Tips Cover Maker — type a big headline and it's done
For a tips or listicle post, the cover decides whether anyone taps. This scene presets a 3:4 vertical, big-headline-on-top layout: type your headline (say, "5 habits I wish I'd known sooner"), the type auto-scales to fill the frame, switch the theme for a different look, and export a 1080×1440 image. It all runs in your browser — no login, no watermark, nothing uploaded.

Why the headline goes on top, big
Vertical feeds show your cover at thumbnail size on a phone. People scan past in a fraction of a second and only register the largest words. So the rule for a tips cover is: turn your strongest promise — a number, a pain point, a result — into a headline that fills the frame, and demote everything else to one small line. This scene is preset to exactly that, so you only type.
Write a headline people actually tap
Swap "some habits I like" for "5 habits I wish I knew sooner": a number, first person, and a touch of regret changes the tap rate completely. Other proven shapes: "The thing top performers quietly do," "90% of people get X wrong." Nail the line and the cover is half done.
Making a whole series? Batch it
If you're running a series (Habit 1/5, 2/5…), use one theme across every cover so the set reads as one brand. To export a full set at once, the Xiaohongshu cover maker has a batch box — one title per line, zipped download.
Frequently asked questions
What size should the cover be?
A 3:4 vertical, commonly 1080×1440 px — the largest, most eye-catching ratio in a vertical feed. That's the default here, so exports are ready to post.
Do exports have a watermark?
No. Every image Poster Cat exports is clean and watermark-free — the whole point versus membership tools.
What if my headline is too long?
The type auto-scales to fit, but short headlines hit harder. Keep the main line to a handful of words and push details into the body of your post.
