Fake iMessage Chat Generator
Blue bubbles, gray bubbles, typing dots and 'Delivered' — exactly like iOS.
Chatimator recreates Apple's Messages app in detail: the blue-to-gray gradient on sent bubbles, the tail on the last bubble of a group, the centered contact header with avatar, the 'Delivered' receipt under your last message, the iOS status bar with 9:41, and the ellipsis typing indicator that pulses before a reply lands.
Because it's video-first, you can export the whole conversation as an animated MP4 — including an optional on-screen iOS keyboard that types outgoing messages character by character with realistic human rhythm, typos and corrections. Or export a still PNG if you just need a screenshot.
What you get
Authentic iOS details
Bubble gradients and tails, Delivered receipts, emoji-only large rendering, tapback-style reactions, the iMessage input bar and the iOS keyboard.
Dark and light mode
Both iOS appearances, drawn with the exact background, bubble and text colors.
Typing indicator
The three-dot ellipsis bubble appears before incoming messages, timed to message length.
Live keyboard typing
Optional keyboard mode types your messages on screen with human pacing, fat-finger typos and backspace corrections.
Send & receive sounds
Message tones are mixed into the export's audio track at the exact frame each bubble lands.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make a fake iMessage video, not just a screenshot?
Yes — that's Chatimator's specialty. Conversations export as animated 1080p MP4s with typing indicators, message sounds and optional live keyboard typing.
Does it show 'Delivered' like real iMessage?
Yes, a Delivered receipt renders under your most recent sent message, and the date chip shows 'Today' with your chosen time.
Can I use my own profile picture?
Yes. Upload any photo for the contact avatar, or use an emoji with a colored gradient background.
Does it work for group iMessage chats?
Yes — enable Group conversation to add multiple named members with their own avatars; sender names appear above bubbles like real group threads.
