    Chat mock-up tools and guides

    Every page here opens the ChatsRat editor with a ready sample, so you can change the words and export. ChatsRat makes simulated conversations for videos, thumbnails, teaching, design and storytelling. Exports carry a watermark, and a verify page checks any image.

    Chat styles

    Pick the look of the conversation. Each page opens the editor with that look and a short sample conversation.

    Retro chat looks

    Instant messengers of the dial-up years, redrawn as original mock-ups: AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo and BBM styles.

    Chat looks from around the world

    LINE, KakaoTalk, WeChat, VK, Viber and Zalo styles, with the interface in the language of the app where the editor supports it.

    Use cases

    What people make with a simulated chat, with a ready sample for each.

    Formats and exports

    Screenshot, video, GIF, voiceover, group chat and size options.

    Texting-story video guides by platform

    Sizes, lengths, captions, hashtags and safe zones for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Snapchat Spotlight, Facebook Reels and X. Each page opens a sample that exports at the right shape.

    Guides

    How to write, label, verify and share simulated chats responsibly.

    Ready-made stories

    Full original scripts that open in the editor.

    Styles ChatsRat does not have

    There is no Google Chat-style look and no YouTube live chat-style look in the editor, and SMS text messages use the same look as Android Messages (see the Android Messages page). For a work chat with channels and threads, the Slack and Microsoft Teams looks are the closest. For a live stream chat, the Twitch look is the closest.
