# Create testimonial images

Turn approved testimonials into images for social posts and slides, then download them as PNG or JPEG or save the design as a template.

Turn an approved text testimonial into an image for social media, slides or your website. The workspace owner and a project's Admins can make images; Members and Viewers can't open the image editor.

1. **Open the image editor**

   In your project, open **Images** in the Share section of the sidebar and click **Create Image**. Until you've saved a template, the page shows starter templates instead: click one, or click **Blank canvas**.

   To start from a testimonial, open the **Share** menu on its card in your inbox and choose **Create an image**. It works for approved text testimonials.

2. **Pick a template**

   Click **Templates** at the top of the sidebar. In **Choose a Template**, search or filter by category, **Platform** and number of **Testimonials** (**One** or **Multiple**), then click a design. Templates are grouped by shape: **Square (1:1)**, **Portrait (4:5)**, **Landscape (16:9)** and **Story (9:16)**, plus **With Photos** for designs that show the testimonial's own photos. More designs are under **Popular Templates** at the bottom of the sidebar.

   Pick the template first. Switching to another one resets the colours and background to the new template's; your font choice and your logo stay.

3. **Choose the testimonial**

   In the **Select Testimonial** section, click **Select Testimonial** (or **Change Testimonial**) and pick one. The list shows approved text testimonials only. A template made for several testimonials shows **Select Testimonials** instead, with how many it holds. Until you choose, the editor shows a sample.

4. **Edit the text and style**

   Open the sections in the sidebar:

   - **Content**: the **Author Name**, **Title / Role**, **Company** and **Testimonial Content** (select words and click the highlight button to emphasize them), and **Show Rating**. Below them, the **Font**, **Text size**, **Text color**, **Subtitle color** and **Highlight color** apply to the whole image. Some templates add a **Quote mark** choice.
   - **Headline** and **Call to Action**, in templates that have them.
   - **Platform Badge**: the logo of the site the testimonial came from, when it has one.
   - **Photos**, in **With Photos** templates: which of the testimonial's photos to show.
   - **Background**: a **Solid** colour, a **Gradient**, or **Transparent**.

   Your edits change only this image, never the testimonial itself.

5. **Add your logo**

   Open **Branding**, click **Upload Logo** and choose an image, then pick a corner under **Position**. Adding a logo is on Pro, Premium and Business.

6. **Set the size**

   Click the size button in the top bar; it shows the current size, such as 1080x1080. In **Resize Image**, choose **Recommended** (the best size for this template), one of the **Preset sizes** for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, or a **Custom Size**. Then click **Apply Size**.

7. **Export the image**

   Click **Share** in the top bar and choose **Export as PNG**, **Export as JPEG** or **Copy to Clipboard**. The file is made at twice the width and height shown on the size button, so it stays sharp; the **Share** menu shows the exported size. A **Transparent** background stays transparent in a PNG and turns white in a JPEG.

> **Warning:** Images aren't stored in ReTestimonial. Export before you leave the editor. **Back** asks first when you have changes, but once you leave, the design is lost. To reuse a design, save it as a template.

## Save a design as a template

In the editor, click **Share** and choose **Save as Template**. Enter a **Template Name** and click **Save Template**. A template keeps the look: the base design, background, colours, size and style settings. It doesn't keep the testimonial, headline, call to action, platform badge or photo choices.

Saved templates appear on the **Images** page and under **Your Templates** in the editor's sidebar. On the **Images** page, click a template to open it in the editor, or use its menu to **Rename**, **Duplicate**, **Set as Default** or **Delete** it. The default template opens by itself when you click **Create Image**. It also opens when you use **Create an image** from your inbox, if it's made for one testimonial (and, for a **With Photos** design, the testimonial has photos).

## Watermark and logo by plan

Images made on Free carry a small "Made with ReTestimonial" mark in the bottom-right corner, and the preview shows it too. Other plans have no mark. Adding your own logo is on Pro, Premium and Business. There's no monthly limit on images.

## Shortcuts

Press Ctrl+Z to undo and Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z to redo (Cmd on a Mac). Ctrl+S doesn't save: it reminds you to export or save a template from the **Share** menu.
