Whether you want to prank someone or just want to test out your theories, you can create a fake social media profile or post. It could be for educational purposes, filmmaking, or creating humorous or satirical content for entertainment. Of course, creating social media accounts is easy, but to push legitimate looking updates is tricky. Here are some free tools to create fake social media posts.

1. Zeoob
I wanted to prank one of my friends with a fake Instagram post, and that’s when I stumbled across the Zeoob. It’s a free, easy-to-use tool with everything I need to create fake posts for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or TikTok.

All I did was upload the profile picture, add text and images, and customize the likes, comments, and other smaller elements. After that, I hit the Generate Fake Post button on the site, and wait for the download link for the fake social media post update poster.
For testing, I created a fake Instagram post. And I was shocked to see how realistic it looks.
Things to Keep in Mind:
- Upload a square profile picture to avoid image squeezing.
- The image resolutions are not high quality (446 x 760).
2. Prankshit
If you think Zeoob’s online tool has a wide range of social media features, wait until you try Prankshit.

This tool not only creates fake posts for social media platforms, but can also generate fake invoices, emails, SMS messages, WhatsApp chats, and more. To give you a better idea, I’ve put together a completely fake WhatsApp chat to show you just how similar the user interfaces of the original and the fake app can look.
On top of all this, while creating a fake social media post, you will get the option to choose between Android and iPhone layouts. The only feature I miss in this tool is the option to switch to dark mode.
3. Fake Detail
Another free fake social media generator tool I recommend is Fake Detail. With this tool, you can generate fake posts and chats from various popular social media platforms, similar to the previous two web tools.

In my experience, the app was easy to use, and all the customizations I wanted were just one click away. However, some of the UI elements and icons may look outdated or incorrect. Other than that, everything else works as expected, and it won’t disappoint you.
4. Popupsmart
So far, the websites I’ve shown you only allow you to create fake YouTube video posts for Android and iPhone layouts. But what if you want a web version? That’s where Popupsmart comes into play. With a bit of customization, you can create your own fake YouTube video post.

And not just that, you can even use it to create fake Instagram posts, Google search results, tweets, and more. Overall, this online tool is excellent and effectively serves its intended purpose. And yeah, it’s free.
Things to keep in mind
- You can’t switch to a dark theme
- There’s no option to add a video control bar
- Profile pictures will shrink if the image ratio isn’t square
- Many popular social media platforms are missing, such as Facebook, Snapchat, and TikTok
While these online tools useful, we urge you to use them responsibly. Besides creating fake posts, you can create fake incoming call on your iPhone or Android to get out from awkward situations.
