Make custom memes with top text, bottom text or free captions

This meme generator turns your own photo, screenshot, illustration or reaction image into a downloadable meme. Start with the classic top-and-bottom format, add extra caption layers, drag text anywhere, create white caption panels or poster layouts, and control the image crop and typography without installing design software.

Classic top and bottom meme text

Begin with separate uppercase captions using bold white text and a black outline, then customize or replace every setting.

Up to eight text layers

Add, duplicate, reorder and remove independent captions for labels, dialogue, reactions, punchlines and annotations.

Drag text directly on the image

Select a caption on the preview and move it with touch, mouse or keyboard arrow keys.

Automatic caption fitting

Long text is wrapped and reduced to fit the selected width and maximum line count while preserving readable proportions.

Image crop and social sizes

Keep the original image ratio or use square, portrait, Story, landscape, presentation and custom canvases.

Local PNG, JPG and WebP export

Render the finished image in the browser at standard or high resolution and download it with no page-specific watermark.

How to make a meme online

Follow the same sequence shown in the editor to add captions, style them and save the finished image.

Add a meme imageChoose, drag or paste a genuine PNG, JPG or WebP image, or load the built-in sample to test the editor immediately.
Choose the canvas and cropKeep the original dimensions or choose a social preset, then use Cover or Contain and adjust image zoom, position, rotation and colour.
Write and arrange captionsEdit the default top and bottom captions, add more text layers, choose position presets or drag selected text directly on the preview.

Export the finished memeReview the live canvas, choose PNG, JPG or supported WebP, set quality and resolution, then download or copy the finished image.

Add readable meme text to any image

Use a high-contrast outline

White text with a black outline remains readable across mixed light and dark image areas. Increase outline thickness for large captions or busy photographs.

Keep the punchline concise

Short captions are easier to scan and share. Automatic fitting helps with longer text, but reducing unnecessary words usually creates a stronger result.

Choose the right width and line count

A wide top caption can often fit in one or two lines. Narrow labels, dialogue and side notes may need additional wrapped lines.

Use panels when the image is crowded

Top, bottom and double caption panels create a clear text area without covering important faces, products or screenshot content.

Meme layouts for classic captions, panels and posters

Layout	Best use	How it behaves
Text over image	Classic reaction memes and familiar top/bottom captions.	The image fills the complete canvas and captions sit over it.
Top caption panel	Screenshot context, setup text and headlines.	A separate band appears above the image area.
Bottom caption panel	Punchlines, explanations and editorial captions.	A separate band appears below the image area.
Top and bottom panels	Question-and-answer, comparison and dialogue formats.	The image is placed between two independent caption areas.
Poster frame	Demotivational-style, cinematic and formal meme designs.	The image receives an outer frame and a larger lower caption area.

Meme sizes for social posts, Stories and presentations

Original image dimensions

Preserve the decoded image width and height for the closest match to the source file.

Square meme

The 1080 by 1080 preset works well for balanced feeds, profile posts and general sharing.

Portrait meme

The 1080 by 1350 preset provides more vertical room for mobile feeds and stacked captions.

Story meme

The 1080 by 1920 preset creates a full-height vertical canvas for Story and status formats.

Landscape meme

The 1200 by 675 preset suits wide reaction images, article graphics and landscape posts.

Presentation meme

The 1920 by 1080 preset fits widescreen slides, monitor displays and video thumbnails.

Download memes as PNG, JPG or WebP

PNG for sharp text and transparency

PNG preserves transparent backgrounds and crisp caption edges, making it useful for screenshots, logos and graphic-heavy memes.

JPG for photographic memes

JPG usually creates a smaller file for photographs and supports adjustable quality, but it always uses an opaque background.

WebP where supported

WebP can combine efficient photographic compression with transparency, depending on the current browser’s encoding support.

High-resolution export

Two-times export doubles both dimensions and uses four times the pixels, so large projects may require standard resolution on lower-memory devices.

Private browser-based meme creation

The source image stays in the current editor

No page-specific upload or rendering endpoint receives the selected file. Image decoding, captions and export happen in the browser.

Caption text is not stored

The tool does not save your image, filename or meme text. Only non-content preferences may be remembered.

Temporary resources are released

The source image reference is revoked when it is replaced, removed, reset or the page is closed. Download references are also released after use.

New output normally excludes metadata

The meme is newly rendered and encoded, so original camera location and most source-image metadata are normally absent.

Meme maker limitations and troubleshooting

Text does not fit

Enable automatic sizing, increase caption width, allow more lines or shorten the text.

Important image content is cropped

Switch Cover to Contain, reduce zoom or change the horizontal and vertical image position.

A font looks different on another device

The editor uses system font stacks, so exact glyph shape and spacing can vary by operating system and browser.

A large export fails

Choose one-times resolution, reduce canvas dimensions or close other memory-intensive browser tabs.

Transparent areas become solid

Choose PNG or supported WebP. JPG always uses the selected canvas background colour.

