VK-style chat maker
Build a short VK-style chat with online status and read marks. ChatsRat draws it with a shared layout, so this page explains plainly what you get.
Try it: start from this sample
What you get with the VK-style look
ChatsRat draws this look with its shared layout, so the colours and bubble shapes are an approximation of the style, not a copy. You still get a clean two-person chat with names, an online dot where the look supports it, and a read mark. It needs the Standard plan or above.
ChatsRat draws its own interface in a similar general style and uses the name VK only to describe the kind of layout. Nothing here uses a logo, an icon or sticker art from the service.
Choose a story that does not depend on exact details
Because the layout is an approximation, build scenes where the words carry the meaning: a journey, a school reunion, a neighbour asking to borrow a ladder. A viewer who knows the original service will not expect a pixel match, and a viewer who does not will simply read it as a friendly messenger.
Using the online dot and typing pause
This look supports online status, read receipts and a typing indicator, but not reactions. Use the online dot to open a scene, for example a friend who appears just as the other person is about to give up waiting. A typing pause before a short answer adds a beat of suspense in a video export.
If a scene needs emoji reactions under a message, pick another look for it, since this one does not offer them and a workaround would look odd.
Writing for Russian-speaking characters
You can type any language your keyboard supports, including Cyrillic. Look at the live preview for line breaks before exporting. If you publish text in a language you do not read well, ask a fluent speaker to check it first.
Tips
- Open the live preview and judge the layout by readability, not by how close it looks to a real app.
- Give each character one habit, like the tea in the sample, so two short bubbles still feel personal.
- Turn on read receipts for the last message when you want a viewer to notice an unanswered question.
- Use invented adult names only, and avoid real phone numbers or usernames in any bubble.
- Add a caption such as Simulated conversation for illustrative purposes when the image could pass for real.
Questions
Does ChatsRat have a layout drawn specifically for VK?
No. ChatsRat uses its shared layout for this look, so the colours and bubble shapes are an approximation of the style, not a copy. The words, names and times are fully yours to edit.
Which plan do I need?
The VK-style look is on the Standard plan or above. The plans page lists what each plan includes, including export formats and the visible watermark rules.
Can I show a typing indicator or an online status?
Yes, this look supports both, along with read receipts. It does not offer reactions, so choose another look if a scene needs them.
Is this connected to VK?
No. ChatsRat is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by VK or any other messaging app. The name only describes the kind of layout.
Can I use it to make a chat look like a real person wrote it?
No. Use invented characters, and label the image as simulated if people might take it for a real exchange. Impersonating real people is against the acceptable use policy.
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.
