F1 TOOLS GUIDE
This is the product guide for F1 Tools — how each generator works, what you get when you export, and how privacy is handled. It is not a blog post. For deeper tool write-ups and walkthroughs, see the tutorials.
What F1 Tools is
F1 Tools is a set of browser-based generators for Formula 1–style social graphics. There are four tools today:
- Breaking News — broadcast-style announcement cards
- Race Winner — victory posters with team colours and driver artwork
- Starting Grid — full 22-driver lineup across two carousel pages
- Stewards Notice — A4 decision documents as PNG or PDF
No account is required. Open a tool, edit in the live preview, and download the result. Images you upload are processed in your browser only.
Breaking News generator
Open /create. The canvas is a fixed 1080 × 1350 portrait frame (4:5), which matches Instagram feed posts.
- Pick a team preset to apply brand colours and the matching logo.
- Upload a subject photo (PNG, JPG, or WebP). Drag to reposition; scroll to zoom.
- Write a headline and subtitle. Text colour can be light or dark depending on the background.
- Optionally tweak gradient colours or swap in a custom logo.
- Export with the button or Ctrl/⌘+S. You get a PNG named like
f1-breaking-….png.
Transparent PNGs sit cleanly over the team gradient. Soft, busy JPEGs still work, but cutouts read more like real broadcast lower-thirds.
Race Winner generator
Open /winner. Design on a 1080 × 1350 preview; export at 2160 × 2700 (2× pixel ratio) so the file stays sharp on high-DPI phones.
- Choose a team to set the colour field and branding.
- Select a driver pose (front / left / right) from the built-in artwork, or upload your own cutout.
- Drag and scale the driver on the poster.
- Edit winner name, event line, and round details.
- Export PNG via the button or Ctrl/⌘+S.
Starting Grid generator
Open /grid. The tool lays out all 22 drivers automatically across two pages:
- Page 1 — positions 1–11
- Page 2 — positions 12–22
Each page exports at 1440 × 1880 PNG. Drag drivers to reorder, edit names / numbers / teams, and set the race header. Both pages download together so you can upload them as one Instagram carousel.
Stewards Notice generator
Open /notices. The document is A4 (794 × 1123 CSS pixels). You can fill event metadata, findings, steward names (up to eight), and decision text, then adjust density for longer copy.
- PNG — 1588 × 2246 (2×) for social posts
- PDF — true A4 via jsPDF for sharing or printing

Privacy and local processing
Uploads never leave your device for image generation. The preview is DOM/CSS in the browser; export uses client-side capture (html-to-image) so the PNG or PDF is assembled locally and downloaded to you.
We may collect anonymous usage analytics (pages visited, feature usage). That does not include the contents of your graphics. See the Privacy Policy for details.
