'''Make it a Quote''' is ~~an online quote~~-image ~~generator~~ and social media ~~bot~~ operated by {{ll|Neodyland}}. ~~The service converts messages~~ or ~~social-media posts~~ into ~~stylized images resembling typographic quotations~~, ~~typically combining the quoted text with~~ the author's name and ~~profile image~~.~~<ref name="official">{{Cite web|url=https://miq.moe/en-US|title=Make it a Quote – official website|accessdate=2026-08-15}}</ref>~~

'''Make it a Quote''' is a Quote-image service and collection of social-media bots operated by {{ll|Neodyland}}. It turns a message or post into a shareable image containing its text, the author's display name and username, and their avatar.

~~Make it a Quote~~ is available on Discord, Bluesky, and services in the Fediverse, including Misskey.~~<ref name="official" /> On supported~~ platforms, ~~users can invoke~~ the ~~bot in a reply to another user's content, after which~~ the ~~service generates a shareable image based on the referenced message or post~~.

The service is available on Discord, Bluesky, and services in the Fediverse, including Misskey. The way a Quote is requested differs between platforms, while the generated images share the same basic designs and options.

== Operation ==

On Discord, Make it a Quote ~~is primarily invoked by mentioning the bot while replying to a~~ message. The bot ~~then renders the contents of the replied-to message as~~ a ~~quote~~ image.~~<ref name="dbl">~~{{~~Cite web~~|~~url=https://discordbotlist~~.~~com/bots/make-it-a-quote|title=Make it a Quote Discord Bot|publisher=Discord Bot List|accessdate=2026-08-15~~}}~~</ref>~~

On Discord, users can reply to a message and mention the bot. They can also use the {{code|Make it a Quote}} message command from Discord's Apps menu. The bot replies with a generated Quote image.

The ~~Bluesky version operates in a similar manner~~. ~~Users can mention the Make it~~ a Quote ~~account in a reply to a~~ post ~~to generate~~ an image ~~from that post~~. A separate removal account is ~~provided~~ for requesting deletion of an image ~~generated~~ by the ~~service~~.~~<ref name="bluesky">{{Cite web|url=https://bsky.app/profile/miq.moe|title=Make it~~ a Quote ~~(@miq~~.~~moe)|publisher=Bluesky|accessdate=2026-08-15}}</ref>~~

On Bluesky, users reply to a post and mention the {{code|@miq.moe}} account. The requesting account must follow the bot. The bot generates a Quote from the parent post and publishes it as an image reply. A separate removal account is available for requesting deletion of an image posted by the bot.

~~They support options that alter~~ the ~~appearance of~~ generated ~~images~~. ~~These include~~ a ~~light background, a colored rather than monochrome profile image, horizontal flipping, bold~~ text, and ~~selection of {{ll|Make~~ it a Quote~~/Fonts|different fonts}}~~.~~<ref name="dbl" /> The service's website also describes multiple quote-image designs.<ref name="official" />~~

On Discord, a generated Quote includes controls for changing compatible options and selecting a font or theme. The author of the quoted message and the user who generated it can remove the generated response.

Discord also provides Custom Quote. It creates a Quote from user-entered text and attributes it to a selected server member. Custom Quote is generated only when the applicable user and server settings allow it.

== Options ==

~~There are various image generation~~ options ~~in Make it~~ a ~~Quote~~.

Generation options can be written after the bot mention. Boolean options have a full name and a one-letter alias. On Discord, options specified for a request override the user's saved defaults.

=== light (l) ===

~~By specifying~~ {{code|light}} or {{code|l}}~~, you can make~~ the ~~Quote background~~ white.

Specifying {{code|light}} or {{code|l}} uses the white design.

~~As a side effect~~, [[#color_(c)|{{code|color}}]] is ~~automatically applied~~.

The avatar is shown in color in the white design, so the separate [[#color_(c)|{{code|color}}]] option has no additional visual effect while {{code|light}} is active.

=== color (c) ===

~~Normally~~, the avatar ~~used for a Quote~~ is in grayscale. Specifying {{code|color}} or {{code|c}} keeps ~~the avatar~~ in full color.

In the default dark design, the avatar is normally shown in grayscale. Specifying {{code|color}} or {{code|c}} keeps it in full color.

~~This option is automatically enabled when [[#light_(l)|{{code|light}}]] is active~~.

=== flip (f) ===

~~You can horizontally flip the placement of a Quote by specifying~~ {{code|flip}} or {{code|f}}.

Specifying {{code|flip}} or {{code|f}} swaps the placement of the avatar and text in the standard layout. It has no effect on the [[#new_(n)|{{code|new}}]] layout.

=== bold (b) ===

~~You can make text bold by specifying~~ {{code|bold}} or {{code|b}}. ~~This is not supported by some fonts~~.

Specifying {{code|bold}} or {{code|b}} draws the Quote text in bold. On Discord, enabling this option selects M PLUS Rounded 1c as the font.

=== new (n) ===

~~You can change the design of the quote by specifying~~ {{code|new}} or {{code|n}}.

Specifying {{code|new}} or {{code|n}} uses a portrait design with the avatar above the text instead of the standard landscape design.

=== font ===

~~You~~ can ~~change the font used for Quotes~~ by specifying ~~something like~~ {{code|font{{=}}dot}}.

A font can be selected by specifying an option such as {{code|font{{=}}dot}}. If the selected font does not contain a character, Make it a Quote normally uses another bundled font for that character. The default font selection distinguishes Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese text.

