iMessage Chat Generator

Generate a fake iMessage conversation screenshot — blue or green bubbles, contact name, avatar, date separators and a Delivered receipt — from a simple line-by-line script, and download it as SVG.

Input

Drop an image or browse
One file · image

Optional. Stays in your browser — initials are drawn if you skip it.

One message per line. Start a line with me: for your messages, them: for theirs, and --- for a date separator.

Settings

Leave empty to match the message type (iMessage or Text Message).

The screen is a fixed phone-sized frame, so a long conversation scrolls. 0 shows the start, 100 the latest messages. No effect if everything already fits.

For mockups, memes and parody only. Don't present a generated screenshot as a real conversation, and don't use it to impersonate anyone or fabricate evidence.

Guides

Build a realistic fake iMessage conversation — the iPhone status bar, the contact header, blue iMessage or green SMS bubbles with proper iOS tails, date separators and the "Delivered" receipt — and download it as a crisp SVG you can drop into a slide, a mockup, an article or a meme.

Everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type and no photo you pick is uploaded anywhere.

How to use it

  1. Type the contact name and, optionally, upload a contact photo (initials are drawn if you skip it).
  2. Write the conversation, one message per line:
    • me: Yes! 8pm, usual place — your message, a blue (or green) bubble on the right.
    • them: Are we still on for tonight? — the contact's message, a grey bubble on the left.
    • --- Today 9:41 AM — a centred date separator.
    • A line with no prefix is treated as the contact's, so you can paste a plain transcript and add prefixes afterwards.
  3. Pick iMessage (blue) or SMS (green), light or dark appearance, and the status-bar time.
  4. Copy or download the SVG from the output panel.

Consecutive messages from the same person are grouped exactly as iOS groups them: only the last bubble of a run gets a tail.

A real phone screen, not a growing canvas

The output is a fixed 390×844 frame — an actual iPhone's aspect ratio — instead of a canvas that stretches with however many lines you paste in. A short exchange leaves blank space above the input bar, exactly like opening a real conversation; a longer one scrolls inside that same frame. Drag Scroll position to pick which part of a long conversation is visible: 0 shows the start, 100 the latest messages.

Why a script instead of "add message" buttons

The whole conversation lives in one text field, which means it survives everything a repeater can't: a shareable link, a saved preset, a copy-paste out of a real chat export, and a plain API call. Editing message four is a click into a line, not a hunt through a stack of form rows.

Why SVG and not JPG?

An SVG is resolution-independent — the same file is sharp in a 1080p slide and in a 4K screenshot, and it stays a few kilobytes. If you need a raster image, open the SVG and export it at whatever size you want, or drop it straight into Figma, Keynote or Google Slides, which all import SVG.

Can I add timestamps to individual messages?

iOS doesn't show a time on each bubble, so this tool doesn't either — use a --- Today 9:41 AM separator line instead. (A trailing | 09:14 on a line is accepted and ignored here, so a transcript pasted from elsewhere still renders.) If you want a time inside every bubble, the WhatsApp Chat Generator does exactly that.

Is this legal to use?

It's for mockups, parody, memes, tutorials and app-store screenshots. Passing a generated image off as a real conversation — as evidence, or to impersonate someone — is not what it's for and may be illegal where you live.
