What's inside
From one line to a picture worth sharing
A quote library, ready templates, typography and calligraphy editors, an image editor and print-ready cards — all in one app, all behaving the same way.
A library of 1,508 quotes
Hand-picked quotes, captions, proverbs and duas in 23 categories — Islamic, literature, village life, the six seasons, rivers, folk songs. Search them, filter by language, keep the ones you like.
205 ready templates
Eid, Ramadan, Ekushey February, Pohela Boishakh, Victory Day, birthdays, business offers — sorted onto 12 shelves. Open one, swap the words, and the picture is yours. YouTube thumbnails, Shorts and Reels covers and Facebook covers, each at its real size.
Everyday greetings
Fifteen ready cards for good morning, good evening and good night, plus Jumma Mubarak on Friday. The app reads the clock and the weekday and puts today's shelf at the front of the home screen — no waiting for a festival.
The image editor
46 gradients, any colour you like, or a photo from your gallery. Blur, brightness, contrast, saturation and a dim overlay keep the text legible over any picture.
A calligraphy editor
Gold foil, hollow, engraved, neon glow — eight inks and 12 ready styles. Bend a line into an arch and Bangla conjuncts and Arabic joining forms still come out intact.
Typography — poster lettering
35 ready designs and 16 inks — 3D block, long shadow, sticker, cut-out, gold foil, chrome, neon. Headline, sub-line and caption sit as one block with the lines stretched to a single width, the way a Bangla poster is set. Nine containers and ten backdrops on top.
Cards ready for the press
Visiting cards at 90×55 mm and ID cards at 85.6×54 mm, landscape and portrait. 3 mm of bleed and a measured safe area, with the cut guides drawn while you edit. Export a PDF or a 300 DPI image and hand it straight to the printer.
Name art
A picture worth sharing built around your name or someone else's — type the name, pick a style, save it and send it.
Fonts your way
Eleven Bangla faces, eleven Latin and five Arabic, each script picked separately. Your own .ttf or .otf — downloaded from anywhere — can be imported straight from the device.
Bangla without a Bangla keyboard
Type in English letters and get Bangla — "shuvo sokal" becomes শুভ সকাল. No separate keyboard to install and no connection needed; the word converts the moment you press space, and the cursor stays where you left it.
Photos, stickers, motifs and frames
Several photos at once plus 32 stickers — drag to place, pinch to resize and turn. 50 motifs and 18 frames, all drawn as vectors, so they stay sharp at export size.
My designs
Save a typography or calligraphy board and open it again later to change the colour, the font or the words. Closing the editor no longer throws the work away.
Daily quote, reminders and a widget
One quote a day arrives as a notification at a time you choose, and the home screen widget shows today's quote the moment you unlock the phone. Save a birthday or anniversary once and it reminds you on the morning, with the card already filled in.
Screenshots
What the app looks like
See it before you install — these are the app's real screens, not mockups.
The quote library
23 categories, each in its own colours. Filter by language, search, and keep favourites.
The template gallery
174 cards on 11 shelves — every tile is the real canvas, drawn at thumbnail size.
The template editor
Tap a layer to pick it, tap again to open it. Drag to move — it snaps to the centre and the thirds.
The image designer
Background, effects, font, colour, shape, photo, sticker, align, frame, layers — ordered by what you reach for most.
Calligraphy
Gold leaf, neon, engraved — a separate editor for treating one line as artwork.
Visiting cards
Cards measured in millimetres with bleed and safe-area guides. A PDF or a 300 DPI image for the press.
Every device
Design on your phone, or on your computer
Kothachitra now runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android — or straight in your browser with nothing to download. Same quotes, same templates, same editor in every one.

Templates

Every template is a whole canvas — open it, change the words, drop a photo in, save. They are drawn as vectors rather than image assets, so they stay sharp at any size. Every card is written in both Bangla and English.

