Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Instagram tool?
No. This is a free third-party mockup generator for content, mockups and tutorials. It is not affiliated with Instagram or Meta.
Can I use the mockups commercially?
Yes, the images you generate are yours to use. Do not use them to impersonate real people or to mislead — that is against most platforms' terms.
Will it upload my conversations?
No. The tool draws the mockup on a canvas in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
Can I change the avatar image?
You can pick an avatar colour and the first letter of the username is used as the initial. Custom avatar image upload is on the roadmap.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — the editor and PNG download both work on modern mobile browsers.
