iOS Lock Screen Generator
The iOS Lock Screen Generator recreates the whole iPhone lock screen the way iOS has drawn it since iOS 16: the padlock, the date line sitting above an oversized clock, a row of monochrome accessory widgets, and a bottom-anchored stack of translucent notification cards. Choose your wallpaper, dial the clock size, weight and stretch the way iOS 26 lets you, then add up to six notifications with app icons, titles, bodies and relative timestamps. Switch between the Stack, List and Count display styles, flip the cards between frosted white and dark Liquid Glass, and export a crisp high-resolution PNG. Everything renders in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

iOS Lock Screen Generator features
Faithful iOS 16-26 layout
Date above the clock, 54pt status bar with the Dynamic Island, 44pt flashlight and camera controls and the home indicator, all built to Apple's published type scale and safe areas.
Stack, List and Count styles
Switch between the three real notification display settings: a layered stack with only the top card legible, a full list, or a single count pill that reads 3 Notifications.
Monochrome accessory widgets
Add up to four widget slots at Apple's confirmed 72x72pt circular and 160x72pt rectangular canvases, with weather, calendar, alarm, battery and activity-ring glyphs plus an inline widget that replaces the date.
Wallpaper, depth effect and Now Playing
Upload and crop a wallpaper or pick a solid or gradient background, layer a cut-out PNG in front of the clock for the iOS depth effect, or swap the stack for a Now Playing card with artwork and a scrubber.
High-resolution PNG export
The full screen is captured client-side at a high pixel ratio and downloaded as a sharp 1080x1920 PNG, or as the true 19.5:9 iPhone frame if you prefer the exact device proportions.

Frequently asked questions
Is the iOS Lock Screen Generator free?
Yes. It is completely free with no login, no account and no export limits. A Pro option removes the watermark and doubles the export resolution.
Is it safe and legal to make a fake iPhone lock screen?
Clearly fictional mockups are fine for design comps, app store shots, education, marketing and memes. Never use one to impersonate a real person, fabricate evidence or deceive anyone, and respect Apple's trademarks.
Why do my notification cards look dark instead of white?
iOS 26 flipped lock screen notifications to dark Liquid Glass with white text. The generator defaults to that look, but you can switch the card material back to the frosted white style used from iOS 16 to iOS 18.
Can I upload my own wallpaper and app icons?
Yes. The wallpaper, the depth cut-out, each notification's app icon and the Now Playing artwork all use the built-in crop dialog. Images stay in your browser and are never sent to a server.
Why is the date above the clock?
That is where iOS has put it since iOS 16. Before that the date sat below the time, so a mockup with the date underneath instantly reads as an older version of iOS.
What size is the exported image?
The default export is a 1080 x 1920 story-sized PNG. Switching the frame to the true iPhone screen exports the real 19.5:9 proportions at 1080 pixels wide or more.
