About WhatsApp Message Generator
This WhatsApp Message Generator builds a realistic WhatsApp[1] chat mockup that you can download as an image. You write both sides of the conversation, set the time on each bubble, choose whether your messages show as sent, delivered, or read, and the preview updates the moment you type. When it looks right, you can save either the full phone or just the screenshot as a JPG. There is no signup and no watermark.
The small check marks next to a sent message are one of WhatsApp's most recognizable details, a visual read receipt[2]. One gray check means the message left your phone, two gray checks mean it reached the other device, and two blue checks mean it has been read. This generator lets you set that state directly, along with the bubble time, so the mockup matches whatever moment in a conversation you want to show.
WhatsApp[1] is one of the most widely used messaging apps in the world, owned by Meta[3], and it carries messages for billions of people. Every chat is protected with end-to-end encryption[4] built on the Signal Protocol[5], which is why the real app shows that privacy notice at the top of a new chat. This mockup reproduces the look of the chat screen: the green header, the tinted bubbles, and the beige wallpaper, in both light and dark mode. You can read more on the official WhatsApp site[6] and its security page[7].
Everything here runs locally in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored, so your conversation never leaves your device. Like any instant messaging[8] mockup, these images are useful for design work, app store screenshots, tutorials, marketing, and memes, but please use them honestly. They are a storytelling and design tool, not a way to impersonate a real person or fake evidence of a real conversation. For how the real app works, see the WhatsApp Help Center[9].
How to Use
- Set the contact name, the header status such as online, and the status bar time at the top of the controls.
- Choose light or dark mode, then set whether your messages show as sent, delivered, or read.
- Add messages and set each one to come from you or from the other person.
- Give each bubble a time, and add a centered date like Today above any message you want.
- Watch the live preview update, then click Preview and Download, choose the full phone or just the screenshot, and save the JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this WhatsApp message generator free?
Yes. It is completely free with no signup, no account, and no watermark. You can make as many WhatsApp chat mockups as you want and download each one as a JPG.
How do I make a fake WhatsApp chat?
Set the contact name and the header status, then add messages for either side of the conversation. Each message can come from you (the right side, green bubble) or from them (the left side, white bubble), and you can set a time on each bubble. The preview updates in real time, and the Preview and Download button saves the image.
What do the check marks mean on WhatsApp?
One gray check means your message was sent from your phone. Two gray checks mean it was delivered to the other person's device. Two blue checks mean it was read. This tool lets you switch between sent, delivered, and read so the mockup shows exactly the state you want.
Can I make a dark mode WhatsApp screenshot?
Yes. Toggle the phone appearance to dark and the whole chat switches to WhatsApp's dark theme, with the dark header, the near-black wallpaper, and the dark green sent bubbles.
Can I download just the screenshot without the phone frame?
Yes. When you click Preview and Download you can choose Full phone, which includes the phone frame, or Screenshot only, which is just the screen with square corners, exactly like a real WhatsApp screenshot. The preview shows you both before you save.
Does it look like a real WhatsApp chat?
The mockup reproduces the WhatsApp chat screen, including the green header with the avatar and call icons, the beige chat wallpaper, white incoming bubbles and green outgoing bubbles with tails, the bubble times, and the read receipt checks. You can view it in light or dark mode.
Is my conversation private?
Yes. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored. The entire generator runs locally in your browser, so your messages never leave your device.
