Steps
- Open the Quote Image Maker.
- Type or paste your quote. Short is better: aim for 15 to 25 words.
- Add the author or source.
- Choose a size for the platform you will post on.
- Pick a background colour with strong contrast to the text.
- Choose a font style: serif for a classic feel, sans for a modern look, handwriting for a personal feel (English only).
- Download the PNG and upload it.
Design tips that make a quote stand out
- Keep it short. A long paragraph on a picture is hard to read on a phone.
- Use strong contrast. Dark text on a light background, or white on a dark colour. Check pairs with the Color Contrast Checker.
- Leave empty space. Margins make the text feel calmer and easier to read.
- Use one font only. Mixing several styles looks messy.
- Use your brand colours so people recognise your posts in the feed.
- Credit the source. Never present someone else's words as your own.
Using Bangla quotes
Bangla text works well. Choose the serif or sans style, because the handwriting style is designed for English letters. Keep the lines short so that conjunct letters stay readable, and test the preview on a phone-sized screen.
Copyright and permissions
Quotes from old public-domain works are generally free to use. Short quotes from modern authors are often used with credit, but you should not post whole poems or passages that are still under copyright. When in doubt, quote a line, name the author and link to the original source.
Posting tips
- Add a caption that explains why the quote matters to you.
- Use two to five relevant hashtags, not thirty.
- Post at a time when your audience is online.
- Reuse the same style so that your page looks consistent.
