What is the Quote Card?

An animated quote card puts a quote on screen as a designed card, with the words arriving one by one and the attribution below. It gives a line the weight of a magazine pull quote.

How it works

The card appears, then the quote's words settle in one after another next to a coloured rail, and the author and role fade in underneath. You set the quote, the author, the role, the card width, the colours and the pace of the words.

Made for

  • Customer testimonials
  • Pull quotes in interviews and podcasts
  • Book and course quotes
  • Founder and leadership statements
  • Motivational and educational clips

Using the Quote Card

Why a quote card beats a quote in captions

A line from a speaker can pass in a second inside captions. Pulling it onto a card tells viewers this one matters.

  1. 1

    It stops the scroll

    The card changes the frame, which signals a key moment and gives the quote room to land.

  2. 2

    Words settling in set the pace

    Arriving one by one, the quote is read at the speed it was meant, not skimmed.

  3. 3

    Attribution adds weight

    A name and role under the quote turns an opinion into a statement from someone.

  4. 4

    It survives a muted feed

    Muted viewers miss the spoken line entirely. On a card, the quote reaches them anyway, with the speaker's name attached.

Testimonials that do not look staged

Customer quotes only persuade when they sound like customers. The card helps, but the words matter more.

  1. 1

    Use their exact words

    Light edits for length are fine, but keep the customer's phrasing. Polished marketing language reads as invented.

  2. 2

    Pick a specific result

    Saved me six hours a week beats amazing tool. Specific quotes are believed; generic praise is skipped.

  3. 3

    Name the person and context

    A real first name and role, such as a podcast host or a course creator, makes the quote credible.

  4. 4

    Keep the card plain

    A calm card with one accent lets the words carry the weight; heavy styling makes a testimonial look like an advert.

Pull quotes from interviews and podcasts

Long conversations hide their best lines. A quote card brings one to the surface.

  1. 1

    Find the line that stands alone

    Pick a sentence that makes sense without the question before it, so it works as a standalone clip.

  2. 2

    Keep it under twenty words

    Short quotes read in one pass and sit comfortably on the card at phone size.

  3. 3

    Show it as it is said

    Cut to the card on the line itself, then back to the speaker, so the quote and the voice reinforce each other.

  4. 4

    Credit the speaker

    Always show the speaker's name and role, so a clip that travels on its own still carries the attribution.

Styling the card

A few settings decide whether the card looks like your brand or a stock template.

  1. 1

    The rail carries your colour

    Set the accent rail to your brand colour; it is the one splash of colour on an otherwise calm card.

  2. 2

    Width follows the quote

    A wider card suits long quotes and landscape video; a narrower one fits short lines and vertical frames.

  3. 3

    Word pace sets the mood

    Fast settling feels confident and punchy, while slower settling suits reflective or emotional quotes that need room.

  4. 4

    Leave room around it

    Over footage, keep the card off the speaker's face; on a plain background, centre it with generous space on every side.

Best Platforms for Quote Card

  1. 1

    LinkedIn

    Quotes from customers and leaders are LinkedIn staples. A clean card reads as credible and professional.

  2. 2

    YouTube

    Interview and podcast clips use pull quotes to highlight the best line. The card holds it on screen long enough to remember.

  3. 3

    Instagram Reels

    Quote content performs on Reels when it moves. Words settling in one by one turn a static quote into a moment.

FAQ

Quote Card, answered

  • Is the animated quote card free?

    Yes. It runs in your browser and exports a 1080p MP4 with no sign-up and no watermark. Change the quote and export again for every testimonial. Each card takes about a minute.

  • How long can the quote be?

    Under twenty words reads best on a phone. Longer quotes still fit, but each word gets smaller and the card takes longer to settle. Split a long quote into two cards if needed.

  • Can I add the person's role or company?

    Yes. There is a field for the author's name and a separate field for their role or company, shown in a muted line under the quote. Either line can be left short.

  • Can I change the speed of the words?

    Yes. One setting controls how quickly each word settles in, and another controls how long the finished card holds before it leaves. Slower settling suits emotional quotes; faster settling suits bold statements.

  • Can I use it for customer testimonials?

    Yes, it is built for that. Use the customer's real words, a specific result and their name and role for a testimonial that reads as genuine. Always ask the customer's permission first.

  • Can I match the card to my brand colours?

    Yes. The accent rail, the card background and the text colour are all separate settings, so the card can match any brand palette. One accent colour on a calm card is usually enough.
