About the Meme Generator

Meme Generator adds classic top and bottom text to your own JPG, PNG or WebP image, or to a plain built-in background. Long text is fitted automatically, and you can still set the size yourself. Add an optional freely positioned caption, and choose between text over the picture or white caption strips above and below it.

Text controls include font style, size, colour, bold, alignment, outline thickness and outline colour. Fonts come from your device or this site, and the tool includes no downloaded meme templates. An optional watermark field lets you add your own small text in the corner. Images never leave your browser.

Type the top and bottom text; switch on a free caption if you need one and drag it into place.

Best practices

Only use images you took or have permission to use.
Keep captions short — memes are usually read in a second.
Use white text with a dark outline on photos, or caption strips for busy images.
Avoid text that targets or mocks private individuals.
Use JPG for photos to keep the file small, and PNG for flat graphics.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Meme Generator include meme templates?

No. It does not include templates downloaded from the internet. Use your own image or the plain built-in background, and only use pictures you have the right to use.

How does auto-fit work?

With Auto-fit on, top and bottom text start at your chosen size and shrink until they fit the width and a sensible height. With it off, your size is kept unless the text would not fit the width or would cover more than about half of the picture, in which case it is reduced so it stays inside.

What is the difference between overlay and caption strips?

Overlay draws the text over the picture, usually white with a dark outline. Caption strips add white bands above and below the picture for dark text, so the output image is taller than the original.

Which fonts can I use?

Impact-style (using your device’s Impact font if it is installed), sans-serif, serif, monospace and Poppins, the site’s own font. No fonts are downloaded from other websites.

Is the watermark required?

No. It is optional, and it shows only text you type yourself, small in the bottom-right corner of the picture.

What happens with an invalid image?

Unsupported, damaged or very large files (over 40 MB or 50 megapixels) show a clear error, and your current meme is kept.
