CodeKitHubWhat Is This Tool?
Snapchat Story Simulator recreates the real Snapchat story interface — segmented progress bars at the top, a username and timestamp header, and a bold text overlay on a full-bleed background — so you can export it as a shareable mockup image.
It must never be used to fabricate fraudulent evidence, harass or defame someone, or impersonate a real person's actual story — doing so may be illegal depending on your jurisdiction.
Everything is generated locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API; nothing is ever uploaded to a server.
Why Use It?

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal or ethical to use this tool?
The tool itself is legal to use for entertainment, mockups, presentations and design work. What is not legal or ethical is using the generated image to deceive someone. Please only use this for clearly fictional or illustrative purposes.
Does the tool upload my content anywhere?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser's memory and is drawn directly onto a canvas element with JavaScript. The PNG is generated and downloaded on your device — nothing is ever sent to a server.
How many story segments can I show?
You can set the segment count from 1 up to 8. The first segment is shown as fully watched to mirror the real Snapchat story progress-bar style.
What image size does it export?
The exported PNG uses a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio that matches the real Snapchat story layout, so it looks natural when shared or embedded in a presentation.
