Built by a writer, for writers.
Notes2Pic is a bootstrapped, single-person project created to give creators full formatting control over their social media shares.
Hi, I’m Jeruel Richard, the creator of Notes2Pic.
Like many writers, I used to spend hours copy-pasting my written posts from Substack and X into Canva or Figma to turn them into Instagram-ready carousels. It was a tedious process of nudging text boxes, scaling avatars, and fighting browser screenshot crops.
I tried using automated link-to-image screenshot generators, but they constantly broke because of social platforms blocking scrapers, rate limiting APIs, or changing their HTML layouts. Plus, they were cluttered and didn't support clean medium-form text formatting.
Link First, Then Make It Yours
I decided to build a tool that does one job well: turn a public X post, Threads post, or Substack Note into an editable image. Paste the link first, then check the pulled details, choose a styling preset, and export a high-res PNG in seconds. Starting from scratch is still there when you need it.
That approach gives writers three useful things:
- No account connection: We read only the public post you choose. Notes2Pic never asks for your X, Threads, or Substack login and never posts on your behalf.
- Full Creative Control: You can edit typography, line breaks, indentation, handles, and avatars exactly the way you want them to display.
- A useful fallback: If a public link is unavailable, you can still paste text or build the card yourself instead of being stuck.
Transparency and Trust
Notes2Pic operates transparently. It is not owned by a giant corporation or funded by VC money. It is a solo, self-funded project. When you pay for a plan or write in for support, you are speaking directly to me.
