Meme Generator

A meme is a picture plus a caption that lands. This generator writes your text onto your own image in the two styles everyone recognises: the classic white Impact letters with a black outline at the top and bottom, or the modern white caption bar above the picture. Long captions wrap and shrink automatically, and everything happens in your browser.

How to use this tool

1. Choose your picture — a photo you took or one you have the right to use.
2. Type the top text, the bottom text, or both; add a middle line if you need one.
3. Pick the classic or modern style and adjust the text size, outline and colour.
4. Download the meme as JPG (smaller) or PNG (crisper text).

Formula

Starting text size = size % × image width; while the caption needs more than 3 lines (4 in a modern bar), size × 0.9

Lines wrap at 92% of the image width, breaking between words (and between characters for long runs without spaces, as in Korean or Chinese). The classic outline is drawn first with rounded joins and a width of 2 × outline % × text size, so the white letters stay full-size on top. In the modern style the bar height is lines × 1.2 × text size plus 1.2 × text size of padding.

Example

On a 900 × 600 px photo the default 10% gives 90 px Impact letters. “WHEN THE CODE WORKS” is wider than 92% of the width (828 px) at that size, so it wraps onto two lines — WHEN THE CODE / WORKS — while “ON THE FIRST TRY” fits on one. Because the text size and the line width both scale with the picture, the same captions wrap the same way on a 4000 px photo.
