A notification banner is the fastest hook in short-form video. It lands on screen, the viewer reads six words, and you've bought yourself another five seconds of attention — which is why the fake push notification is now standard equipment in Shorts, Reels, and TikToks. This free iOS notification generator builds them two ways. In lock-screen mode you get the whole 9:16 phone screen: your own wallpaper, the big clock and date, an editable status bar with signal, Wi-Fi, and a battery you can drop to red, and a stack of notifications sitting at the bottom exactly where iOS puts them. In banner mode you get just the alerts, on a transparent background, ready to drop over your footage in CapCut or Premiere. Every notification carries its own app name, icon, title, body, and time — upload a real app icon or pick a colour and let the generator draw one.
Everything you need
Built for creators who want fast, high-quality results.
Lock screen and banner modes
Render a complete 9:16 iPhone lock screen, or just the notification cards on a transparent background for overlaying on video.
Stack unlimited notifications
Add as many alerts as you need. Each one keeps its own app name, icon, sender, message, and timestamp.
Custom app icons
Upload a real app icon or pick any colour and the generator draws a rounded-square icon with the app's initial.
Your own wallpaper
Upload any image as the lock-screen wallpaper, or use the built-in gradient. The notification cards stay translucent over it, like real iOS.
Editable status bar and clock
Set the status-bar time, signal, Wi-Fi, and battery — including red low battery — plus the big lock-screen clock and date line.
Transparent PNG export
Banner mode exports with no backdrop at 3x resolution, so the alert drops straight onto footage in any editor.
How it works
Four steps. Under a minute.
Write the notifications
Add each alert with an app name, sender, message, and time. Upload an app icon or pick a colour.

Choose the full lock screen or banner-only mode, and set dark or light theme.
Dress the screen

Download the PNG

Perfect for
Video hooks
Open on a notification landing, hold for a beat, then cut to the story. One of the highest-retention openers in short-form.
Storytime and skit setups
Show the text that started it all without staging anything on a real phone or exposing a real contact.
App marketing and mockups
Show your own app's push notification on a realistic lock screen for a landing page, App Store shot, or pitch deck.
Memes and posts
A lock screen full of the wrong notifications is a joke format on its own.
