Fake text conversations are perfect for memes, comedy bits, product mockups, and playful pranks. Here’s how to craft a believable exchange with the right bubble colors, pacing, and formatting — then export a clean PNG ready for TikTok, Instagram, X, or Reddit.
Quick start
- Open the free iMessage Conversation Editor.
- Write your script: who says what, and in what order.
- Keep the punchline near the end and visible without scrolling.
Building the conversation
-
Choose message types wisely:
Use Blue for your outgoing iMessages, Gray for replies, and Green if you specifically want an SMS look.
-
Use date separators for pacing:
Insert a Date line like “Today 7:03 AM” to imply time gaps and context.
-
Set the top bar:
In Configuration, choose a realistic Time and a contact Name. This subtly cues the scenario (late-night panic, early-morning text, etc.).
-
Write for screenshots:
Keep bubbles short, avoid huge paragraphs, and ensure the final punchline is visible above the keyboard area.
-
Export as PNG:
Click Download As PNG. You’ll get a crisp image that works across social platforms and messaging apps.
Tips for viral‑ready memes and pranks
- Punchy pacing: alternate short lines to build tension and deliver the joke fast.
- Name choice matters: “Landlord”, “HR”, or “Mom” instantly frame the scene.
- Show, don’t tell: avoid explanatory text; let the exchange imply the story.
- Use a Date line sparingly: one separator can imply a time jump without clutter.
- Keep it legible: medium length bubbles read best on mobile feeds.
Platform notes
- Instagram/TikTok: Center the key lines — they should be visible without zooming.
- X/Reddit: Avoid tiny fonts; test readability in dark and light themes.
- Stories: Consider leaving some space above/below for captions or stickers.
Ethics and safety
Keep it fun and harmless. Don’t impersonate real people, forge evidence, or mislead others in ways that could cause harm. Satire, parody, and clearly fictional skits are safer territory.
