How to make the mockup
- Gmail is already selected on this page. Change the subject line, or replace the starter thread.
- Write the messages in order so they read as a thread, not a chat log.
- Set who sent each email. Keep the subject specific — that is what makes the mockup readable in a deck.
- Export a PNG for the slide, or an MP4 if you want the replies to arrive one at a time.
- Gmail-style subject and thread
- Editable sender and reply
- PNG for slides and docs
- MP4 when the thread should appear step by step
Questions
Does this open my Gmail account?
No. It draws a Gmail-style email. It cannot read or send mail.
Is the email uploaded?
No. The mockup stays in your browser until you download a PNG or MP4.
Can I export more than a screenshot?
Yes. PNG is the still. MP4 reveals the thread message by message, which is useful in a product demo.
What should I not use this for?
Decks, support docs, and product tours are the point. Do not fake an email from a real person or company.