Clipboard copy is blocked

Use Download Meme or Quick PNG. Direct image copying requires browser support, a secure page and permission.

Frequently asked questions about making memes

Answers about top and bottom captions, custom text boxes, fonts, panels, image crops, social sizes, transparent backgrounds, downloads, privacy and mobile use.

What does this meme generator do?

It adds customizable text layers to a PNG, JPG or WebP image. You can create classic top-and-bottom memes, caption panels, poster-style memes or freely positioned text, then export one finished image.

Can I upload my own image?

Yes. Choose, drag or paste a genuine PNG, JPG or WebP file. The image is validated and decoded in the current browser session.

Can I create a top text and bottom text meme?

Yes. The editor starts with separate top and bottom caption layers. Edit either caption, reposition it, change its style or add more text layers.

Can I move text anywhere on the image?

Yes. Select a text layer and drag it directly on the preview, use the X and Y controls or choose Top, Middle, Bottom or Free Position.

Can I add more than two text boxes?

Yes. Add up to eight independent text layers. Each layer keeps its own content, position, width, font, colour, outline, shadow, background and rotation.

Can I change the meme font?

Yes. Choose from several widely available system font stacks, including heavy condensed, sans-serif, serif, rounded and monospaced styles. Exact appearance can vary by operating system.

Can the text size adjust automatically?

Yes. Automatic text sizing reduces the font until the caption fits its selected width and maximum line count. You can disable it and choose a fixed size.

Can I make white text with a black outline?

Yes. The default classic style uses white uppercase text with a black outline. Both colours and outline thickness are adjustable.

Can I add a text background box?

Yes. Enable the caption box for the selected layer, then choose its colour, opacity and padding.

Can I add a text shadow?

Yes. Enable shadow and adjust its colour, blur and horizontal or vertical offset for the selected caption.

Can I rotate meme text?

Yes. Every text layer can be rotated independently from minus 180 to plus 180 degrees.

Can I use lowercase text?

Yes. Uppercase conversion is enabled for the default classic captions but can be disabled independently for each text layer.

Can I create a meme with a white caption panel?

Yes. Choose a top panel, bottom panel or both panels, then place caption layers inside those areas and set the panel colour.

What is poster mode?

Poster mode places the image inside a framed canvas with an expanded lower caption area. It is useful for demotivational-style or editorial meme layouts.

Can I preserve the original image aspect ratio?

Yes. The Original Image preset uses the decoded image dimensions. Cover and Contain both preserve image proportions; Cover may crop edges while Contain may leave background space.

Can I crop or reposition the image?

Yes. Adjust image zoom and horizontal or vertical position. Cover fills the image area without distortion, while Contain shows the complete image.

Can I rotate or flip the image?

Yes. The source image can be rotated and flipped horizontally or vertically without changing the caption layers.

Can I adjust image brightness and colour?

Yes. The tool includes brightness, contrast, saturation and grayscale controls for the source image.

Can I create a square social media meme?

Yes. Choose the 1080 by 1080 square preset, or use portrait, Story, landscape, presentation or custom dimensions.

Which image formats can I upload?

The tool accepts genuine PNG, JPEG and WebP images. It checks the file signature before decoding and rejects empty, unsupported or unreadable files.

Which download formats are available?

PNG and JPG are available. WebP appears when the current browser confirms that it can encode a WebP image.

Which format is best for a meme?

JPG is usually compact for photographic memes. PNG is useful for transparency, screenshots and sharp text. WebP can offer efficient size and quality when supported.

Can the meme background be transparent?

Yes when exporting PNG or supported WebP. JPG does not support transparency and uses the selected canvas background colour.

Can I export a high-resolution meme?

Yes. Choose one-times or two-times resolution. Very large dimensions are blocked when they would exceed practical browser canvas and memory limits.

Can I copy the meme directly to the clipboard?

Yes where the browser supports image clipboard writing and grants access. Download PNG remains available when direct copying is blocked.

Does this meme maker add a watermark?

No page-specific watermark is added to the generated image. The downloaded filename begins with correctioncopy.com_ as part of the site output naming convention.

Does the tool upload my image?

No page-specific upload or processing endpoint receives the image. Decoding, editing, rendering and export occur in the current browser session.

Does the tool store my image or captions?

No. Image pixels, filenames and caption text are not stored by the tool. Only non-content preferences such as export format and general canvas choices may be remembered.

Does the exported meme keep camera metadata?

The result is newly rendered and encoded, so original camera location and most source metadata are normally not included.

Does the meme generator work on phones and tablets?

Yes in current mobile browsers that support file selection and image decoding. Large images, many text layers and high-resolution exports can require substantial memory.

Why did my image fail to load?

The image may be empty, corrupted, unsupported, mislabeled or too large. Save a standard PNG, JPG or WebP copy below the practical limits and try again.

How do I reset the meme generator?

Choose Reset Tool to remove the source image, restore the default captions and settings, clear the output state and release temporary image resources.
