Turn Meaningful Words into Images with Quozio

September18

quozio_logoNeed a cool tool to transform words into neat visuals? Then look no further than Quozio, a very user-friendly web resource that turns any quote into a nifty image.

It works something like this: Just enter the desired text in the field provided followed by who said it in the next box then click the “Go” button. And boom—within a matter of seconds, an image is generated.  Next, scroll through the various styles available on the site and find the one that best matches your message. To save your masterpiece for use in print and digital projects, simply right click on the image and use the “Save image as” command.

So, how much does Quozio cost? Ummm… It’s totally free so hopefully you’ll find some room in your budget for this tech gem! If you love the tool, then pay it forward by offering up some “web currency”—a Facebook like. Yep, show ‘em some love on all of your social networks.

Do I need an account to use Quozio? Nope. Just have at it. No account, no sign-up, no email address required. However, if you do chose to create an account you can save your favorite quotes, share ‘em with your peops on Facebook, Pinterest, email and all that kind of cool stuff.

As an added bonus, there’s even a Quozio bookmarklet which allows users to instantly create an image from any text that is highlighted on a web page.

Check out my very first Quozio image shown below.