Why Kothachitra
Light, private, and yours
Everything you make is made on your phone and stays there — no image, no text and no favourite is sent to a server.
Works offline
The quotes ship inside the app, so you can read them with no connection. Only Google Fonts need the internet, and only the first time you use one.
No account needed
No sign-up, no phone number, no email. Your favourites and the pictures you make stay on your own device.
Long text is never clipped
A longer quote grows the canvas, and where the size is fixed the lettering scales to fit instead — either way the last line never goes missing.
Bangla and English, content too
Whichever language you read the app in, the quotes and the words on a template follow — all 617 lines across 205 templates are written in both. Or split them: read in Bangla, design in English.
Questions
What people ask before installing
Is Kothachitra free?
Yes. The app is a free download from Google Play, and every quote, template and editor in it is free to use. There are no in-app purchases.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no phone number and no email. Open the app and start using it — your favourites are stored on your own device.
Does it work without internet?
The quotes ship inside the app, so reading, saving favourites and making pictures all work offline. The internet is only needed the first time you use a font that comes from Google Fonts.
Is there an iPhone version?
Right now Kothachitra is on Google Play for Android only. If an iOS version arrives it will be announced on this site and in the Facebook group.
Can I use my own text?
Yes. Besides the library, you can type any text of your own and take it straight into the designer — the same backgrounds, fonts, colours and effects apply.
Can I add my own Bangla font?
Yes. “Add a font from the device” in the font sheet accepts any .ttf or .otf you have downloaded. The file is copied into the app's own folder, so it is still there the next time you open it.
Do the images have a watermark?
Quote and calligraphy images carry a small Kothachitra mark. Visiting cards and ID cards carry none — that is your own stationery.
Can the cards really go to a printer?
They can. Visiting cards are built at 90×55 mm and ID cards at 85.6×54 mm, with 3 mm of bleed and a 4 mm safe area. The export is a PDF at exactly that size, or a 300 DPI image.
How do I type Bangla without a Bangla keyboard?
Type in English letters. Turn on Banglish mode inside the app and "shuvo sokal" becomes শুভ সকাল — the word converts the moment you press space. No separate keyboard to install, and it works offline.
Are there good morning and Jumma Mubarak pictures?
Yes. The Everyday shelf has 15 cards for good morning, good evening and good night, plus Jumma Mubarak for Friday. The app reads the clock and the weekday and brings today's cards to the front of the home screen.
Are there Ramadan and Eid cards?
Yes. Eighteen Ramadan cards — Ramadan Kareem, sehri and iftar wishes, taraweeh, the iftar dua and the fasting intention (Arabic with the meaning), Jumatul Bida, the night of Qadr, zakat, fitra and Chand Raat. Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha cards are there too.
Can I make a 3D poster from a name or a line?
Yes. The typography editor has 35 ready designs and 16 inks — 3D block, long shadow, sticker, cut-out, gold foil, chrome and neon. A headline, a sub-line and a small caption sit together, and the lines can be stretched to a single width.
If I use the app in English, are the templates English too?
Yes. All 617 lines across the 205 templates are written in both Bangla and English, so changing the app language changes the words on the cards. You can also split them — read the app in Bangla and design in English, or the other way round.
Can I reopen a design and change it later?
Yes. Save a board from the typography or calligraphy editor and it waits in My designs — open it again later to change the colour, the font or the words.
Will it remind me of a birthday?
It will. Save a name and a date once and a notification arrives on the morning every year — tap it and the card opens with the name already filled in. Birthdays, anniversaries and other special days are all supported.
Are the pictures I make uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is made on your phone and saved to your gallery. Kothachitra does not send your images, your text or your favourites to any server.
Are Qur'an verses included with the Arabic?
Yes. The Islamic and Dua categories carry 98 verses and duas with the Arabic original, the Bangla meaning and a reference, and Arabic has its own font picker.
What if I find a mistake or want a quote added?
Write to kothachitra.com@gmail.com or post in the Facebook group. Reported mistakes are fixed in the next update.
