Fake Slack Generator

A fake Slack generator makes a picture or a video of a Slack conversation that never happened. FakeDetail's generator builds it from what you type — the workspace, the people, who said what, the replies in a thread and the reactions — in the layout of the Slack app. It runs in your browser: no Slack account or workspace is needed or used, nothing is posted to Slack, and no real conversation is read.

It is not connected with Slack. Slack is a trademark of Slack Technologies, LLC, a Salesforce company.

• Slack Chat. A direct message with one person: their name, picture, title and status emoji, the green dot when they are active, and your messages and theirs under each sender's name.

• Slack Group Chat. A channel, public or private with its lock, and its member count — or a group DM named after its people. Slack's direct messages can include up to nine people, and a group DM can be given a name.

• Slack Chat List. The Home screen with your workspace, the Catch up, Threads and Later shortcuts, a huddle to join and your sections of channels, DMs and apps — or the DMs screen with each conversation's last message and time. Unread conversations are bold, muted ones dimmed, with red badges.

• One saved screen. Switch between the three at the top of the Preview at any time: each keeps what you set, and a saved screen opens again in the mode you saved it in.

• 1. Choose the screen. Pick Chat, Group Chat or Chat List above the Preview, and an iPhone, an Android phone or the desktop app.

• 2. Set up the people. In the Contact or Channel tab, type the names, add pictures — or leave them out to show initials on a colour — and set each person's availability. Name your workspace and yourself there too.

• 3. Write the messages. In the Messages tab, choose who sends each one and type it. Slack's formatting works: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~, `code`, @mentions and #channels. Messages a person sends close together are grouped under one name, as Slack does.

• 4. Add files, threads and reactions. Send a photo, a file, a canvas, a link, a code block or a voice clip, or add a date divider. Put replies in a thread under a message, add the reactions people gave it and mark yours, or mark a message Edited or Pinned.

• 5. Download or record. Download the Preview as an HD image, or record a video in which the messages arrive one by one and yours are typed into the message field first.

Slack does not use chat bubbles: every message sits on the left under its sender's square picture and bold name, yours too. The generator follows the current Slack app, version 26.11 on phones and 4.53 on the desktop: Slack's Lato type and its own icons, the channel's name in a rounded box with its member count, reaction pills with the one you chose outlined in blue, "N replies" with the repliers' pictures under a message that has a thread, and the message field with Slack's green send button. A channel's name is written in lower case with hyphens, as Slack shows it.

Open a thread to show it as Slack does — the whole screen on a phone, a pane beside the conversation on the desktop. The desktop app has its workspace rail with Home, DMs, Activity and Files, the sidebar of your conversations with the open one marked, and the formatting bar over the message field. Light and dark mode are both there.

Product demos and onboarding guides that show a workflow in Slack, presentation slides and pitch decks, app and website designs, social media and video content, storyboards and sketches, teaching how teams communicate — and lessons on spotting fake screenshots. A screenshot alone proves nothing: look for the source, as with any picture of a chat.

Make the same conversation in another work app: the Fake Teams Chat Generator and Teams Group Chat, the Fake Google Chat Generator, the Fake LinkedIn Chat Generator and the Fake Skype Chat Generator.
