JPG, PNG or WebP - paint what stays visible, then download a PNG8 for X

Private by design - the checkerboard transform and PNG8 export run entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to our servers.

How it works

X flattens transparent PNGs onto a white thumbnail in the timeline, and shows the original on black when you tap and hold. A 1×1 checkerboard of solid and transparent pixels exploits that difference.

1

Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP of the image you want to hide.

2

Paint the areas that should stay visible in the timeline thumbnail.

3

Compare the white-timeline vs black tap-hold previews live.

4

Download the PNG8 file and post it on x.com from a desktop browser.
