LINEGroup chats
Planning hanami
A friend group picking a park and a date. The pale blue-teal wallpaper and the Read marker are what make it LINE.

Fake LINE chat & screenshot generator
Build a LINE conversation on the pale blue-teal wallpaper that identifies it, with green bubbles at LINE's own radius and the Read marker sitting outside the bubble beside the timestamp — because LINE has never used ticks.

Use this templateHow to make a LINE mockup
Start from an example
The three above are real LINE shapes: a friend group planning hanami, swapping a shift at a part-time job, and a fake-delivery scam with its tells named.
Set the contact or group
A person for a one-to-one, or turn on Group and name the thread. Japanese, Thai and Chinese all render, in the header as well as the bubbles.
Write the messages
Set who sent each one and when. In a group, incoming messages get the sender's name above them automatically.
Set Read on your own messages
That is what produces the tiny grey marker outside the bubble — the single most LINE thing on the screen. Ticks are not an option, because LINE has never had them.
Export
PNG at 1× free, up to 3× on Pro, the whole thread or one screen, with or without the phone frame.
How the LINE interface is put together
Our LINE skin is rebuilt from the real interface in code rather than traced from a screenshot, so the details that make it recognisable survive at export resolution. Here is what those details actually are.
“Read” sits outside the bubble
This is the LINE detail. Your own messages carry a tiny grey Read — 既読 in Japanese — beside the timestamp, outside and below the bubble. LINE has never used ticks of any kind, so a checkmark on a LINE mockup is wrong in the most visible possible place.
The timestamp is outside too
Time sits under the read marker, bottom-aligned to the bubble rather than inside it. WhatsApp tucks the time into the bubble's bottom corner; LINE puts both pieces of metadata beside it. That one layout choice changes the rhythm of the whole thread.
The thread sits on a wallpaper
LINE's default is a distinctive pale blue-teal, not white. A white background is the first thing that looks wrong on a LINE mockup, and it is the most common mistake because every other messenger defaults to white or near-white.
Green bubbles, but not WeChat's green
LINE green is saturated with white text, and the corners are a soft 18px — much rounder than WeChat's near-square 4px. Two green messengers, and almost nothing about how they draw a bubble is the same.
Names above incoming messages in a group
In a group, each incoming message shows the sender's name above it in small grey, with a circular avatar beside it. That is how a LINE group reads, and it is why group scenes here need the People section filled in.
The header carries call and video
Free voice and video calling are prominent in LINE and both icons sit in the header, followed by a down chevron for the chat menu. It is a busier header than most messengers have.

Questions about LINE mockups
- How do I get the Read marker?
- Set the receipt on your own message to read and it appears as small grey text outside the bubble, beside the time. It only ever shows on messages you sent — you cannot see whether you have read your own.
- Can I use Japanese, Thai or Chinese?
- Yes. Type or paste directly and it renders throughout, including in the header. The examples above mix scripts because real LINE threads do.
- Can I change the wallpaper?
- The default blue-teal is what makes it read as LINE, so that is what the skin draws. If you need something else, the Look section controls the scene's theme and the Device section handles the frame.
- Can I make a group?
- Yes. Turn on Group, name the thread and add people in the People section. LINE shows the sender's name above each incoming message in a group, which happens automatically.
- Can I fake a message from a real person?
- No, and our terms prohibit it. Attributing an invented message to a named real person is impersonation. Every example on this page uses fictional people.
- Is this useful for scam-awareness material?
- Yes — the fake-delivery example above is written for exactly that, with the tells named in the reply. Parcel-fee scams on LINE are common in the markets where it dominates, and showing one safely beats pointing at a live message.
- Can I export a long thread?
- Yes. The download dialog offers the whole conversation at its true height, exactly one screen, or fit-to-content, so nothing is cropped at the fold.
- Is there a watermark?
- Free downloads carry a small SIMULATED · socialmock.com label, burned into the pixels, at 1× resolution. Pro removes the label and unlocks 2× and 3×. You can also switch the label on yourself at any tier, which is worth doing if a viewer might take the image at face value.
Use these responsibly
Everything made here is simulated. SocialMock has no connection to LINE and cannot read, send or alter a real message. Do not use a mockup to impersonate anyone, pass it off as a genuine screenshot, or present it as evidence in any legal, workplace or academic matter — see our Acceptable Use policy. For general information about legal risk, read is it legal to fake a screenshot? If you publish somewhere a viewer might mistake it for real, switch on the “Simulated” label before exporting.
