What is a quote generator? Why use one?

A quote generator is an AI text generator that gives you random quotes or placeholder text. All you need to do is specify the type and number of quotes you want, whether you want inspiring, witty, or thought-provoking quotes on any subject. Using a quote maker tool like Magic Write™ helps you create faster and more efficiently. Instead of spending hours online researching for the best quote for your specific design, you can simply enter a prompt that describes what you’re looking for and get great options in seconds which you can then add instantly to your presentations, posters, and other designs.

Is the quote generator free to use?

The AI quote generator on Canva gives you 50 free lifetime uses with a free account. With a Pro, NFP, or Teams account, you have up to 500 uses per user, per month.

Can I specify the types of quotes I want?

Definitely. You can specify the theme and the tone you want for the quotes to be generated. If you need on-brand quotes, tap “Add a voice” on Magic Write where you can either add a sample text for the quote generator to model, or add descriptors such as funny, playful, inspiring, contemplative, or serious.

How are AI-generated quotes generated?

AI-generated quotes are generated on Canva via Magic Write, the AI writing assistant on the platform powered by OpenAI. You can access it across Canva—just tap the + button on Canva Docs or the Canva Assistant icon in the lower right corner of the editing platform. To generate quotes and other text, Magic Write uses data and information up to mid-2021 to predict and generate the context you want based on your prompt. The more detailed and specific your prompt is, the better the results with the AI quote generator will be.
