What this builds
A TikTok comment section, drawn pixel by pixel on a canvas. Dark background by default, because that’s what most people screenshot. Gray usernames, white comment text, a red heart with the like count stacked underneath on the far right. The look TikTok has used for years.
It isn’t a single comment either. You edit a whole stack of them, each with its own avatar, badges, and numbers, and the image grows to fit however many you add.
Building the thread
Start with the three sample comments and rework them, or clear them out and begin fresh. For each one you set:
- the username and a short time label like
1dor22h - the comment text, which wraps automatically when it runs long
- a like count such as
12.4Kthat sits under the right-side heart - an avatar, uploaded or left as the auto-colored initial disc
Then come the toggles that make TikTok look like TikTok. Flip Author to pin the creator’s badge next to their name. Flip Pinned to add the pin glyph and “Pinned” label. Flip Liked to fill the heart red. And Creator liked drops a small red heart with “Creator liked” under the comment, the badge everyone screenshots when the OP hearts their reply.
Verified accounts get a blue check too. Toggle it per comment.
The details that matter
TikTok’s engagement lives in specifics. A pinned comment from the Author usually has the biggest number by far, since it rode along with the video. Replies from regular accounts sit lower, a few hundred likes at most. Getting that ratio right is what separates a convincing screenshot from an obvious fake.
The heart color is doing real work here. An unliked comment shows a thin gray outline; the moment you tap Liked it fills in #FE2C55, TikTok’s signature red, and the count below it turns red to match. That single detail is what your eye checks first.
Time labels should stay short and lowercase. TikTok writes 3d, not “3 days ago.” Little thing, but wrong labels read as fake instantly.
Why people make these
Creators building “replying to your comments” intros need a clean comment to react to. Pulling one live means catching whatever else is on screen, so a mockup is faster and tidier.
Agencies use them in pitch decks to show a brand what healthy engagement looks like before a single video ships. Educators build them for lessons on misinformation, since a fabricated comment is the perfect teaching prop. And storytellers stage fictional threads for skits and parody clips.
The PNG exports at triple resolution, sharp enough to sit as an overlay in a 4K edit without going fuzzy.
Common questions
Is the Author badge the same as verified?
No, they’re separate. The Author badge marks the account that posted the video. The blue check marks a verified account. A comment can have both, one, or neither, and each has its own toggle.
Can I make it light mode?
Yep. Dark is the default since that’s how TikTok ships on most phones, but there’s a toggle for the white theme if your slide or doc needs it.
Do the like counts format themselves?
They don’t auto-convert, and that’s on purpose. Type exactly what you want, 847 or 12.4K or 2,081, so you control how each number reads.
Does anything upload to TikTok?
Nothing. There’s no connection to TikTok at all. The comment sheet is drawn locally and saved straight to your device as a PNG.
How do I show the creator hearting a comment?
Turn on “Creator liked” for that comment. It adds the little red heart and the “Creator liked” line right under the text, exactly where TikTok puts it.
