How it works

How to make a quote video.

Four steps, about a minute, and nothing to install.

  1. 1

    Type the quote

    Paste or type up to 220 characters, then who said it and where it’s from. Copy the wording from the source itself, and credit the person who really said it.

  2. 2

    Choose a design

    Classic gives it a large opening mark, Card puts it on a panel, and Minimal is the words alone. Center it or set it flush left, and name a phrase to highlight.

  3. 3

    Set the pace and the look

    Bring the quote in line by line or word by word, at 1 to 10 words a second. Then pick one of six looks and five typefaces, or your own colors, and a frame: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 or 4:5.

  4. 4

    Download the MP4

    Press Download. The video is rendered in your browser at 1080p and saved to your device, usually in a few seconds. No account, no watermark.

Ready-made versions

Motivational quote video

“The best way out is always through.” in bold capitals, one word at a time, with the last word highlighted and Robert Frost credited.

When a quote video isn’t enough

The free quote video is the starting point.

Here you get a quote on a background. In Rescroll you describe the graphic you actually want, such as “put this line beside me as I read it, each word lighting up as I say it, in our brand font”, and it’s designed from scratch on your own video. Attach your logo, your fonts or a screenshot and it matches them. Not right yet? Ask for the change in the chat.

The basics

What is a quote video?

A quote video is a short clip that puts a quotation on screen, usually a line or a word at a time, followed by the name of the person who said it. Creators post one as a Reel, a Short or a TikTok, open a longer video with one, or cut to one when they read a line aloud.

This maker does the typesetting for you. It sizes the type to the frame, breaks the lines so they come out even and end where the sentence pauses, and turns straight quotes, double hyphens and three dots into curly quotes, dashes and an ellipsis. There are three designs: Classic has a large opening quotation mark, Card puts the quote on a panel, and Minimal is the words alone.

Quote accurately and credit the real author. Copy the wording from the book, speech or interview itself, because well-known lines are often reworded or pinned on the wrong person, and use the second credit line to say where it comes from.

Questions

Quote video: your questions, answered.

How do I make a quote video?

In the quote video maker at the top of this page, type the quote, who said it and where it’s from, choose Classic, Card or Minimal, pick a look and a frame shape, and press Download. You get a 1080p MP4 made in your browser, with no sign-up and no watermark.

What's the difference between Classic, Card and Minimal?

They are three designs for the same quote. Classic gives it a large opening quotation mark, with a short rule and the name in small spaced capitals beneath. Card puts the quote on a rounded panel with the name under a divider. Minimal is the words alone inside curly quotes, with the name after a dash. Turn Quotation marks off and each design drops its marks.

How long can the quote be?

Up to 220 characters, which is two or three sentences. The type is sized to the frame, so a long quote is set smaller and a short one larger: a quote of a dozen characters can be half as big again as one of seventy. The name and the source take up to 40 characters each.

Can I choose where the lines break?

Yes. Press Enter in the Quote box wherever you want a new line, and the maker keeps the break, up to nine of them. Between your breaks it chooses its own, aiming for lines of even length that end at commas and periods rather than on words like “the” or “of”.

Can I highlight part of the quote?

Yes. Type a phrase from the quote into “Highlight these words”, up to 40 characters, as it appears in the quote. Once the whole quote is on screen, a block of the accent color sweeps across the phrase and the words on it change color. Leave the field empty for no highlight.

Can the quote appear one word at a time?

Yes. Set Appears to Word by word and each word rises into place in turn; Line by line brings in a line at a time. Pace sets the speed for both, from 1 to 10 words a second. About 2.5 keeps up with someone reading the quote aloud.

How do I change the font of the quote?

Typeface, under Look, has five: Serif, Sans, Impact, Hand and Mono. The serif also has an Italic switch, and All capitals works with any of them.

Does the maker come with quotes?

No. You type or paste the quote yourself. The maker doesn’t suggest, write or check quotes, so the wording and the name on screen are the ones you give it.

How do I credit a quote properly?

Give the name of the person who said or wrote it, and where it comes from if you know: the book, the speech, the year. Check the wording against the original, because well-known lines are often shortened, reworded or credited to the wrong person. If you can’t trace a line to a source, credit it as Unknown instead of guessing.

Can I use any quote in my video?

Not always. The maker doesn’t check who owns the words. Text old enough to be in the public domain is free to use, but recent books, song lyrics and speeches can be under copyright, and the rules for quoting them differ from country to country. For an ad or anything you sell, check before you use someone else’s words.

Can I put the quote over my own video?

Yes, in your editor. The maker doesn’t take uploads and an MP4 can’t store transparency, so set the background to green and remove it with chroma key, or set it to black and use the Screen blend mode. With the Classic or Minimal design only the quote itself is left over your footage; the Card keeps its panel.

Does the quote video have music or sound?

No. The MP4 is video only. Add music or a voiceover in your editor, and set Pace to match the reading if the words should keep time with a voice.

Is the quote video maker free?

Yes. It's free to use and free to download, with no account, no email address and no watermark on the video. There's no limit on how many you make.

What format and resolution is the video?

An MP4 with H.264 video, at 1080p in the shape you choose: 1080×1920 (9:16) for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 1920×1080 (16:9) for YouTube, 1080×1080 (1:1), or 1080×1350 (4:5) for the Instagram feed. You can export at 30 or 60 frames per second.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

No. The quote video is drawn and encoded on your own device, using your browser's built-in video encoder. Nothing is sent to a server and there's no render queue.

Which browsers does it work in?

It needs a browser that can encode video with the WebCodecs API: current versions of Chrome, Edge and Safari, and Firefox on a computer. If your browser can't, the page tells you before you start.

Can I use the quote video in client work, ads or monetized videos?

Yes. The video you download is yours to use in personal and commercial projects, with no attribution needed.

Can I match my brand, add my logo or change the design?

Not in the free maker, which is deliberately simple. That's what Rescroll's AI motion graphics are for: describe the graphic you want in plain English, attach your logo, fonts or a screenshot of your style, and it's designed from scratch on your own video, placed around you and timed to the word you say. Ask for any change in the chat. It's part of the Pro, Ultimate and Scale plans.
