How to make a Tinder mockup

1. 1

   Start from an example

   The three above are the ones worth building: an opener that reads the profile, a first date arranged somewhere public, and the opening moves of a romance scam with its four tells named in the reply.

2. 2

   Use an invented person

   A made-up name and a library photo. This is not a formality — the whole difference between a teaching aid and a weapon here is whether the person on the other side exists.

3. 3

   Set the match header

   The name drives the “You matched with X” line, and the photo comes from the Contact section. That header is what makes it read as Tinder rather than as a chat.

4. 4

   Write the conversation

   Each message is a turn. Openers that reference something specific read as real; “hey” reads as filler, which is its own kind of accurate but rarely what you want in a mockup.

5. 5

   Export, and consider the label

   PNG at 1× free, up to 3× on Pro. The optional Simulated label is in the Export section and is worth switching on for anything that will circulate.

How the Tinder interface is put together

Our Tinder 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.

What people use Tinder mockups for

• Dating-safety guidance and campaigns

Questions about Tinder mockups

Can I use this to make a screenshot of a real person?

No. Putting invented words in a named real person's mouth is impersonation, our terms prohibit it, and a fabricated dating-app screenshot is among the most damaging things this site can produce — it is the format most often aimed at one specific individual. Every example here uses invented people, and so should yours.

Why are the examples all so wholesome?

Because the useful ones are. A good opener, a first date arranged somewhere public, and a romance scam with its tells named all teach something. Reproducing harassment verbatim would mostly produce a template for sending it, which is not a thing worth building.

Is the romance-scam example accurate?

It follows the documented pattern: move off the app fast, a job that explains why they can never video call, intensity long before any real conversation, and money raised inside the first hour. The reply names all four, which is the point of the example. Real fraud-prevention material teaches exactly these markers.

How do I set the match line?

It derives from the contact's name — “You matched with X”, in Tinder's own phrasing. Set the name in the Contact section and the header follows.

How is this different from the Bumble and Hinge generators?

They share the match-header structure and nothing else. Tinder is a flame gradient at 22px; Bumble is amber with black text and a 24-hour expiry chip; Hinge is ink-and-cream at 12px and opens from a liked prompt rather than a swipe. Each is its own skin.

Can I export a long conversation?

Yes. The download dialog offers the whole thread at its true height, exactly one screen, or fit-to-content, so nothing is cropped at the fold.

Is there a watermark?

No, but consider using one here. There is an optional Simulated label in the Export section, and of everything on this site a dating screenshot is the one most likely to be believed and passed on. If it is going anywhere an audience has not been told it is a mockup, mark it.

What if someone uses this to harass a person?

That breaches our terms and we act on reports. Depending on the facts and jurisdiction, fabricated messages used to harass, defame or coerce someone may also create civil or criminal liability. The tool used to draw them does not decide the legal outcome.
