LINE chats that look like the real deal
LINE dominates messaging in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and Indonesia. Over 200 million active users. That green brand color is instantly recognizable across Southeast Asia and East Asia. And if you need a LINE chat screenshot for any reason, building one from scratch is way better than trying to stage a real conversation.
This tool renders LINE’s distinctive chat interface using Canvas, the green sent bubbles, white received bubbles, that blue-green chat background, circular profile avatars, and the “Read” status indicator that LINE users check obsessively. Everything renders in your browser. Nothing touches a server.
How to create your chat
- Set the contact name for the header.
- Add messages, mark each as sent or received.
- Include a timestamp per message and toggle read status on sent messages.
- Upload a profile picture for the contact, or use the default initial avatar.
- Switch between light and dark themes.
- Hit Download PNG for your image.
Dead simple. The default messages show you the format, then you replace them with whatever you need.

FAQ
Does the “Read” status work like real LINE?
Yes. In LINE, sent messages show “Read” once the recipient opens the conversation, there’s no “delivered” intermediate state. This tool replicates that behavior. Toggle read status per message.
Can I change the chat background color?
The tool uses LINE’s default light and dark chat backgrounds. Light mode is the classic blue-green (#DAE8F0), dark mode uses a deep navy-teal. These match LINE’s actual defaults.
What about LINE stickers?
The current version supports text messages with timestamps and read receipts. Sticker placeholders are planned for a future release, LINE’s sticker culture is too important to ignore.
Does it support Japanese text properly?
Absolutely. The canvas uses a font stack that includes Hiragino Sans, which renders Japanese kanji, hiragana, and katakana cleanly. Chinese and Korean characters work too.
What resolution is the output?
390px wide (standard mobile viewport) with dynamic height based on message count. Clean enough for presentations, blog posts, and social media.
