Some say pictures speak a thousand words. So then, how many words would a video speak? We think it’s thousands, which is why TikTok, as a video-heavy social media platform, has gained such immense popularity.

However, similar to Instagram, TikTok doesn’t let you visualize your profile unless you make it live and private so that no one can see what you’re doing at the moment. Hence, this makes visualizing your profile useful, especially if you’d like to use it for your marketing. Here’s how you can plan and visualize your TikTok profile before posting with a fake TikTok profile.

Why should you create a fake TikTok profile?

For one main reason – to visualize what your TikTok profile and posts would look like! Creating a fake profile will allow you to:

Save time and effort

Filming a video, even if you’re doing a challenge like the ‘Old Town Road’ Challenge that’s already been planned out, takes some time and effort. By using mockup TikTok generators, you can simply use still images to represent your video ideas, drag and drop them and see what your profile would look like. No more creating fake accounts or toggling privacy while you’re in trial and error mode!

Better alignment with your marketing strategy

Does your brand have a specific look and feel, color or theme? Do you have any key spokespeople that represent your brand publicly? Or perhaps you’re working with some influencers. Creating a fake TikTok profile will allow you to see how it fits into your marketing strategy, branding and goals. What’s more, you can easily edit it anytime you want.

Enhance marketing presentations, ideas and pitches

Have an upcoming marketing presentation? Or perhaps you need to pitch for a potential project as a marketer, designer or freelancer. Creating a fake TikTok profile to show what a live profile could look like will certainly enable you to pitch your ideas better and enhance your presentations.

3 simple steps to create a fake TikTok profile

Creating a fake TikTok profile can be done easily here at MediaModifier! All you have to do are 3 simple steps:

1. Prepare your account name, details and description

Prepare the details you need to fill in the basic aspects of your TikTok profile:

  • Account name
  • Website
  • Brand/profile description
  • Profile picture or logo

2. Gather still images for your intended video posts

Have a brainstorm on what kind of videos, or challenges, that you would be posting on TikTok. With your branding, colour scheme and marketing goals in mind, prepare 3 or 6 images to represent the videos you’d like to show on your profile.

Tip: In addition to brand/stock images, why not create your own images using ready-made templates in our Design Maker?

3. Choose the TikTok mockup template you’d like to use and start creating it

Looking for a simple TikTok profile mockup template for desktop or mobile? Or perhaps you want one with the view count enabled. Simply pick a TikTok mockup template from our collection and start creating!

In MediaModifier’s mockup generator, our TikTok Mobile Profile Mockup (with View Count) allows you to add and edit your fake profile using our drag-and-drop function and sidebar menu.

  • Insert your text (username, description, etc.) using the sidebar menu.
  • For all picture sections (profile image, video posts), drag and drop your picture directly into the section you want.
  • If you’d like to have only one row of video posts instead of two rows, you can take away the second row of video posts by turning off the following in the sidebar menu:
    • View Count 4, 5 and 6
    • Video 4, 5 and 6

Frequently Asked Questions on fake TikTok profiles

How can I tell if a TikTok profile is fake?

Fake TikTok profiles often have certain red flags, such as a lack of authentic content, very few followers, suspiciously generic or stolen profile photos, and overly aggressive attempts to contact you. If a profile is trying to rush you into clicking links, sharing personal details, or sending money, it’s almost certainly fraudulent. Verified accounts usually display a blue checkmark, but remember that scammers can still imitate popular creators by copying their usernames and content.

What should I do if I receive a message from a fake account?

If you suspect a message comes from a fake account, do not engage or click on any links. Instead, block the user immediately and report the profile to TikTok using the in-app reporting tools. This helps protect not just you, but the wider TikTok community from similar scams.

Can fake profiles steal my personal information?

Yes, scammers often use fake profiles to gather personal details like email addresses, phone numbers, or even financial information under the pretense of giveaways, brand collaborations, or other schemes. Never share sensitive information with any account unless you are absolutely sure of its legitimacy.

Are there any tools to help verify a TikTok account’s authenticity?

Besides checking for the official verification badge, you can look at the account’s engagement patterns—real accounts typically have consistent video uploads, authentic comments, and realistic follower numbers. You can also search for the creator’s official presence on other social media platforms to cross-check their profile details.

How can I protect myself from TikTok scams in the future?

Stay vigilant and skeptical of unsolicited messages, especially those offering deals that seem too good to be true. Enable privacy settings to limit who can contact you, and regularly review your followers to spot any suspicious accounts. Familiarizing yourself with TikTok’s reporting and blocking features is also key to maintaining a secure experience.
