What the LINE-style look is for
The LINE-style look is a compact messenger layout: the other person on the left, you on the right, and a small read mark beside your latest message. It suits stories set in Japan, Taiwan or Thailand, language lessons, and any mock-up where you want a chat that does not look like a phone default. It needs the Standard plan or above.
ChatsRat draws its own interface in a similar general style and uses the name LINE only to describe the kind of layout. There is no affiliation with the company behind the app.
Write a dinner plan that feels lived in
Pick a small, concrete plan: a ramen shop, a train time, a meeting spot. Two friends settling a dinner is easy to follow in four bubbles. Let the first message ask, the second answer with one detail, and the third fix the time. Short replies such as ok or see you there make it sound like real chatting.
What this look supports
In the editor this look supports read receipts, plus reactions and replies on paid plans. It has no typing indicator and no online status, so do not plan a scene that depends on a typing pause. The settings also offer a Japanese interface, which shows the read mark as 既読 and writes times in 24-hour form. Turn the read receipt on the last message when you want the viewer to see that it was opened and not yet answered.
Teaching with it: language and timestamps
If you make language content, write the bubbles in the language you teach and put the translation in your caption or slide, not inside the chat. Use absolute timestamps like 6:42 PM so learners can follow the order of events, and check in the live preview that every character displays correctly before you export.
Tips
- Keep each bubble to one thought, as people do on a phone walking to a station.
- Use the first message to name the place or the time so a viewer is oriented at once.
- Put translations and notes outside the chat image, in a caption or on the slide.
- Do not rely on a typing pause or an online dot here, because this look does not offer them.
Questions
Which plan do I need for the LINE-style look?
The Standard plan or above. The Free plan has a smaller set of looks. The plans page lists exactly what each plan includes.
Can I add a typing indicator?
No. This look does not offer a typing indicator or an online status. It does offer read receipts, and reactions and replies on paid plans.
Is this made by or connected to LINE?
No. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by LINE. It draws its own layout in a similar general style.
Can I use Japanese or Thai text?
You can type in any language your keyboard supports. Check the live preview for line breaks and characters before you export a final image.
Do I need to label the image?
If people might take it for a real exchange, yes. A short line such as Simulated conversation for illustrative purposes is enough.
Use it for simulated, labelled content. ChatsRat makes mock-ups and fictional conversations for creators, designers and teachers. Do not use it to pass off a made-up conversation as a real one, to impersonate a real person, or as proof of anything. See the Acceptable Use policy.
About the watermark. Exports on the Free plan carry a visible ChatsRat watermark, and every export carries an invisible mark that the verify page can read. Plans list what changes on paid plans.
