Instagram Comment Generatoras a transparent PNG.
Build an Instagram or TikTok comment, then export it as a transparent PNG sticker you can drop straight onto a Reel, a Short or a TikTok. Up to five stacked comments, twelve sticker languages, 3x export. Nothing is uploaded.
Comments
Read in your browser and cropped to a circle. It is never uploaded.
Only the characters the platform allows in a handle.
Short and free-form, like the app shows it.
@mentions and #hashtags are styled the way the app styles them.
Type a number or paste 12.3k. Formatted for the sticker language.
The language inside the image. Independent of the language you are reading this page in.
Everything runs in this tab. No Instagram or TikTok account is read, nothing is uploaded, and your avatar never leaves the browser.
What does the Instagram comment generator do?
It draws a comment row the way the app draws it, and hands you the result as a PNG with nothing behind it. That last part is the whole tool. A comment sticker with a white rectangle around it is unusable over footage, so transparency is not an option here, it is the default.
It is a design tool for an edit, not a screenshot faker. What you get is an asset for a timeline: the same thing you would get from a designer asked to mock up a comment for a video, produced in twenty seconds instead of twenty minutes.
Two real layouts, not one recoloured
Instagram runs the handle and the comment on the same line and puts the heart inline. TikTok stacks the handle above the text and puts the heart and its count vertically on the right. Both geometries are held separately, so the sticker matches whichever app you are pretending to be inside.
Stack up to five comments
Export the stack as one PNG, or as one PNG per comment. The second option is the one editors actually need: it lets the comments appear one at a time on the timeline instead of arriving as a single block.
Twelve sticker languages
The words inside the image, Reply, the plural of like, the timestamp, are translated, and the plural rules are the real ones, so Polish and Russian get three forms rather than an s. Arabic flips the whole layout, avatar included.
Export at 3x
A sticker sized for a 1080 timeline and dropped on a 4K one gets upscaled and goes soft. The 3x export gives the editor room to scale up without that happening.
How do you add a comment sticker to a Reel?
Export at 3x with the transparent background on, then import the PNG into your editor as an image layer. Because there is no background, it composites straight over the footage with no keying and no blend mode.
Place it where the eye already is, usually the lower third, and give it a beat of its own: comment stickers work when they land on a cut, not when they fade in over a talking head. If the shot behind it is bright or busy, turn the drop shadow on. It is there to separate the sticker from the video, which a flat comment row cannot do on its own.
For an instagram comment template you will reuse, save the draft: the tool keeps your last setup in this browser, so the next sticker starts from the same handle, theme and language rather than from scratch.
Why does the PNG need a transparent background?
Because a video is already there. Any pixel the sticker paints that is not the comment itself is a pixel covering your footage, and a white card floating over a dark shot is the single clearest sign that an overlay was made in the wrong tool.
This matters more than it sounds because it constrains the export format. JPEG has no alpha channel at all, so a comment png transparent export can never be a JPEG: the transparency would come out as solid black. This tool only writes PNG, and it never fills the canvas before drawing, which is what makes the file genuinely empty around the glyphs.
If you do want a card, turn the transparent background off and pick a theme. That is a deliberate choice rather than an accident of the renderer.
Instagram or TikTok, which comment layout should you use?
Use the one that matches the app in the footage. A viewer who spends hours a day in both will not be able to say why a sticker looks wrong, but they will feel it, and the layouts differ in more than colour.
Small avatar on the left, handle in semibold with the comment flowing on immediately after it on the same line, then a quiet row underneath with the timestamp, the like count and Reply. The heart sits on the right of the first line. Mentions and hashtags are blue.
TikTok
Larger avatar, handle above the comment in grey rather than beside it, comment text a size bigger, then timestamp and Reply. The heart is on the right with its count stacked underneath. Mentions are not blue here, they are the same ink in semibold, which is the detail most tools get wrong.
Use it honestly
This is a mock-up tool. The output is convincing on purpose, which is exactly why it is worth being clear about where the line is.
What it is for
- Mocking up a video edit before you have real comments to screenshot.
- Illustrating a real exchange you were part of, without exposing the other person’s handle and photo.
- Storyboarding a campaign for a client who needs to see the idea, not the data.
- Teaching, tutorials and UI examples where a real screenshot would date instantly.
What it is not for
- Putting words in a real person’s mouth, whether or not they are named.
- Manufacturing testimonials or social proof for a product or a service.
- Anything you would not be comfortable captioning as a mock-up.

Comment sticker vs real conversation
A sticker illustrates. It shows a viewer what the reaction to something looks like, which is a storytelling job, and it is finished the moment the video is exported.
A real comment does something else entirely: it is a person who turned up, and the only question that follows is whether they can get to what you were talking about. That is a link problem, not a design one. The comment you mocked up cannot be clicked; the link in your bio can.
Comment generator questions
Still have questions?
OnlineReal humans, usually replying in a few minutes.
Yes. The canvas is never filled before the sticker is drawn, and the export is always PNG, which is the only one of the common formats with an alpha channel. Drop it on a video and only the comment shows. If you would rather have a card, turn the transparent background off.

The sticker illustrates the reaction. The link is what converts it.
Track what happens after the tap, change a destination after the video is published, and send people to the app instead of an in-app browser.
