About Meme generator

Meme generator draws your text, captions and stickers onto a picture and exports a single PNG or JPG. With your own image the meme keeps its aspect ratio and is scaled to at most 1600 pixels on the long side, plenty for chats and social feeds while keeping files small; the built-in layouts export at fixed sizes such as 1200 × 1200 for the four-panel grid. Caption bars add white space above or below the picture, so the exported image grows taller instead of covering the photo.

The classic style uses Anton, an open-source typeface with the look of Impact, in white with a black outline and automatic capitals; the plain style uses Inter in dark text, which suits the newer caption-bar format. Each text box wraps inside an adjustable width, can be aligned left, centre or right, and can be rotated; emoji stickers scale and rotate the same way. You can crop a photo to 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9, add a coloured border, or fill each panel of a layout with a different picture.

There is no library of famous meme templates, because those images are usually copyrighted; bring your own picture or build one from the blank layouts. Animated GIF memes and video captions are not supported.

Privacy

Your picture is combined with the text on a canvas in this tab, so your file never leaves your device and nobody sees the meme before you share it. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts once you start editing, and emoji are drawn with your system's own emoji font.

Meme generator: frequently asked questions

How do I make a meme with my own picture?
Drop or paste your picture and two text boxes appear at the top and bottom. Type your lines into the Text fields on the right, drag each box where you want it on the image, and use the corner handle to resize or the round handle to rotate. Add stickers or a caption bar if you like, then click Download or Copy.
What font do classic memes use?
The classic look is Impact: tall, condensed, bold capitals in white with a thick black outline so they read on any photo. Impact is not installed on every device, so this generator uses Anton, a free open-source font with almost identical proportions that renders the same on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone. Switch fonts in the Text panel for other styles.
How do I add a caption above the image instead of on it?
Type into Caption above or Caption below in the Captions panel. The image gains a white bar with dark, sentence-case text — the modern caption style common on X, Reddit and Instagram — and the picture itself stays uncovered. You can still place classic outlined text on top of the photo at the same time if the joke needs both.
Are there ready-made meme templates?
The tool offers blank layouts rather than famous template images, which are usually copyrighted photos and film stills. Pick two rows, two columns, a four-panel grid or a choice layout with images on the left and text on the right, then click each empty panel to drop in your own pictures. Default text boxes are already positioned for each layout.
Does the meme generator add a watermark?
No. Exports are clean PNG or JPG files with no logo, signature or link burned into the image, and there is no sign-up or daily cap. PNG keeps text and stickers perfectly sharp, while JPG produces a smaller file that is better for sending over slow connections. Copy places a PNG on your clipboard for pasting straight into a conversation.
