A FEW WAYS TO MAKE IT YOURS
iOS Messages chat examples.
A little inspiration to start.
A weekend plan. A little good news. A first look at something new. Start with a conversation below, then write it your way.
Mobile · iMessage · Photos
Finally, a plan for the weekend
A little cabin, a quiet lake and a plan coming together. Start with blue iMessage bubbles, a photo and a classic Love reaction.
Mobile · Dark · Tapbacks
The text you’ve been waiting to send
Keep the words big and the moment simple. A dark iMessage conversation with an excited reply, a tapback and someone still typing.
Mobile · Green bubbles · Text only
A small message. A better morning.
Make a casual catch-up feel familiar with green text-message bubbles. Edit the contact, timing and both sides of the conversation.

Share something you’re proud of
A wider conversation for a presentation or campaign. Share a first look at a collection, then change the photo and feedback to tell your own story.

Let a thoughtful idea bloom
Plan a birthday surprise with a bouquet photo and a few warm words. Replace the photo, adjust its crop and make the conversation yours.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before you
make it yours.
Can I save a project or use content from an AI assistant?
Yes. Save project downloads an editable file with your settings, text and uploaded images. Open project restores it in the same tool, or lets you paste project JSON from an assistant. Review it before replacing your draft. Files are processed in your browser, not uploaded to your account.
Can I use the downloaded images commercially?
Yes. Images exported from these social and app mockup tools can be used in personal projects, social posts, presentations and client work without a Mockaps subscription or attribution. You still need permission for content you add. Platform names and logos belong to their owners; a mockup does not imply their endorsement.
Is this iOS Messages mockup generator free?
Yes. Customize your conversation and download PNG or JPG images at 1×, 2× or 3× for free, without an account or watermark. You can also preview message animations for free. Downloading an animated MP4 requires Pro.
Can I turn plain text into an iOS Messages mockup?
Yes. Choose Paste conversation below the download button. Start each message with You: or the other person’s name, such as Alex:. Choose Preview conversation to check the speakers, then Use conversation to turn the text into editable message bubbles. You can import up to 20 messages and add photos afterward.
Can I animate the conversation?
Yes. Turn on Animation above the preview and press Play. Messages appear automatically in order, with optional typing dots and natural scrolling. Adjust the pace, set pauses before individual replies, or choose a portrait, square or wide frame. Previewing is free. Pro exports a silent H.264 MP4 at 30 fps in 720p or 1080p. Videos can be up to three minutes long. Use an up-to-date Chrome, Edge or Safari for MP4 export.
What can I customize?
Change the contact name and photo, write both sides of the conversation, and add up to 20 text or photo messages. Choose blue or green bubbles, tapback reactions, timestamps, a read receipt and a typing indicator. You can also adjust the message font size, phone time, battery, connection and input bar.
Can I create green text-message bubbles as well as blue iMessages?
Yes. Use Conversation style at the top of the sidebar. Choose iMessage for blue outgoing bubbles or Text message for green ones. Incoming messages use the familiar gray bubbles. Both styles work in light and dark mode.
Can I edit messages directly in the preview?
Yes. Click a text bubble to type in it. The + buttons on the left add messages from your contact; the ones on the right add yours. Use the bar above the image to add photos, choose a colored reaction or delete a message. Clear chat gives you a blank conversation, with an option to undo.
Can I add more than one photo?
Yes. Select a message and choose Add photo above the preview, or choose + Photo inside Messages & photos. Each photo has its own upload and zoom controls. Drag the photo to position it. PNG, JPG and WebP files up to 8 MB are resized in your browser and embedded in the final download.
How do the presets work?
Choose Use this example from the gallery below. Confirm to load the messages, photos, colors and screen settings into the editor. You can restore your previous draft from the examples section until you reload the page.
Can I make the text bigger?
Yes. Screen appearance includes a message font-size control from 14 to 24 pixels. Bubbles wrap and the conversation grows to fit. For a wider presentation layout, choose Wide above the preview. Very long conversations may require a lower export resolution.
Where is my conversation saved?
Your latest draft is saved in this browser on this device, separately from the other mockup tools. It is not saved to your account. Large photo-heavy drafts may exceed browser storage; the editor will tell you if it cannot save.
Does it match the latest iPhone interface?
This tool uses the familiar, classic iOS Messages style rather than a specific current iOS release. It creates images and animated conversation videos for stories, campaign concepts and presentations. It does not send real messages or connect to an Apple account.
