Creator Production Features

Everything you need to plan, edit, and export believable chat visuals.

  • 9:16 vertical output at 1080x1920 — the native resolution Instagram Reels expects
  • Instagram DM layout for native Reels content, iMessage for cross-platform appeal, WhatsApp for international audiences
  • Per-message timing so the payoff arrives in the final two seconds, not the middle
  • Clean video export — drop it into Instagram without format conversion or re-encoding
  • Read receipts and typing dots as pacing tools, not decoration
  • Dark theme default — 70% of Reels consumption happens after 8pm when dark UIs dominate

Export for Any Channel

Generate screenshots, videos, and animations for short-form, long-form, and presentation workflows.

Multi-Platform Styling

Match UI patterns for the channels your audience already recognizes.

Production Use Cases

Real scenarios where this workflow saves production time and rework.

Story Reels

Create text conversation reveals for relationship drama, funny exchanges, and storytime content.

Brand Reels

Show customer testimonial chats and DM interactions as engaging Reel content.

Comedy Skits

Build fake text exchanges for comedy sketches and reaction content.

Engagement Bait

Create "wait for it" style chat reveals that boost watch time and shares.

Chat Reels that earn saves and shares

Reels reward watch time. Structure your chat so the payoff arrives at the end — tease the topic in the first bubble, build tension in the middle, and deliver the punchline or reveal in the last two messages.

Dark mode performs well on Reels because most users scroll at night. Test both themes but default to dark when the content is dramatic or comedic.

Add your sound in Instagram, not in TheFake. Trending audio changes weekly, and keeping the render clean lets you swap sounds without re-exporting.

Reels checklist

  • Hook lands in the first 2 seconds.
  • Total length stays under 30 seconds.
  • Text is readable without fullscreen zoom.
  • Clean export — add audio in Instagram for trending sounds.

Production FAQ

Short answers about setup, exports, and practical usage.

Is the export format actually right for Reels, or do I need to crop?

Exports are 9:16 at 1080x1920 — the exact resolution Instagram Reels expects. No cropping, no resizing, no format conversion. Upload directly.

Should I add music inside TheFake or in Instagram?

Add sounds in Instagram after uploading. Trending audio changes weekly, and baking it into the video means re-exporting every time you want to test a different track. Keep the render clean.

How long should a Reel chat video be?

Keep it under 30 seconds for best performance. Front-load the hook in the first 2 seconds.
