- 1

- 2

- 3
Download the screenshot
Save a PNG at 2x or 3x, either as a phone screen with the status bar or as the whole chat in one long image. No watermark.
What makes the screenshot look real
Six chat apps
Each style has its own bubbles, colours, header and input bar, so a WhatsApp chat and an iMessage chat do not look alike.
Phone screen or whole chat
Export one phone screen with the status bar and the time you set, or the whole conversation as a single tall image.
Read receipts
Ticks, "Read", "Seen" or the reader's avatar, whichever the app shows, under or next to your newest message.
Replies and reactions
Quote an earlier message in a reply and add emoji reactions in every chat style.
Dark mode
Switch the whole screen to dark with one click, as people do on their own phones.
Five languages
"Today", "Read", the input bar and the rest of the app text in English, Portuguese, German, Spanish or French.

Fake chat screenshot questions
- Is the chat screenshot generator free?
- Yes. Make as many screenshots as you like and download the PNG for free, with no watermark and no account.
- Which apps can I make a screenshot of?
- WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram DM, Android SMS, Snapchat chat and Messenger chats. We also have generators for posts, stories and comments; see the list at the end of this page.
- Can I screenshot a long chat?
- Yes. Under Image size, pick "Whole chat" to get every message in one tall PNG instead of a single phone screen.
- Are my messages uploaded anywhere?
- No. The chat is saved only in your browser and the PNG is made there too.
- Can I make a fake screenshot of a real person's messages?
- No. It is for mock-ups, stories and lessons. Passing a made-up screenshot off as real, or impersonating someone, is against our acceptable use policy.
