Reddit Post Templates and a Free AI Post Generator

Every template on this page has a Blank version with bracketed placeholders and a Filled example that shows the same structure with realistic details. Switch the toggle on any card and hit Copy template. The blank versions are free, need no login, and work for any niche: SaaS, ecommerce, freelancing, hobbies, finance or personal stories.

Check four things before you submit. First, the subreddit's rules and required flair, since many communities auto-remove posts with no flair. Second, your account against the subreddit's karma and account-age thresholds, which AutoModerator enforces silently. Third, the post format (text only, no links in the body, weekly self-promo thread, and so on). Fourth, the draft itself: lead with a real lesson or question, keep any product mention to the last line, and cut hype words. The 12-point checklist on this page covers each one in order.

An instant removal almost always comes from an automated layer, not a human. Reddit's site-wide spam filter catches repeated links and bot-like patterns, and AutoModerator catches accounts under the subreddit's karma or age threshold, missing flair, and banned domains or keywords. Open the post in a logged-out window to confirm it is gone, look for a removal comment or modmail, then send the mods a short, polite modmail asking whether it was automated and what to change. Do not delete and repost the same text.

Some communities do. On August 5, 2026 Reddit expanded Rules Hub, a moderation tool built on large language models that checks posts against the intent of a subreddit's written rules instead of a keyword list. Reddit says it was tested in more than 700 communities, it is open to newly created communities, and wider availability is planned for later in 2026. Moderators choose which rules to automate and whether a match goes to the mod queue, gets filtered or gets removed. Rewording a promotional post to dodge keywords works less and less, so write a post that fits the rule, not one that slips past it.

Reddit's own spam policy targets repeated or unsolicited actions, like posting the same link across many communities or programming bots to promote a product. Keep promotion rare, give real value first, take part in the community before posting any links, and read each subreddit's rules. Many communities still follow the old 10% guideline: no more than roughly one in ten of your contributions should be about your own thing.

Yes, by putting the subreddit and the angle into the topic box. The generator writes from your topic description, so a topic like "a lessons-learned post for r/freelance about raising my rates after 2 years" gives a much closer draft than "raising rates". Then check that subreddit's rules, since two communities on the same topic can have opposite rules about links and self-promotion, and use the template fit table on this page to match the format.

Yes. The Reddit Post Generator and all 12 templates are free to use with no login. The generator is rate-limited to 5 drafts per minute per visitor to prevent abuse. The paid MediaFast plan adds subreddit discovery, rule checks, scheduling and ban-prevention guidance.

The generator writes the post body: a hook line, short context, the value and a closing question. Pick the title yourself with one of the six title formulas on this page, since the title decides whether anyone opens the post and works best when it states your real result. Paste it into the free Reddit Title Analyzer for a quick score before you submit.

Some will. Reddit's site-wide rules do not ban AI-assisted writing, but individual subreddits can and do set their own AI rules, and moderators interviewed in a 2025 Cornell study described AI content as a threat to quality and to real person-to-person discussion. Treat the generator's output as a first draft: replace any example numbers with your real ones, add your own experience, cut generic phrasing, and read the subreddit's rules for an AI clause before posting.

Reddit allows titles up to 300 characters and text post bodies up to 40,000 characters, but most well-received posts are far shorter. A title that reads well in a feed, and a body of a few short paragraphs with one clear point, usually beats a wall of text. Some subreddits set their own minimum or maximum lengths, so check the rules.

For mockups, yes, as long as nobody is misled. The generator writes the text and the preview frame shows it in a Reddit-style card you can screenshot for a slide, a storytime video script or an ad concept. Label it as a mockup, use made-up usernames, and never present it as a real post by a real person. Reddit's rules ban impersonating people or organizations in a misleading way, and posting a fabricated story as true can get it removed.

Use the Personal Story template. It follows the arc story-driven subreddits reward: the setup and what was at stake, the turning point told in order, the lesson, and a question that opens the thread. It doubles as a Reddit stories template for video creators. To generate one, describe the story in the topic box with the key moment and the outcome, then edit the draft in your own voice.

The templates are built for posts, but the same rules carry over to comments: answer the question that was asked, add one detail from your own experience, and leave links out unless someone asks. Rewrite any comment fully in your own words, since comments are where Reddit users are quickest to spot anything canned or promotional.

For a launch, use Launch or Show and Tell in a subreddit built for showing projects, or Soft Promotion, Value First where the rules allow self-promotion. Lead with the problem or the process, mention the product once, and put the link in a comment if the subreddit restricts links in text posts. For a discussion, use Ask for Advice or Comparison: describe your situation, say what you already tried, and end with a real question instead of a call to action.
