About the Meme Generator
Meme Generator puts classic top and bottom captions on any picture you choose. Upload your own photo or screenshot, type the text, adjust the size and pick a colour, and the preview updates as you type. The text uses a bold, outlined style so it stays readable on bright or dark pictures, and long captions wrap and shrink to fit. Download the finished meme as a PNG or JPG. Everything happens in your browser, so your picture is not uploaded, and nothing is added to the image: there is no watermark.

What makes a good meme caption
The best memes are short. Aim for a handful of words on each line so the text can be large. Put the situation at the top and the twist at the bottom, and match the tone to the picture. Avoid long sentences, because the text shrinks to fit and becomes hard to read on a phone.
Making the text readable
- White text with a black outline works on most pictures
- Try yellow for a classic look on dark scenes
- Use black with a white outline on very bright pictures
- Make the text larger for phones, since memes are mostly viewed on small screens
- Choose a picture with clear space at the top and bottom
Saving and sharing
PNG keeps the text crisp and is the best choice for most memes. JPG is smaller, which helps if a messaging app has a size limit. If the file is still too large, run it through the Compress Image tool. Social platforms may recompress images, so a slightly larger text size helps it survive.

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a meme?
Choose a picture, type your top and bottom text and download the result. The classic format is a short setup in the top line and the punchline at the bottom. Use the size slider and colour options if the text is hard to read on your picture.
Does the meme maker add a watermark?
No. The downloaded image contains only your picture and your text. There is no logo, banner or watermark, and you do not need an account.
What font does it use?
It uses a bold condensed font in the style of the classic Impact meme font where your device has it, with similar bold fonts as a fallback. The text has a thick outline so it stays readable on any background.
Can I use only a top or only a bottom caption?
Yes. Leave either text box empty and only the other line appears. You can also type several lines in a box, and long text wraps automatically and gets smaller to fit.
Is my picture uploaded?
No. The picture and captions are drawn on your device with your browser, and the finished meme is created locally. Nothing is sent to a server.
What size is the finished meme?
It matches the size of your picture. Very large pictures, more than 2,000 pixels on the long side, are scaled down to keep the page fast, which is still plenty for sharing online.
Can I use any picture?
You can use any picture you have the right to use. Memes made from other people's photos or from film stills may be protected by copyright, so check the rules before publishing or using them commercially.
