1. Design Your Instagram DM Conversation
Use the embedded fake Instagram chat generator below. Enter usernames, avatars, and your conversation. The tool mimics the classic Instagram DM look: purple-to-pink gradient bubbles for sent messages, light grey for received, round avatars in the header, ‘Seen’ receipts, heart reactions, and dark mode. It’s ideal for influencer skits, mockups, or storytelling.
2. Export the Animated Chat Overlay
- Click ‘Export’ and choose MP4 (animated video) or PNG (screenshot).
- Animated video exports include the DM interface’s solid background, matching Instagram’s style. Transparent backgrounds are not supported.
- No signup or app install needed. The export is free with a small watermark (removable with a code).
3. Add the Chat Overlay to Your Video or Stream
- In CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or similar editors: Import the MP4 overlay as a new video track.
- Scale and position it as a picture-in-picture inset - popular placements are the lower corner or side of your footage.
- Optional: Add rounded borders or a phone frame for realism. Mask the overlay if you want a cut-out effect (use the PNG screenshot for easier masking).
- In OBS: Add the exported video as a media source, resize, and place it on your stream layout.
- Sync message timing to your voiceover or reactions for a seamless effect.
4. Use Responsibly
Vidulk’s fake chat generator is for entertainment, skits, memes, and mockups only. Never use overlays to impersonate real people or mislead viewers. Label staged chats clearly if there’s potential for confusion.
