Your chat

One message per line as Name: message. Lines without a name continue the previous message. Add (pause 3) on its own line for a dramatic pause. WhatsApp “Export chat” text works too, timestamps and all.

Fake chat video maker

Turn any chat into a video that looks like a real phone screen recording: messages pop in one by one, with “typing…”, read ticks and dramatic pauses. Pick the look of WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram or Signal, then export an MP4, GIF or WebM for TikTok, Reels, Shorts or the group chat. Free, no sign-up, and nothing you type leaves your device.

How it works

  1. Write the chat. One line per message, like Sam: are you up? Add (pause 2) before a punchline, or start from a funny ready-made chat.
  2. Pick the look. The chat app, iPhone or Android, light or dark, and whose phone it is.
  3. Export and share. Download the video, or share it straight from your phone.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. No sign-up, no app to install and no ads. Everything runs in your browser.

Does my chat get uploaded anywhere?

No. The video is made on your own phone or computer, and what you type never leaves it.

Can I paste a real WhatsApp chat?

Yes. Export a chat from WhatsApp (without media) and paste the text. The iPhone and Android formats are both read, times included.

Which format works for TikTok and Reels?

Pick “phone on a backdrop” and export an MP4: a tall 9:16 video, the shape TikTok, Reels and Shorts want. GIFs are great for group chats.

Is there a watermark?

A tiny “fauxreel” in the corner and a short card at the end, so people know it’s a joke.

Is this made by WhatsApp or Apple?

No. Faux Reel is an independent tool for fun and parody, not linked to any chat app. Please don’t use it to fool or hurt anyone.
