Make a meme from any picture, without a watermark
Drop a picture — a screenshot, a photo, a reaction image — and write the caption. You get the classic white Impact text with a black outline at the top and bottom, or a modern caption bar above the picture, plus as many extra text boxes as you like, each one draggable and styled on its own. The meme is drawn in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is stamped on it.
How to make a meme
- 1Drop an image, choose one, paste it with Ctrl/⌘ + V, or start from a blank square, portrait or wide canvas.
- 2Pick a template: Classic top and bottom text, a Caption bar, Two bars, or a black-framed Poster.
- 3Type the captions. Add more text boxes with Add text, or duplicate one you have styled.
- 4Drag any text on the picture to move it and its corner handle to resize it; select it to change the font, rotation, colours and effect — outline, shadow or a solid label.
- 5Download as JPEG, PNG or WebP, or copy it straight to the clipboard to paste into a chat.
Four templates
- Classic
- White uppercase Impact with a thick black outline, laid over the top and bottom of the picture. The outline keeps it readable on any background.
- Caption and Two bars
- A plain band above the picture — or above and below — with dark sentence-case text on it, the style common on social feeds. The picture itself stays uncovered; change the band's height and colour to suit.
- Poster
- The motivational-poster look: the picture inside a thin rule on a black frame, with a large serif title and a smaller line beneath it.
Text that fits
Long captions wrap inside the text box rather than running off the edge, and every size is a share of the picture's width, so the meme you see is exactly the meme you download, at the picture's full resolution.
Impact, Arial Black and Comic Sans are drawn with the fonts installed on your device. Where Impact is missing — on many Android phones and Linux desktops — Anton, the closest open font, is loaded in its place; for the others the nearest bold font stands in.
Your pictures stay yours
There is no gallery of stock meme pictures: you caption your own images, and nothing leaves your device. There is no account, no upload and no watermark.
To size the finished meme for a platform, send it to the social media image resizer; to combine several images in one, use the collage maker.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the meme generator add a watermark?
- No. The image you download has only the text you wrote on it.
- What font do memes use?
- The classic meme font is Impact: white, uppercase, with a black outline. It is the default here, and you can switch to Arial Black, Comic Sans, a plain sans-serif or a serif.
- Can I add more than two lines of text?
- Yes. Add up to twelve text boxes — or duplicate one you have already styled — drag each one where you want it, and style each separately, including its rotation and an outline, shadow or label behind it.
- How do I put the caption above the picture instead of on it?
- Choose the Caption template for a bar above the picture, or Two bars for one above and one below. The first text box moves into the bar and switches to dark text without an outline; the bar's height and colour are adjustable.
- Can I copy the meme without downloading it?
- Yes. Copy puts the meme on your clipboard as a PNG, ready to paste into a chat or a post.
- Can I undo a change?
- Yes. Undo and Redo are in the toolbar, and Ctrl/⌘ + Z works too while you are not typing in a text box.
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. The meme is drawn in your browser and the image never leaves your device.
