✦ Another verse

The PNG carries the verse, its reference, the translation and this site's address — no photograph, no illustration, no account required.

JavaScript is turned off, so the live card and the PNG export cannot run in this browser — the example picture and the full verse text above are still correct, and the link below still draws another verse on our server.

How the Bible Verse Picture Maker Works

Three steps, about a minute — and the file is yours to keep.

Draw a verse

The card above opens on an example verse. “Another verse” draws a different one from the same 305 maintained passages the rest of the site uses — in your browser, while the current pool cycle avoids recent repeats.

Choose a theme and a size

Three typographic themes — Parchment, Night Vigil and Gold Minimal — and two exports: Story (1080×1920) or Post (1080×1080). Every change redraws the card instantly, before you download anything.

Download the PNG

Download PNG saves exactly what you see, at full resolution. Copy verse puts the plain text with its reference on your clipboard, and Read in context opens the passage with its note and prayer.

What ends up on the card: the verse in quotation marks, its reference, the name of the translation and getrandombibleverse.com. Nothing else is added — no photograph, no illustration, and no logo stamped across the words. Every passage in the pool fits the frame; the longest KJV text in it is 277 characters (Joshua 24:15, measured at build time).

Three Themes for Your Bible Verse Picture

Same verse, same size — only the colours change. These examples are pre-rendered from the same layout the maker uses in your browser, so you can judge a theme before you draw one.

Parchment — the printable one

Verse picture example: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1, in the light Parchment theme

Warm paper (#FAF7F1) with dark ink and a muted gold rule. The closest of the three to a printed card or a journaling page, and the one that survives a black-and-white printer.

Night Vigil — for dark screens

Verse picture example: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1, in the dark Night Vigil theme

Deep navy (#14161D) with warm gold type. Made for the places a card is seen at night — a lock screen, a late feed, a story opened in bed — where a white background glares.

Gold Minimal — the bold one

Verse picture example: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1, in the solid gold Gold Minimal theme

A solid gold field (#B08D3E) with cream type. The highest-contrast option in a thumbnail, and the nearest thing here to a quote card you would see pinned in a feed.

All three examples show Psalm 23:1 (KJV) at Story size, 1080×1920. Your own export can differ by a pixel or two in the text because your device rasterises the font slightly differently — the live canvas above is the authority.

Story or Post: Which Card Size Fits Where

Two exports cover almost everything people do with a verse picture.

Story — 1080 × 1920 (9:16)

The vertical card, shaped like a phone screen. It is the right fit for Instagram and Facebook Stories, WhatsApp status, a Reels cover or a lock screen — and if you print it at 300 dpi it comes out about 9.1 × 16.3 cm (3.6 × 6.4 in), a small card or bookmark.

Post — 1080 × 1080 (1:1)

The square card for a normal feed post or a Pinterest pin, with no cropping step in between. Printed at 300 dpi it measures about 9.1 × 9.1 cm (3.6 × 3.6 in) — the size of a square greeting-card panel.

Both files are generated at exactly the pixel size on the button. Nothing is cropped, stretched or upscaled on the way out, and the preview you approve is the file you get.

Using Your Verse Picture — and What It Is Not

Published by Get Random Bible Verse

Where you can put it

Post it, print it, set it as a lock screen, send it to someone who needs it. WEB and ASV are public domain; KJV reuse has a separate UK rights position. Our terms allow the cards you generate here to be used freely for personal and non-commercial sharing, no credit line required. There is no picker for one specific verse, though: the maker draws at random from the pool, skipping anything you have already seen. If a particular passage is the whole point, browse the full list of 305 passages and draw until it appears — or pick the wording you already know and read it in context instead.

What these cards are not

They are typographic cards: words on a coloured field with a small cross mark. There are no photographs, no painted illustrations and no AI artwork here — some other sites publish a fixed picture for each verse, and that is a different product. If a photo background is what you came for, this generator is honestly not it. What it does instead is stay legible when a friend sees it at thumbnail size, weigh little enough to post from a phone, and re-render in three themes and two sizes in one tap.

One more honest note: density varies with length. A two-word verse such as “Jesus wept.” (John 11:35) sits small and alone on a large empty field, while the pool's longest text, Joshua 24:15 at 277 characters, runs to about ten lines of type. Both fit inside the frame; the picture simply gets fuller. When the look matters as much as the words, draw again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a random Bible verse with picture in the KJV?

Yes — the King James Version is the default. The toggle under the card switches the same verse into the World English Bible or the American Standard Version and redraws it, so you can compare wordings before you download. WEB and ASV are public domain; KJV reuse has a separate UK rights position explained in our Terms.

Do I need an account or an app to make a verse picture?

No account or app is required. The card and PNG are created in your browser, and draw history is stored locally. Ordinary page, font and verse-data requests still pass through the site's hosting services, as described in Privacy.

Can I post these Bible verse pictures on Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest?

The site's Terms allow generated cards to be used for personal and non-commercial sharing. WEB and ASV are public domain; KJV reuse can depend on territory. The card includes the translation and site address so its source stays visible.

Why are there no photos or illustrations in the cards?

Because the words are the point, and a typographic card stays readable when a friend sees it small in a feed. Photographs would also mean stock licences or AI artwork whose provenance we could not honestly stand behind. If a photographic or illustrated background is exactly what you want, this generator is not that tool — we would rather say so plainly than dress these cards up.

How do I save the picture on a phone?

Open this page on the phone and tap Download PNG. The file arrives at its full 1080-pixel width in whatever folder your browser uses for downloads, ready to post as a story or set as a lock screen. No app is involved, and the same file works on a laptop.

Is the PNG really 1080×1920, or just the preview size?

The export is full size. The preview on this page is scaled down to fit your screen, but the PNG behind it is rendered at exactly the dimensions on the size button — 1080×1920 for Story and 1080×1080 for Post. Download one and check its file information if you would like to verify that yourself.

What happens once I have seen every verse?

The draw skips verses you have already met and tells you when the set has been exhausted, then the memory resets and the pool starts again without a repeat straight away. That list is shared with the site's other drawing tools, so a verse you met on the home page will not immediately turn up here.
