How to stage a fictional chat mockup

  1. 01

    Name the fictional contact

    Enter the attribution or fictional contact. Identity text appears at the top of the artwork. Every value is supplied by you; no account is queried.

  2. 02

    Write both lines

    Fill Incoming line and Outgoing line with up to 400 characters each. The lines render as the two bubbles of a single exchange — the incoming bubble in a neutral gray on the left, the outgoing one in a pale green offset to the right.

  3. 03

    Set the scripted time

    Enter a scripted time of up to 20 characters. It appears below the message bubbles in the preview and PNG. This is your own caption, not a verified timestamp; this tool has no device-label field.

  4. 04

    Generate and review the concept card

    Generate lays out a PNG locally, and the preview displays that exact downloadable image. Editing or resetting clears the old result. Expand the text summary below the preview to read or copy its content. Fixed image labels use this page’s language; your text is preserved.

  5. 05

    Export the exchange

    Download the marked 1200 × 900 PNG. Check the fictional contact, incoming and outgoing lines, and scripted time against the preview; keep the fictional marking visible when sharing.

What Instagram DM Generator actually does

A UX writer is prototyping support replies and needs a conversation layout for the design review — not a screenshot of anyone's real inbox. She drafts the incoming question at full length, answers it in the outgoing line, sets the scripted time to 10:42, and exports the labelled PNG straight into the review document. Instagram DM Generator lays the exchange on a landscape concept card labelled FICTIONAL CHAT MOCKUP and timestamped as SCRIPTED, so stakeholders react to the wording instead of questioning the provenance. The dialogue being drafted never leaves the writer's browser tab.

Common questions

Can this produce evidence of a real conversation?
No. All names, messages and times are supplied by you. The image is a fictional design prop and cannot authenticate a conversation or its participants. Keep the fictional marking visible when sharing it.
What are the field limits?
Fictional contact takes 60 characters, each of the Incoming line and Outgoing line fields takes 400, and Scripted time takes 20. At least one field must be filled before generation, and the fields stop accepting input at their limits.
What happens to long messages?
A character limit does not guarantee that text fits the canvas. Wrapping uses actual font widths and grapheme boundaries. Overflow produces an error and no truncated image. Shorten the text or split it across multiple mockups.
What does the exported PNG look like?
The PNG shows the invented contact, a gray incoming bubble on the left, a pale-green outgoing bubble on the right, and your scripted time. It also carries localized fictional and local-creation labels. The text summary is a separate download; neither output is an Instagram message record.
Is the dialogue uploaded anywhere?
No. Both lines, the contact name, and the rendered image stay inside this browser tab. No account is required, and Reset or closing the tab discards everything that was entered, so an abandoned draft leaves nothing behind.
