How to Make a WhatsApp Chat Mockup for Designs & Presentations

A realistic chat mockup makes a portfolio piece, a pitch deck or an app demo instantly relatable — people get a conversation. Instead of faking bubbles in a design tool, build the exact exchange, set the brand details, and export a clean, high-resolution image you can drop into Figma, a slide or a website. Here’s how.

Where a chat mockup helps

• UX portfolios — show a messaging flow or feature in context.
• Pitch decks — demo the “before and after” of your product as a conversation.
• App store & landing pages — a believable chat screenshot sells a feature fast.
• Onboarding & tutorials — illustrate a step with a real-looking example.
• Marketing & ads — a “conversation” creative that stops the scroll.

Step by step

1. Open Chat TreeGo to chattreeapp.fun and choose Create your chat.
2. Script the conversationTurn on Edit and write the exchange that demonstrates your idea — keep it tight and let the last message make the point.
3. Set the brand detailsSet the contact name and avatar, insert your product photos, and add reactions or replies where they help the story.
4. Choose the frameTurn the phone frame and status bar on for a device mockup, or off for a clean UI panel. Pick light or dark to match your design.
5. Export a sharp imageExport a high-resolution PNG (no watermark) and place it in your deck, portfolio or page.

Tips for a mockup that looks pro

• Frame off for design tools. A clean chat panel composites into Figma or a slide far better than a full phone.
• Match the theme. Dark mockups sit better on dark decks; keep it consistent with your brand.
• Real content, not lorem. Write copy that actually shows the value — placeholder text reads as unfinished.
• Mind the timestamps. Set believable times so reviewers don’t get distracted by a glitchy-looking timeline.
• Export big. A high-resolution image scales down cleanly; a small one looks soft on a projector.
