20+ EASY Ways to Make Picture Quotes Online!

Want to make picture quotes online, but not sure where to begin?

Picture quotes are wildly popular on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter – everywhere! People love to engage with quote images that speak to them.

I’ve researched sthe best sites to make your own quote graphics online.

Most are FREE, or at least offer a free version or trial. Try a couple out!

UPDATED April 2019: Since I first published this list in January 2013, a lot has changed. Some sites have gone offline, so I’ve eliminated them. Some hot sites have emerged, like Canva and PicMonkey. And more options have been added by readers.

Check out the expanded list, and choose what YOU need!

Note: I’m an affiliate for some tools I’ve tried and loved. This means I may make a referral fee if you upgrade to a paid version, at no cost to you.

Stencil: Free online quote maker

This is my favorite tool when you don’t know what to say – because you can search quotes by topic, right inside!

Search for time in the Stencil quote library.

Find your quote, pick a template and a background, change out fonts to suit your branding, add your logo – and you’re done!

You can learn more about using Stencil to make quote images that build your business here. Plus, I’ve included a sample below.

Or jump in and try it out! Their always-free program includes:

  • Save up to 10 images /month
  • Free photos to choose from
  • Free icons to use
  • Upload up to 50 images
  • Create up to 10 collections
  • Keep up to 10 favorites
  • 10 Instagram SMS /month

The Pro version offers so much more, for only $15 per month – or save 40% by paying for a year in advance!

  • Save up to 50 images /month
  • 2,200,000+ Photos to choose from
  • 2,000,000+ Icons & Graphics to use
  • 780+ Amazing templates

PicMonkey: Make quotes with your own pictures!

If you’ve got your own photos and want to add quotes to your pictures online, PicMonkey’s the one for you.

It’s a photo-editing quote maker! So you can tweak your photos before you add text.

Its editing capabilities are powerful and easy-to-use, so you’ll never need another photo editor. And it’s sooo much easier than using Photoshop.

And it comes with so many fun templates and holiday themes! You can create an amazing professional design in a few minutes – without the design degree! I’ve shared just one cool graphic below.

PicMonkey features:

  • Start with a blank canvas, a photo, or a customizable template.
  • Edit photos like a boss: Powerful enhancements create big-impact effects.
  • Pics are auto-saved as editable files stashed in your Hub (cloud storage).
  • Fully loaded with graphics, fonts, templates, and more.
  • Or add your own fonts, logos, images — and match your brand colors.

Edit and design anywhere! With your PicMonkey subscription, you get all of PicMonkey.com plus the free mobile app.

  1. Start a project on PicMonkey.com. It’ll auto-save to the cloud.
  2. Open the PicMonkey mobile app and log in to find your project.
  3. Finish editing your image and share.

Try the reverse, too—start in the app and finish at PicMonkey.com. So many options!

If you want to learn more about PicMonkey before you try it, I’ve written all these articles to help:

20 more EASY ways to make your own Picture Quotes online

There’s still a huge assortment of sites that allow more or less customization. Less can mean faster and easier!

Most sites on my list are best for making quote pictures, plus a few are meme generators. Both have the potential for posts that go viral, so give ’em a try, if they suit your business brand.

The three I’ve recommended above are created for small business owners. Some on the list below may provide a less professional-looking result.

It may be OK to mix in memes once in awhile, but they may not be appropriate to your business. Proceed with caution.

I’ve included my own synopsis under each site’s name, which is a clickable link. As you try the sites, give them a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” so others know which are best liked.

If you plan to create designs for your business, be sure to check the site’s Terms of Use to ensure it’s allowed. Learn more about graphic design apps ToU.

You can read an in-depth comparison of my favorite design tools, and download a free comparison chart, in this post about design tools for non-designers. The six you’ll find there are all suited to business use.

          PixTeller is and has been in the list for ages.

          The only contact I have from you is from March 28, 2017, when you told me you’d write an article to replace the old review on the blog.

    The floating social buttons on the side of your page make your site extremely annoying to read. This isn’t unique to your site. Consider adding the CSS rule margin-left: 4%; to line 540 to your theme’s style.css file

      Could you share which device or browser you’re using? On mobile they shouldn’t appear at the side. However I may need to reset the browser width that forces them to the top vs side. Thanks!

    Are people allowed to sell any of the quotes they make
    on any of the sites? Or are all of them for personal use only
    to submit to media groups?

      You would have to check the terms of the apps as well as if the quotes are in the public domain.

    Pinwords is a really basic tool, but it’s great if you want to quickly make an image from a quote and add it to your Pinterest account. Pinstamatic actually lets you create a whole bunch of items to add to your Pinterest boards including website snapshots, pins of Twitter profiles and Spotify tracks that you can pin.

      Neither of those exist any more. They were fine, if limited, while they lasted.

    It can be even simple that if you are using a Windows computer you definitely can use MS Paint to do this kind of stuff yet it is a little tricky to manage. On many android phones you can add quotes without any problem with the phone’s editor. Now everything is being provided online, the sites you mentioned are also very helpful yet you have to deal with the advertisements on many of them.

      The online sites make it easy. I recommend paying for a tool like Stencil. It has quotes and images included, and no annoying ads.
