FAQ
X / Twitter post cover FAQ.
Can I generate an X post cover from YouTube for free?
Yes — paste a link to start. Free and paid plan limits for covers apply in TubeSeeks.
What size is an X post cover?
Drafts target landscape layouts that fit how X displays attached media. Always preview the crop on X before you publish.
Can I use this for thread images?
Yes. Use the cover as the lead visual on the first post of a thread, or as a repeating still across posts.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Shorts links work; you may prefer a wider crop from a landscape upload when the timeline needs a horizontal still.
Do I need to download the video file?
No. The cover is generated from the link. Download video only if you need the source file separately.
Is it okay to use any YouTube video?
Only use videos you own or have permission to reuse, and follow YouTube’s terms and copyright law.
