How to generate an iMessage chat
Set the header
Enter a contact name, status time, theme, and bubble color.
Write the thread
Add messages, choose Me or Them, and drop in a time label when you want a separator.
Export the picture
Download a PNG or copy it for a post, slide, or storyboard.
Tips for chat mockups
- 01
Keep lines short
Real texts are usually one or two sentences. Long paragraphs look staged.
- 02
Use one time label per gap
A separator reads best when the clock actually jumps, not on every bubble.
- 03
Match bubble color to the story
Blue for Apple-to-Apple. Green when the other person is on SMS.
- 04
Label it as a mockup
If you publish the image, make it clear the thread was composed, not exported from a phone.
Great for
Social posts
Illustrate a joke or story with a Messages-style frame.
Product mockups
Show sample chat copy in a deck without a device screenshot.
Storyboards
Sketch a support or onboarding thread before designing the real UI.
