Everything else, answered.

Are the mockups in HD?
Yes. On Semblr, choose your mockup resolution and export up to 4K.
Can I use Semblr mockups commercially?
Yes — for ads, landing pages, decks, video thumbnails, courses, and editorial use. The one rule: don't impersonate a real person or brand to mislead anyone. We have a clear acceptable-use policy.
Does Semblr work on mobile?
Yes. The editor is a full responsive web app — generate Instagram DMs from your phone, tablet, or desktop. No app to install.
Can I customize avatars, badges, and timestamps?
Every detail is editable: profile picture, username, display name, verified badge, story ring, message timestamps and voice notes.
Do you support voice notes and audio waveforms?
Yes — set a duration, generate a realistic waveform, and Semblr renders the exact bubble shape used for audio messages.
How is this different from a Photoshop template?
Photoshop templates are static — every change means re-doing the alignment, the shadows, and the type metrics. Semblr is a live editor: type, toggle, and download. The output matches actual platform rendering, not a designer's approximation of it.
Do the mockups have a watermark?
For the free version yes, but you can remove it with the premium version for $19/year.
Is this legal?
Generating mockups for legitimate use — design, marketing, fiction, education — is legal. Using a fake DM to defraud, defame, or impersonate a real person is not, regardless of the tool. Semblr is a creative tool, check our terms for the full policy.