{{ll|Make it a Quote/Fonts|'''Please click here for the list of available fonts.'''}}

=== theme ===

~~Supporters~~ can ~~change the~~ theme by specifying {{code|theme{{=}}<theme name>}}.

Donors can select a theme by specifying {{code|theme{{=}}<theme name>}} or one of its aliases. A non-default theme determines its own background and text colors and uses the standard landscape design; {{code|light}}, {{code|color}}, and {{code|new}} do not apply while it is selected.

== Text and emoji ==

For Discord messages, Make it a Quote preserves supported message formatting, including bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and block quotes. Formatting that is not rendered in the Quote is removed without removing its text.

Unicode emoji are rendered as emoji images. Discord custom emoji are resolved from their emoji identifiers. When content originates from Misskey, the originating instance is used to resolve custom emoji such as {{code|:emoji_name:}} and {{code|:emoji_name@host:}}.

== Discord settings ==

Users can save default values for the image options, select their language, choose whether the option controls are displayed, and prevent Quotes from being generated from all of their messages or only from messages containing spoilers. Users can also control whether Custom Quote may use their identity.

Server administrators can configure the bot language, generation cooldown, allowed or blocked roles, and channels in which every message is quoted without a mention. Generated Quotes can also be redirected to another channel.

The Discord interface is available in Arabic, Dutch, English, Esperanto, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Japanese in the Kansai dialect, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Ukrainian.

== History ==

Make it a Quote ~~was initially associated primarily with Discord. Make it a Quote originally started~~ as an idea by suzuneu~~. Afterward, they collaborated~~ with Khsmty~~, but due to increasing server~~ costs, the service was transferred to Neodyland, and suzuneu and Khsmty became Neodyland members. Its official Discord support server was created on 19 March 2022.<ref name="discordserver">{{Cite web|url=https://discord.com/servers/make-it-a-quote-954552825902411786|title=Make it a Quote|publisher=Discord|accessdate=2026-08-15}}</ref> The server is used for technical support, bug reports, feature suggestions, and testing of the ~~bot~~.~~<ref name="discordserver" />~~

Make it a Quote began as an idea by suzuneu and was subsequently developed with Khsmty. As its operating costs and maintenance needs grew, the service was transferred to Neodyland, and both developers joined the organization.

The service ~~was~~ later expanded ~~beyond Discord. A Make it a Quote account on the Misskey.io server was established by September 2023, extending the quote-image concept~~ to Misskey and the wider Fediverse.<ref name="timeline">{{Cite web|url=https://yuinoid.neocities.org/txt/my_dsns_timeline|title=分散 SNS関連年表|publisher=100%health|accessdate=2026-08-15}}</ref> Make it a Quote subsequently became available for Bluesky ~~as well~~.~~<ref name="bluesky" />~~

The service initially focused on Discord. It later expanded to Misskey and the wider Fediverse, followed by Bluesky.

~~The project's website~~ and ~~legal documents identify Neodyland as the organization responsible for the service.<ref name="terms">{{Cite web|url=https://miq.moe/en-US/terms/|title=~~Make it a Quote ~~Terms of Use|publisher=Make it a Quote|date=2023-08-31|accessdate=2026-08-15}}</ref> Neody also lists Make it a Quote among~~ its ~~services~~.~~<ref name="neody">{{Cite web|url=https://neody.land/ja/services|title=サービス一覧|publisher=Neodyland|accessdate=2026-08-13}}</ref>~~

Neodyland currently operates and maintains Make it a Quote, including its website, platform integrations, and image generation system.

== Development ==

~~Publicly accessible components related to Make it a Quote are maintained through the ''miq4d'' organization on [[w:GitHub|GitHub]]. These include localization data, font resources,~~ and ~~software used by the project's~~ Discord ~~support infrastructure.<ref name="github">{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/miq4d|title=Make it a Quote for Discord|publisher=GitHub|accessdate=2026-08-15}}</ref> Some components~~ are ~~written~~ in [[w:Rust (programming language)|Rust]] ~~and~~ [[w:TypeScript|TypeScript]].~~<ref name="github" />~~

The current image generator and Discord integration are implemented primarily in [[w:Rust (programming language)|Rust]]. The Bluesky integration is implemented in [[w:TypeScript|TypeScript]].

The code for the image ~~generation engine itself~~ and ~~the code for~~ the Discord/Bluesky ~~bots are~~ proprietary and not publicly available.

The source code for the image generator and the Discord and Bluesky integrations is proprietary and is not publicly available.

~~The Bluesky version developers~~ are '''~~suzuneu~~'~~'' and '''googlefan''', working under Neody.<ref name="bluesky" />~~

Some supporting resources, including Discord localization data, are maintained publicly through the ''miq4d'' organization on [[w:GitHub|GitHub]].

~~== Usage and community ==~~

~~Make it a Quote has achieved widespread use~~ on Discord. As of August 2026, the third-party service Discord Bot List reported that the bot was installed on approximately 1.16 million Discord servers.<ref name="dbl" /> Because this figure is maintained by an external bot directory and changes over time, it may not represent an exact current installation count.

The official Discord community had more than 26,000 members as of August 2026.<ref name="discordserver" /> Discord categorizes the support server under areas including entertainment, memes, customer support, and bots.<ref name="discordserver" />

The generated images are commonly used to reproduce humorous, notable, or out-of-context messages in a visual form that can be shared independently of the original conversation. Unlike conventional quotation-management bots, Make it a Quote focuses on producing an image of the selected content rather than maintaining a textual database of quotations.
