the part everyone gets wrong

Setting text is not the same as drawing text

Putting words on a coloured square looks like the easiest thing a graphics tool could do, and most quote card makers prove otherwise the moment you paste something they did not expect. A long passage overflows the bottom edge or gets silently cropped. A word too big for the line is chopped in half. Text in Chinese, Japanese or Korean comes out as one enormous unbroken line, because the wrapping was written around spaces and those languages do not use them.

This one sizes the type to the text rather than the other way round, searching for the largest size that still fits the canvas. Line breaking splits Latin text at word boundaries and CJK text between characters, and it follows the kinsoku rules those languages expect: a line never starts with a full stop or a comma, and never ends with an opening bracket.

How to make a quote card

01

Type or paste the quote

The card redraws as you type. Add an attribution if you want one — it is set smaller, in the accent colour, under the last line.

02

Pick a canvas and colours

Square for a feed, portrait for more room, story for a full phone screen, or the wide size that link previews crop to.

03

Download

You get a PNG at full export resolution, not a screenshot of the preview.

Quote card FAQ

Why can I not choose the font size?

Because the useful thing is not a number, it is that the text fits. The tool searches for the largest size at which the whole quote still lands inside the canvas, so a short line comes out large and a paragraph comes out smaller, and neither one overflows. Picking a size by hand means checking the result and adjusting until it fits, which is the work this removes.

Does it handle Chinese, Japanese and Korean?

Yes, and that took most of the work. Wrapping written around spaces treats a Chinese sentence as a single unbreakable word, which is why so many card makers turn one into a line that runs off the edge. Here the text is split into units first — a Latin word is one unit, a CJK character is one unit — and lines are filled from those. Punctuation rules are applied on top, so no line begins with a full stop, comma or closing bracket.

Why does an English word never get split in half?

Because splitting it would need hyphenation rules, and guessing at those produces worse results than moving the whole word down a line. The only case where anything is cut mid-word is a single word too long for the entire line, where there is no alternative.

Which size should I use?

Square is the safe default for a feed. Portrait gives you more vertical room, which matters for longer quotes since the type can then be set larger. Story fills a phone screen. The wide one matches the shape that link previews crop to, so use it when the card will be the preview image for a page.

Can I use my own colours or a photo background?

Not yet — there are four colour sets, each with a matching accent for the attribution and the quotation mark. Photo backgrounds are a different tool: put the text on the image with the text watermark tool if that is what you need.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The card is drawn on a canvas in your browser and exported from there. Your text never reaches a server, which matters more here than for most tools — people paste things into quote cards long before they are ready to publish them.
