Fake Text Message Generators Compared
Checked on November 10, 2026. We make fake-text-message.net, so we are not neutral. For the other five tools we list only what their own websites say, with a link to each page we read, and we say where they do better.

When fake-text-message.net is the better pick
- You want screenshots with no account and no download limit. PostMock asks for a Google sign-in after two downloads; we never ask for one to make or download a PNG.
- You need one chat in more than one look. Switch the Phone setting between iPhone, Android and WhatsApp and the messages, names and times stay.
- You want an Android chat with the details right: RCS or SMS, the Texting with … (SMS/MMS) line, and the time and Read under the last bubble of a run.
- You want a chat video without signing in. The 9:16 MP4 is free with a small watermark, and Pro removes the watermark. PostMock asks for a sign-in before video export.
When another tool is the better pick
- You need a look we do not have yet, such as Instagram, Telegram, Discord or Snapchat. Mockling lists 18 text conversation styles, TheFake 27 chat layouts and Fakeconvo 22 generators. We have 3.
- You want posts, comments or other mockups besides chats. Mockling, Fakeconvo, TheFake and PostMock all make social posts or similar screens; we make chats only.
- You want a larger PNG for free. Mockling exports PNG up to 4×; our 4K export is part of Pro.
- You want an iPhone text with extra status bar icons. iFake Text Message has switches for Bluetooth, alarm, lock, Do Not Disturb and airplane mode.
How we checked
On November 10, 2026 we opened each tool’s homepage, and its pricing page where it has one, and wrote down only what those pages say. Where a page says nothing about a point, the table says Not stated. Counts are the ones each site gives about itself. Our own row comes from our pricing page and the editor as it is today.
Prices and features change. If a cell is out of date, the linked page is the one to trust, and you can tell us at support@fake-text-message.net.
