Two ways to make a fake lock screen
The generator has two modes, and both export the same clean 1080×1920 PNG.
1. Build one from scratch
- Pick a wallpaper — choose a preset or upload your own background.
- Write the notifications — set the sender, the message and the mystery app card, then tweak the clock, the date and the status bar.
- Download — export the PNG, ready to post.
2. iOS 26 mode — use your own screenshot
Screenshot your real lock screen, upload it, and drop iOS 26 “Liquid Glass” notification cards on top. Drag each card where you want it — they snap to the centre and to each other, so the stack lines up like the real thing. Your screenshot keeps its own clock, wallpaper and status bar, so the result looks exactly like your phone.

FAQ
Is the fake iPhone lock screen generator free?
Yes. Building and downloading the lock screen image is completely free, with no watermark and no account required. Only the AI slides in the full studio cost credits.
Can I use my own lock screen screenshot?
Yes — that's the iOS 26 mode. Upload a screenshot of your real lock screen and drop notification cards on top, dragging each one where you want it. The cards snap to each other so the stack stays neat.
What size is the exported image?
The lock screen exports as a 1080×1920 PNG (9:16) — the exact size TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories use, so it fills the screen with no cropping.
Does it add a watermark?
No. The exported PNG is clean, with no watermark and no branding of any kind.
Can I fake a WhatsApp or iMessage notification on the lock screen?
Yes. Each card can be a WhatsApp message, an iMessage, a Mail notification or a custom app with your own icon — with the sender, message and timestamp you type.
Will my post get flagged as AI?
The lock screen is rendered in your browser from real fonts and layout — there's no AI image and no AI provenance metadata, so platforms don't auto-label it. Keep mockups clearly fictional and don't impersonate real people or brands.
