Questions

How close is it to a real screenshot?+

The colors, spacing, status bar, and receipts follow the iOS 18 spec, so it reads as genuine at a glance.

Can I add a read receipt and typing dots?+

Yes. Toggle the Read receipt and the typing indicator in the editor.

What resolution is the download?+

Up to 3x the device resolution, the same as a real screenshot, in PNG or JPG.

Is this for faking evidence?+

No. It is a mockup tool for fun, fiction, and design. Do not use it to deceive anyone.
