The Post Studio

Testimonial post templates

Twelve card layouts for turning a customer’s words into an Instagram, LinkedIn or Story post — each one drawn in any of sixteen palettes, at the platform’s own size. They live in Testymo’s Post Studio, on every plan, and they differ from a blank template in one way that matters: you never retype a quote into them. The card fills from a response your customer already wrote and already said yes to.

01 The twelve layouts

Every card below draws the studio’s sample quote — invented for demonstration, no customer wrote it. Your cards draw your customers’ words: the same layout, the same palette, your quote and your attribution in place of the sample.

Typographic

The quote is the graphic. No photo needed, and strongest at thumbnail size.

Slab · Ink Best at 4–12 words

Sample testimonial post in the Centred layout, Rose palette: the excerpt centred in dark type on a soft pink ground, the attribution centred beneath it — Centred · Rose Best at 4–10 words

Quote Mark · Sand Best at 10–24 words

Sample testimonial post in the Band layout, Signal palette: the excerpt in cobalt on a yellow band crossing a cobalt ground, the attribution below in white — Band · Signal Best at 4–12 words

Sample testimonial post in the Corner layout, Bleach palette: a short blue rule in the top corner of a white card, the excerpt and attribution set low in the opposite corner — Corner · Bleach Best at 8–20 words

Editorial & handmade

Print manners or a made-by-hand feel, for brands that would rather look considered than loud.

Sample testimonial post in the Editorial layout, Oxblood palette: a Customer Story kicker, the excerpt in italic serif on a deep oxblood ground, a numbered stamp in the corner — Editorial · Oxblood Best at 10–26 words

Sticker · Forest Best at 4–14 words

Photographic

Built around a portrait. The cards draw a duotone placeholder silhouette — no customer photo is used or invented.

Sample testimonial post in the Photo Half layout, Carbon palette: a teal duotone placeholder silhouette over the top half, the excerpt and attribution on a dark panel below — Photo Half · Carbon Best at 6–24 words

Sample testimonial post in the Portrait layout, Night palette: a full-bleed duotone placeholder silhouette with the excerpt and attribution overlaid at the foot — Portrait · Night Best at 6–20 words

Narrative

The whole quote as a message someone sent. Carries the long ones.

Sample testimonial post in the Chat layout, Slate palette: the whole quote as a message bubble under a Tuesday 9:14 timestamp, a five-star row inside it and the sender line beneath — Chat · Slate The whole quote, 12–60 words

Evidence

Proof beyond the words — a printed receipt, a rating set in a ruled grid.

Sample testimonial post in the Receipt layout, Paper palette: the whole quote set in typewriter type on a printed receipt with a serrated edge, stamped Testimonial number 1050 — Receipt · Paper The whole quote, 12–48 words

Sample testimonial post in the Swiss Rule layout, Obsidian palette: a ruled grid holding a 5.0 rating with gold stars beside the excerpt, a 12 of 75 stamp in the head row — Swiss Rule · Obsidian Best at 10–26 words

02 Sixteen palettes, four sizes

Any layout takes any palette — the pairings above are the studio’s suggestions, not rules. A palette is three working colours: the ground, the ink and one accent, contrast-checked as a set so the quote stays readable on every card.

Ink
Bleach
Signal
Sand
Obsidian
Paper
Forest
Slate
Oxblood
Mist
Violet
Clay
Carbon
Lemon
Rose
Night

And each card exports at the platform’s real pixel size, so nothing is cropped on upload — here is the same Slab card at all four:

The same sample Slab card in the Square format, 1080 × 1080 pixels — Square · 1080 × 1080 the feed's default

The same sample Slab card in the Portrait format, 1080 × 1350 pixels — Portrait · 1080 × 1350 the taller feed card

The same sample Slab card in the Wide format, 1200 × 630 pixels — Wide · 1200 × 630 link previews and X

The same sample Slab card in the Story format, 1080 × 1920 pixels — Story · 1080 × 1920 stories, full-bleed

03 A template that fills itself

A template gallery usually hands you an empty frame: you paste the quote, retype the name, nudge the text until it fits, and repeat all of it for the next one. The Post Studio starts one step earlier. It reads from the testimonials you collected with Testymo, offers only the responses whose author said yes to public use, and draws the card for you — you cut the excerpt by clicking words on the card itself, then pick a layout and a palette.

What downloads is the platform-ready PNG. A single post ships with its caption — the whole quote, attributed — and the alt text already written; a carousel ships as numbered slides zipped with both, a cover in front and an end card behind, the palette locked across the set. Posting stays yours: Testymo does not schedule or publish anything, and there is no watermark on any plan.

If you want a card without signing up, the free testimonial image generator makes one from a pasted quote in five looks — it just cannot remember who said yes, which is the studio’s whole advantage. And for what to write around the image once you have it, how to use testimonials on social media covers the caption, the cadence and the ask.
