Open page +Tap and hold image FAQ
The file format and the final X upload path matter as much as the design itself.
What is a tap and hold image?+
It is a transparent PNG prepared so the X timeline shows a clue or faint first state and the expanded view reveals the complete image. The final effect depends on how X processes the uploaded file.
Is this tap and hold image maker free?+
Yes. RevealStudio is free to use, requires no account, and adds no watermark to the exported PNG.
Are my pictures uploaded to a server?+
No. Uploading, masking, previewing, and PNG8 export happen locally in your browser. Your source image is not sent to an image-processing server.
Why does the downloaded image need to stay PNG?+
The reveal relies on transparency. Converting the file to JPEG, taking a screenshot, or passing it through an app that flattens alpha can destroy the effect.
Why can the result look different after posting to X?+
X may resize, compress, crop, or display the picture differently across devices. Keep the original PNG8 and test the published post before using it for an important campaign.
