Fake Text Message & Chat Video Maker

MockClip is a text message video maker that runs in your browser. Each template recreates one app on an iPhone screen and turns a conversation you write into an animated video: messages arrive one at a time, typing indicators run, and each reply lands on exactly the timing you set.

Choose by where your scene happens. For a fake texting video, start with iMessage or WhatsApp. For a fake DM, use Instagram DM, Discord, Messenger, or Telegram. ChatGPT covers AI chats, Tinder covers swipes and matches, and Reddit covers comment threads. For an interruption, the notification and phone call templates draw banners and call screens.

Every template opens in the same editor. Write the clip by hand without creating an account, or switch to Describe it and have the AI draft the whole clip from one sentence, which requires signing in with Google or GitHub. Either way, you can preview and adjust everything before exporting.

How it works

Pick a template

Choose the app from the list above. Each has its own fields, such as call cards in Discord, reply quotes in Telegram, or tapback reactions in iMessage.

Write or describe the clip

Type messages for each side and set their delays, or describe the clip in a sentence and let the AI fill in messages, names, timing, and read marks.

Frame and export

Pick a light or dark theme, show the iPhone bezel or choose an aspect ratio, then export MP4 or GIF at 720p or Full HD, 15 to 60 fps.

Features

Describe it

The AI writes the whole clip for the chosen template. Refine it by pointing at a moment, like "at 0:04 make her reply angrier". Sign-in required.

Manual editor

Edit every message, name, and avatar by hand, reorder messages, and preview the result before export, with no account needed.

Per-message timing

In chat templates, set the delay before each message and how long typing lasts, so pauses land where the reveal needs them.

Phone frame options

Show an iPhone bezel, or go frameless at 9:16, iPhone size, or 3:2; most templates also offer a 1:1 square crop.

MP4 and GIF output

Every template exports MP4 or GIF. The two notification templates can also export a transparent background as MOV or WebM.

What people make with it

Texting stories

Turn a storytime, a group-chat moment, or a conversation you scripted into a vertical clip for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

DM skits

Act out a slide into the DMs, an awkward reply, or a gaming argument without using real accounts, real names, or edited screenshots.

Demos and explainers

Show an AI chat, an incoming notification, or a typical scam message in tutorials, product demos, onboarding videos, and presentation slides.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a texting video?

Pick a chat template such as iMessage or WhatsApp, write the messages for both people, and set delays and typing time. Press Play to check the pacing, then export an MP4 or GIF. Describe it can also draft the conversation from one sentence.

Which template should I use for a fake text message video?

Use iMessage for an iPhone text thread and WhatsApp for a WhatsApp chat. When you only need one text arriving over another screen, use iMessage Notifications, which shows a banner sliding in from the top.

Can I make a fake DM video?

Yes. Instagram DM, Discord, Messenger, and Telegram each recreate that app's direct messages, with typing shown the way that app shows it. Pick the one your audience will recognize at a glance.

Do I need to download anything?

No. The editor, the preview, and the export all run in your browser. The video is encoded in the page and saved as a file you can import into any editing app.

Is it free?

You can start for free, and the manual editor works without an account. Plans and what each one includes are listed on the pricing page, so check there for current details.
