What a mock-up tells you
Capitalisation
A domain is all lower case, a brand is not. “northbeam” becomes Northbeam on a page title and under an app icon, and “north-beam” becomes North Beam. The previews show which one you are actually naming, and let you overwrite it.
The handle is not the domain
No platform allows a hyphen in a username, so north-beam.com is @northbeam everywhere. Each one also caps the length, X at 15 characters, TikTok at 24, Instagram and YouTube at 30, and the mock-ups cut the handle exactly where the platform would.
Where it gets cut
Google prints about sixty characters of a title, a Gmail inbox row far fewer, an app label barely a dozen. A long name earns its ellipsis in the same places it would in real life.
When there is already a site
A name you are considering is often one somebody is already using, sometimes you. If the domain has a live site, the previews take its own icon, name, description, colours, share image and social accounts instead of placeholders, so you are reading that brand rather than an invented one. The bar above the previews says which domain it read, and puts the placeholders back in one click.
What it does not
Whether the name is free. That is the domain search, which checks every extension and a summary of the biggest handles at once, or the social handle check, which runs the full platform lineup on its own page. The bar above the previews links to both for whatever you typed.
Nothing here is posted, claimed or saved. The pictures are drawn in your browser, from the name alone, or from what the site at that domain already publishes about itself, and they follow each platform's current layout closely without being it: interfaces change, and so does what a given phone shows.
Questions
Is anything posted to these platforms?
No. Every picture is drawn in your browser. Nothing is sent to Google, Meta, X, LinkedIn, TikTok or anyone else, no account is created and no handle is claimed.
Does this check whether the name is available?
No. This page only shows how a name would look. The domain search checks whether it is free across every extension and on the major social platforms. The summary card links straight to that check for the name you are previewing.
What if the domain already has a website?
Then the previews use it. The icon, name, description, colours, share image and social accounts come from the site itself rather than from placeholders, so you are looking at how that brand really reads across the platforms instead of an invented version of it. The bar above the previews names the domain it read and switches back to the derived placeholders in one click. Only what the site publishes about itself is read, and nothing about the visit is stored.
Why does the handle differ from the domain?
No platform allows a hyphen in a username, so north-beam.com becomes @northbeam everywhere. Each platform also caps the length, X at 15 characters, TikTok at 24, Instagram and YouTube at 30, and the mock-ups cut the handle exactly where the platform would.
Can I change the name, tagline, handle, icon or colours?
Yes. The fields above the previews overwrite whatever is underneath, the derived name or the live site's own. You can upload your own icon, and the two colour fields take a hex code or a picker, with Shuffle for a new pair. Every text inside a preview is editable too: click it and type. Editing the name once changes it in all 28 mock-ups.
What happens to the icon I upload?
Nothing leaves your browser. The image is held in this tab's memory for as long as the page is open, is never sent to a server, and is gone the moment you close or reload the tab. The same is true of your colours and any text you rewrite.
How faithful are the mock-ups?
They follow each platform's current layout closely, in light and dark where the platform has both, but they are approximations: interfaces change often and vary by device. Treat them as a realistic impression of the name, not a screenshot of a live account.
Are the ratings, followers and reviews real?
No. Every number and every review is fixed sample content, the same for every name, so the sections read as one brand rather than twenty-eight unrelated screenshots. The App Store, Google Play and Trustpilot pages show what a listing would look like, not what anyone has said.
Do I need an account?
No. The preview works without one, and nothing about it is saved.
