About ChatMocker

ChatMocker is a web tool for making mockups of chat conversations that look like real messaging apps. Creators write the messages for a simulated conversation and produce either a static image or an animated text message video, without needing to record a phone screen.

The video output is rendered on the server and exported as 60 fps MP4 files, which the vendor positions for short-form platforms such as TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Because the conversations are scripted, they are suited to storytelling, skits and design mockups rather than to capturing real chats.
