Fake Notification Generator

What is a Fake Notification Generator?
It creates an image of an iPhone lock screen showing a notification that never actually fired: pick a wallpaper (or upload your own), set the clock and date, choose an app icon (emoji preset or an uploaded image), and write the title, message, and timestamp. The live preview updates as you type, and the download button renders the whole lock screen as a sharp 2x PNG with rounded phone corners. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.
How to Make a Notification Mockup
- Pick a wallpaper preset or upload your own, and choose a light or dark notification card.
- Choose an app icon — an emoji preset or an uploaded image.
- Write the title, message, timestamp, clock, and date line — the preview updates live.
- Click Download PNG to save the full lock screen at 2x resolution.
100% Free — No sign-up, no email, no watermark. The image is generated entirely in your browser — text and uploaded files are never sent to a server.
Where notification mockups get used
App store screenshots that show a push notification in context, onboarding and landing pages that demonstrate what an alert will look like, ad creatives where a notification is the hook, UX case studies, and social content. Building these by triggering real notifications and cropping screenshots takes minutes per variation; a generator makes each one in seconds and keeps the text editable.

Frequently asked questions
- What is this for?
- Mockups. App builders use it for store screenshots and landing pages, designers for push-notification previews, marketers for ad creatives, and plenty of people for harmless memes. You get a clean PNG of a notification that never had to be triggered on a real device.
- Does the image look like a real phone screenshot?
- It renders the full lock screen, not just a floating card: wallpaper, the big clock and date, status-bar glyphs, the notification, and the corner shortcut buttons. The iPhone style uses the translucent Liquid Glass look (iOS 26) where the wallpaper shows through the card; the Android style uses a Material solid-surface card with the app-name header row. That surrounding context is what makes a mockup read as real — a card on a white page never does.
- Can I use my own app icon or wallpaper?
- Yes — upload any image for the icon and any photo for the wallpaper, or pick from the presets. Uploads are read directly by your browser and drawn onto the image locally; they are never sent to a server.
- Are the preset icons the official ones?
- No — the app presets (Messages, WhatsApp, KakaoTalk, Instagram, and so on) are simplified look-alikes we drew ourselves; the trademarks belong to their respective owners. If you need the exact official icon, upload it yourself. Wallpaper presets include well-known default-style wallpapers alongside our own gradients, and you can always upload your own photo.
- Is anything I type or upload sent to a server?
- No. The preview and the PNG are generated locally in your browser; text and uploaded images never leave your device and there is nothing to delete afterwards.
- Is it okay to use these images anywhere?
- Use them for mockups, previews, content, and jokes. Don't use a fabricated notification to deceive someone — for example, faking a payment confirmation or a message from a real person to mislead them. The tool draws a picture; what it's used for is on the user.
- Is it free?
- Yes — free, no sign-up, no watermark, and the PNG downloads instantly.
