How to make a meme
The classic meme format is simple: a picture, a setup line on top and a punchline on the bottom, in bold white capitals with a black outline. Meme Maker builds exactly that in your browser, from your own image or a blank canvas, with no watermark.
The classic meme style
Text is set in Impact, all capitals, with a white fill and black outline so it stays readable on any photo. You can change the font size and outline (stroke) width, and move the top and bottom lines with the position sliders if they cover something important.
Tips for a better meme
What makes memes land:
- Keep each line short. Around six words reads at a glance.
- Use a clear, expressive image: faces and reactions work best.
- Put the setup on top and the payoff on the bottom.
- Download as JPG for chat apps and social feeds where small files load fastest.
Private
Your image is processed in your browser and never uploaded. Want free-form captions or several text boxes instead? Use Add Text to Image.
Sizes that work well
Square images (1:1) and 4:5 portraits fill the most space in social feeds, while 16:9 suits chats and presentations. If your picture is an awkward shape, crop it first with Crop Image. Large text with a thick outline stays readable even when the meme is shown as a small thumbnail.
