How to make a meme
- Choose a picture from your device.
- Type the top and bottom text and adjust the size and color.
- Download the meme and share it.
The classic meme style
The familiar look is bold Impact capitals in white with a thick black outline, so the text stays readable on any photo. Setup goes at the top and the punchline at the bottom.
Making memes that work
Keep each line short, under about ten words, and let the picture do half the joke. Crop the photo first so the subject fills the frame, and use the size slider so long text stays on two lines or fewer.
Sharing and copyright
Many memes reuse film stills or other people's photos. Using your own pictures is safest; for commercial posts, avoid images and faces you don't have rights to.
Frequently asked questions
Which font do memes use?
Classic memes use Impact in white with a black outline. The generator uses Impact where available and a similar bold font elsewhere.

No. The downloaded image is only your picture and text.
Can I use famous meme templates?
Many templates come from films and photos owned by others. Upload images you are allowed to use, such as your own photos.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Choose a photo from your gallery and download the meme to your phone.
