How it works
Make it in three steps
No account, no watermark, nothing uploaded — the whole thing runs in your browser.
1
Upload two images
Image A is the timeline teaser. Image B is the full reveal that appears when someone taps & holds.
2
Fine-tune the reveal
Pick luminance or color-swap mode, adjust strength, and watch the live preview on white, black, or card backgrounds.
3
Download & post
Grab the PNG-8 file and post it from x.com on desktop. Add a caption like “tap and hold” so people know the trick.
Why HoldReveal
Built for the X timeline
Private by design
Compositing runs on your device with the canvas API. Your images never leave your browser.
X-tuned export
PNG-8 output with preserved transparency, sized for X’s hi-res loader so the reveal really works.
Dual-state preview
See the timeline look and the revealed look side by side before you post — on white, black, or card.

How to use (3 steps)
Make a PNG for posts that change when people open the image.
- Put the “before” art in A
- Put the “after” art in B
- Check the preview, save the PNG, post from X on desktop
Want the short “why”? How it works
If it fails
- Post from the X website, not the phone app
- Keep A and B lined up the same way
- Dark mode on X can show the “after” look too early
Quick FAQ
Why does it change?
It’s one see-through PNG. X uses a light background before open and a dark one after—so different parts show. Not a video. How it works
Same as “hold for 4K”?
No. That’s a different trend. This one swaps what the picture looks like.
It doesn’t change well
Match A and B, move Strength, or repost from the computer website.
