Motivational Quotes are a great source of motivation and they boost positive thoughts which are important when dealing with the problems we face in life.
I gained experience in making different picture motivational quotes (quotes with a picture as a background). An example is this:
These motivational quotes are unique, clear in design, and attractive. There are many websites like Quozio, Quotes Cover , Visme, etc that you can use to create motivational quotes. But I use Pixellab and Canva to make motivational quotes for my Facebook quotes page and Instagram account because of the quality and they both have many great features.
I’ll give fully detailed steps that I do when making motivational quotes in both Canva and Pixellab.

How to make motivational quotes using Pixellab
Open the app and follow the steps to make a motivational quote using Pixellab:
1. Click on the three dots then click on use image from gallery and choose the background image for your motivational quotes.
To resize the image click on the same three dots then click on image size and choose the size that suits you. I always use the aspect ratio of the Instagram post which is 4:5.
2. Click on New texts then click on “font” to change the quote font.
I always use two fonts which are Oswald bold font [to download click here] and Bison font [to download click here]. You can import any font to Pixellab by searching on Google then downloading it. It’s not hard.
3. Double tab New text and change it with your motivational quote, then click on OK.
4. click on size to resize the quote according to your choice. The quote size is 55 and the font is Oswald bold in this tutorial.
5. Click on line spacing to change the space between the lines (the line spacing in this tutorial is -17).
6. Make the quote clear by turning on shadow and stroke.
7. Click on the + (add), then click on from gallery and choose your logo. Resize it to suit the picture quote perfectly.
8. Lastly, to save your motivational quote, click on save then click on save as an image. Change the format to png and change the dimension to ultra for high quality.
9. Save the image as a project to save you time. The next time you want to design a motivational quote, you can select that project and change only the background image and the quote.
