Quote video questions
Straight answers about templates, sizes, music, files and privacy. The guides above cover CapCut, Canva, InShot and iPhone too.
How do I make a quote video?
Type the quote into Your quote at the top of this page, press Make my video, pick a template, and press Export. You get an MP4 in about the time it takes to read the quote, made entirely in your browser.
Is quote.video free?
Yes. Every template, size and export is free, with no watermark, no sign-up and no paid tier.
Can I add music to a quote video?
Yes. In the Music tab, Add music takes any audio file your browser can play, with Start, End, Fade in, Fade out and Volume. Or choose a Generated music mood made on your device. No music is bundled, so the rights are yours to check.
Which sizes can I export?
9:16 (1080×1920) for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and Stories; 4:5 (1080×1350) and 3:4 (1080×1440) for tall feed posts; 1:1 (1080×1080); 16:9 (1920×1080) for YouTube, X and LinkedIn; and 2:3 (1080×1620) for Pinterest.
What file types do I get?
Video (MP4) in H.264 at 30 or 60 fps, Image (PNG) or Image (JPG) of the final frame, and GIF for short loops. Tick several sizes and they come together in a ZIP.
Will the text be covered by TikTok or Instagram buttons?
No. Text is laid out inside each format’s safe area, and Safe areas shows TikTok, Reels, Shorts, Stories, feed, YouTube and Pinterest overlays on the preview so you can check.
Can I use my own photo or video as the background?
Yes. In Background, choose Photo or video. Darken (with Auto) keeps the words readable, Blur softens busy pictures, and Slow zoom adds gentle movement.
Where do the built-in quotes come from?
Every quote in the Quote library is public domain and comes with its source, checked against the original text. Bible verses use the World English Bible.
Are my designs saved?
Yes, automatically, in this browser. Recent designs lists them so you can reopen, duplicate or delete them. Nothing is stored on a server.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in current Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox on iPhone, Android and tablets. After exporting, Share sends the file to Photos, Instagram, TikTok or a message.
Can I make a quote image instead of a video?
Yes. In Export, choose Image (PNG) or Image (JPG) to save the final frame at full size.
Is the output accessible?
Copy alt text gives you the quote and author as plain text to paste into your post’s alt text field. Every template keeps text at 4.5:1 contrast or better.
Which browsers can export video?
Modern browsers with WebCodecs encode the MP4 quickly on your device. Where that isn’t available, the maker records the preview in real time with the browser’s own recorder instead.
