How to make one

  • Open Meme Generator and add a picture.
  • Type the top and bottom text.
  • Adjust the text size and choose if the text uses capital letters.
  • Download the image and share it.

What makes a meme work

  • Keep the text short. One line per side is best.
  • Use a picture people already recognise.
  • Make the joke clear within two seconds.
  • Make sure the text is readable on a phone.

Be kind and careful

Do not use photos of private people without permission, and avoid text that hurts or targets others. Images you do not own may be protected by copyright, so use your own photos when you plan to post publicly.
