How to make a meme
- Drop an image on the box, paste one, or select Choose file. PNG, JPG and WebP work.
- Type the top text and the bottom text. Leave either one empty if you only need a single line.
- Adjust the text size and outline until it reads clearly on your picture.
- Pick PNG or JPG.
- Select Download meme.
How the text is drawn
Classic meme text is white with a thick black outline, which stays readable on both light and dark backgrounds. The tool draws the outline first and the fill on top, with rounded joins so letters do not get sharp spikes. Long lines wrap onto more lines automatically, and the text size scales with the picture, so a small image and a large one look alike.
The preview you see is the real pixels you will download. If a caption looks cramped, shorten it or lower the text size.
Use your own images
There is no built-in library of popular meme pictures. Many of those images are copyrighted, and a free tool should not hand them out. Use your own photos, screenshots or drawings, or images that are free to reuse. That way what you share is yours.
Tips
- PNG keeps edges crisp. JPG makes smaller files for chat apps.
- Crop first for a square or wide shape. The crop tool does it in your browser.
- Share a big image faster by running it through the image compressor after you make the meme.
- Need exact pixel dimensions for a post? Use the image resizer.
- Making a screenshot look good for a post? Try the screenshot beautifier.

Good captions are short. Two or three words per line is easier to read than a full sentence, especially on a phone. Put the setup on top and the punchline on the bottom, and leave the middle of the picture clear so the subject stays visible.
