So you found an inspirational quote 💬 on X and you think of sharing it with your Instagram audience. Awesome! 🙌 But there's a problem: Instagram doesn't allow you to automatically share posts from X.
At this point, you may be asking 🤔 "Why not share a screenshot of the quote?" Instagram is an image-based 📸 platform and X is a text-based 💬 platform. So the two don't match visually. Simply sharing a screenshot of an X quote on Instagram is going to ruin your Instagram aesthetic, and you don't want that! 😉
Instead, I have found two methods for creating & sharing inspirational quotes on your Instagram feed! So, let’s dig into these methods.
How to share an inspirational quote to your Instagram
Method #1: Share an inspirational quote to your Instagram with Canva Templates 🎨
Here's how to create an inspirational quote in Canva:
1. Go to Canva.com and type "Instagram post" into the search bar
2. Next, search for a "Twitter quote" template
3. Customize the template (background, colours, fonts, stickers)
4. Download the image as PNG
Done! You can now share your custom X quote on Instagram. (Tip: It's so easy to schedule your posts on Sharemyinsights!)
Method #2: Share an X quote to your Instagram using the Remix app 📲 (by Buffer)
You can use the Remix app to convert any Tweet into a simple Instagram graphic quote. This method is very fast ⏩ and easy - but take note that you are restricted in terms of the output design.
Here's how to convert a Tweet to a branded Instagram quote using Remix:
1. Open X and select a post
2. Tap on the share button (the 3 dots) and select "Copy link"
3. Open the Remix app on your phone
4. Click "Add URL" and paste the X link you copied
5. Press "Create Image"
And that's it! You can now download ⏬ the image or share it on Instagram.
