Fake Text Message Video Maker

Write a conversation, watch it come alive, export a 1080p video — free.

Start creating — freeAll use cases

Chatimator turns a written conversation into an animated video that looks like a screen recording of a real phone. Messages pop in with spring animations, typing indicators pulse before replies, message sounds play, and the whole thing exports as a 1080p 60fps MP4 — with no watermark and no account required.

Unlike screenshot tools that only produce static images, Chatimator is video-first: it was built for the text-story format that dominates TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. Everything renders in your browser, so your conversations never touch a server and exports finish in seconds.

What you get

Three platforms, pixel-faithful

iMessage, WhatsApp and Instagram DM skins with correct bubbles, status bars, ticks, timestamps and typing indicators — in light and dark mode, on iOS or Android chrome.

Free 1080p video export

Animated MP4 exports at 1080p and 60fps are free — the feature most competitors lock behind a paid plan.

Message sounds included

Send and receive tones are baked into the exported audio track, so the video is post-ready without an editing app.

Rich messages

Photos, videos, voice notes with waveforms, emoji reactions, quoted replies, group chats with named members, and per-message timestamps.

Rendered on your device

Powered by WebCodecs — no uploads, no queues, no server ever sees your script.

How it works

  1. 1

    Write the conversation

    Type messages like you'd text them — Enter adds a bubble and the sender alternates automatically.

  2. 2

    Style it

    Pick the platform, dark or light mode, iOS or Android, contact name and photo, and the video format (9:16, 1:1 or 16:9).

  3. 3

    Export

    Press Export and download a 1080p MP4 in seconds, or grab a PNG screenshot.

Frequently asked questions

Is Chatimator really free?

Yes. Video export, AI script generation, all three platform skins, group chats, media messages and sounds are free with no watermark and no account. A Pro tier with 4K export and higher AI limits is planned, but everything currently free stays free.

Does the video have a watermark?

No. Exports are clean 1080p MP4 files with no watermark or branding.

Do my conversations get uploaded anywhere?

No. Chatimator renders entirely in your browser using WebCodecs. Scripts are saved to your browser's local storage and never sent to a server.

What formats can I export?

MP4 video (H.264 + AAC) at 1080p 60fps in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, plus PNG screenshots. Browsers without H.264 encoding fall back to WebM.

Is it legal to make fake text videos?

Fake chats for fiction, skits, ads and mockups are a standard creative format. Don't use generated conversations to defame real people or commit fraud — label fictional content clearly.
