Fake Instagram Comment Generator
Build an Instagram-style comment section — names, avatars, likes, replies, pinned comments and the “❤️ by author” label — and export it as a clean screenshot.
Comments are social proof, and they're also content: creators screenshot funny comments to reply to, brands collect reactions for case studies, and educators show how online pile-ons start. This generator recreates the Instagram comment sheet with the emoji quick-reaction bar, nested replies and per-comment likes so you can stage exactly the thread you need with fictional usernames.

Tips for a more convincing Instagram Comments mockup
- Real comment sections have a mix of lengths — a few emoji-only comments make it believable.
- Pin the comment you want viewers to see first.
- Use “❤️ by author” sparingly; it's a reward, not a default.
- Keep usernames fictional and plausible: lowercase, dots and underscores.
- Dark mode looks great when overlaid on Reels footage.
