The classic meme look

Classic image macros use bold, condensed capital letters in white with a thick black outline, so the text is readable on any picture. This generator uses Anton, a free open-source font close to the original Impact.

Meme tips

  • Keep it short: the best memes have fewer than ten words per line.
  • Set up the joke at the top and deliver it at the bottom.
  • Use Caption above for screenshots and photos where text over the picture would hide something.

About pictures you use

Memes usually reuse photos and film stills. Your own photos are safest; for anything you post publicly or use in advertising, make sure you're allowed to use the image.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a watermark?

No. Your meme is downloaded exactly as you made it.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Everything is drawn in your browser, so the picture never leaves your device.

Can I make a GIF meme?

Not yet: animated images are turned into a still of the first frame.

What font do memes use?

Traditionally Impact. This tool uses Anton, a similar free font, so your memes look the same on every device.
