About this fake messenger chat generator
The fake Messenger chat generator draws a Facebook Messenger-style conversation with blue bubbles for you and grey bubbles for your friend. Set the contact's name and photo, then type as many messages as the joke needs. You can move bubbles up or down, change times and mark messages as sent, delivered or seen.
It works nicely for dad-joke exchanges, surprise-party mix-ups or a scene in a short film. Your draft saves itself in your browser, so you can come back later, and the finished image includes a Prank watermark to keep it clearly in the parody category. Export at 2x or 3x for crisp text.
How to make a fake Messenger Chat (for fun)
- Pick a prank idea. Start from one of 4 ready-made ideas, or keep the default messenger chat.
- Edit the details. Change names, avatar, messages, times, counts and theme in the Content panel — the preview updates as you type.
- Check the preview. On a phone, switch to the Preview tab; the mockup scales to fit your screen.
- Download or share. Save a PNG or JPG at 2x or 3x, copy it, or share it straight from your phone. Then reveal the joke!

Keep it a joke. Mockly makes parody images for fun. Never use a mockup to deceive, defame, harass or defraud anyone, and don't pose as a real person's or brand's official account. Every export carries a small “Prank · altftool.com” watermark. Not affiliated with Messenger or any app shown.
FAQ
Can I add more than two people?
The Messenger template is a one-to-one thread: messages are either from you or from the contact in the header. For group-style chats, try the Discord or Slack templates.
Does it cost anything?
No. The Messenger generator is free, needs no account and keeps your work in your own browser.
Can I get in trouble for a fake Messenger chat?
Not for a harmless joke or parody. It becomes a problem if you use it to trick, defame, bully or defraud someone, which may be illegal and is against platform terms.
How do people know it's a mockup?
Each downloaded or copied image carries a small 'Prank · altftool.com' watermark in the corner.
Is the Messenger Chat generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no limit, and it runs entirely in your browser — your text and images never leave your device.
Will people know it's fake?
They should. Every image carries a small “Prank · altftool.com” watermark, and a good prank is revealed quickly. Mockly is for parody and fun, never for deceiving anyone.
Is it legal to make a fake Messenger screenshot?
Making a parody image for a joke is generally fine. Using one to deceive, defame, harass, impersonate or defraud someone can be illegal and breaks every platform's rules — so don't.
