Meme generator with captions and GIF memes

An online tool for making memes out of your own pictures: eight formats — classic top and bottom captions, a caption bar above the frame, a demotivator in a black passe-partout, "2 panels" and "4 panels" storyboards, a quote card, a speech bubble and text on a plain background. Text is fitted to the frame automatically and never runs off the edge, and the font is checked against your alphabet: if it lacks the letters of your alphabet the tool says so and substitutes a similar one instead of silently drawing tofu. The finished meme copies straight to the clipboard — paste it into a chat without saving a file — and an animated GIF becomes an animated meme. Every frame is addressable: click an empty one and the picture you pick lands exactly there, and inside a frame the picture is moved and zoomed by hand.

How to make a meme

4 steps
1
Upload a picture

Drop a file, pick one from the gallery or paste an image from the clipboard. For "2 panels" and "4 panels" take several at once.

2
Choose a format

Classic captions over the frame, a caption bar on top, a demotivator, a storyboard, a quote card, a speech bubble or text on a plain background.

3
Write the text

Fill in the fields for the format — the size sorts itself out. An empty frame asks for a picture: click it and the file you pick lands exactly there.

4
Paste the meme into a chat or save it

Press "Copy" to paste the meme into a chat, or download PNG, JPG or WebP. A GIF comes out as an animated meme.

Gestures and shortcuts
Type into the fields — the text is fitted to the frame and never runs off the edge. Drag inside a picture to move it, scroll or pinch to zoom, double-click to fit it to the subject. An empty frame is a target: click it and the picture you pick lands there. Captions drag, rotate and stretch by the corners; the arrow keys nudge by pixels, R rotates a picture, Delete clears the selection, Ctrl+Z undoes.

My templates
A template remembers the look: format, font, colors, outline and effect. It never touches the picture or the words — those you change every time.

Features

A meme font that looks the same everywhere
The classic meme typeface is missing on many devices — Android has none — and its popular lookalikes skip whole alphabets. This one is self-hosted: it looks the same on a phone and a desktop and covers accented Latin as well as Cyrillic.
Text cannot leave the frame
The size is chosen by measuring the real line layout: a long phrase shrinks and wraps instead of sliding past the edge. A word longer than the frame is broken by character.
Eight formats, not "two captions"
The demotivator is built with a real passe-partout and a white rule, the caption bar grows with the text, "2 panels" and "4 panels" take different pictures each with its own label, the quote card gets its own scrim, and "Text only" sets one caption in the middle of a plain background.
GIF memes from a GIF
The animation is split into frames, the caption is drawn on each one through the same scene builder, and the file is assembled back into a GIF — so the caption does not jitter or drift. If the browser cannot split frames, the tool says so up front.
One-button copy into a chat
The meme goes straight to the clipboard: in Telegram or Discord you can just paste it. The download name is made from the caption, so a folder does not fill up with ten identical `meme.png` files.
Every frame and every caption is yours
Drag a picture inside its frame, zoom it with the wheel or two fingers, or let a double-click frame it on the faces. Captions move, tilt and change size wherever you put them, another picture or an emoji can be laid on top as a sticker, and B&W, vintage, noir or deep-fried are one click away. The sticker's own background can be cut away in one click, so a face becomes a face and not a rectangle with someone's kitchen around it. And you can draw on the meme by hand — brush, colors, an eraser that takes back only the ink — for the circle round the thing everyone is supposed to look at.

Questions and answers

Which font is used, and will it handle my language?

By default a heavy condensed face close to the classic meme typeface, hosted by us so it looks the same on every device — the original is not installed on Android at all. It covers accented Latin and Cyrillic. If you pick a font that lacks the letters of your alphabet, the tool marks it and draws the caption in a similar font that has them, instead of silently mixing typefaces.

Are there ready-made templates with well-known pictures?

No, deliberately: we do not host other people's photographs and film stills. The base of the meme is your own picture — a file, a phone shot, a clipboard paste or a GIF.

Can I make an animated meme from a GIF?

Yes. Upload a GIF: it is split into frames, the caption is drawn on each one and the file is assembled back into an animation. In browsers that cannot split GIF frames (Safari, for instance) the tool warns you that the result will be a still image.

What is a demotivator and how is it different from a normal meme?

It is a format with a black field around the picture, a thin white rule and the caption below the frame: a large title and a small subtitle. Here it is assembled exactly that way, rather than as text laid over a photo.

How do I turn a meme into a Telegram sticker?

Press "Sticker 512×512": you get a PNG exactly 512 pixels on its long side with transparent margins — the size the @Stickers bot accepts. If the file comes out heavier than 512 KB, the tool warns you; a simpler picture or a plain background brings it down.

Why does the text shrink by itself?

Because the size is fitted to the frame by measuring the real line layout: a long phrase wraps and shrinks so that it stays inside the picture. That is exactly where ordinary generators clip the caption instead.

How do I get the meme into a conversation quickly?

The "Copy" button puts the picture in the clipboard — in Telegram, Discord or WhatsApp just press paste, no file needed.

Can I add an emoji or circle something on the meme?

Yes. "+ Emoji" lays 😂, 💀, 🔥 and others over the meme as a separate sticker that you can drag, enlarge and tilt. The "Draw" mode gives you a brush with colors and an eraser that takes back only the ink, never the photo underneath.

Can I stick a face onto another picture and cut its background off?

Yes. “Sticker” puts a second picture over the composition — drag it, tilt it, resize it, set how solid it is — and “Cut out” removes its background so only the subject stays. That runs in your browser on the same matting model our video background remover uses; if it cannot load, the picture is left exactly as it was and the tool says so.
