing—post when your audience is most active for better reach.
Relevant Links
Share only essential links (latest video, playlist, product) to avoid clutter.
Hashtags & Mentions
Use a few relevant #hashtags and @mentions to improve discoverability.
What to Avoid in Community Posts
Review YouTube policies before posting. Learn more at YouTube’s Community Guidelines.
Links to Harmful or Inappropriate Content
Never include links to malware, adult content, or any site that violates YouTube’s community guidelines. Such links can get your video removed or your channel penalized.
Spam or Misleading Material
Avoid keyword stuffing, irrelevant tags, or deceptive statements. These practices can hurt your credibility and may lead to video takedowns.
Hate Speech or Offensive Language
Do not use language that targets, insults, or discriminates against individuals or groups. YouTube strictly enforces rules against hate speech.
Prohibited or Restricted Products
Don’t promote items that are banned on YouTube, such as firearms, drugs, or counterfeit goods. Check YouTube’s policies before including any product links.
Tips for Higher Engagement
Start with a Strong Hook
Lead with a bold statement or question. Keep the first line short so it’s visible without expanding.
Post at the Right Time
Share when your audience is most active to maximize impressions and votes.
Use Polls & Quizzes
Polls are great for quick opinions; quizzes add gamification and learning with explanations.
Keep Style Consistent
Use a familiar voice and formatting so posts feel on-brand and recognizable.
Invite Interaction
Ask a direct question or request feedback. Pin a top comment for visibility.
Test & Iterate
Try different hooks, images, and question formats. Double down on what performs.

It's a sandbox to design YouTube-style community posts (text, images, links, polls, and quizzes), preview them in a realistic UI, and export them as images for sharing.

Polls collect votes and show percentages; quizzes have a single correct answer with an optional explanation and show 'answered' instead of 'votes'.
