Tips for Best Results
Use Impact for classic memes
Impact with white fill and black outline is the traditional meme look. It is the default font and works on almost any image.
Keep text short and punchy
The best memes use short, direct text. One line on top and one on the bottom is the classic format.
Use outline for readability
A thick black outline (width 4-6) makes text readable on any background, even busy photos.
Try shadow for extra pop
Enable shadow on text boxes that sit over bright or low-contrast areas. It adds depth without covering the image.
Drag text to find the sweet spot
Click and drag text directly on the canvas. Positioning text away from faces or key details makes the meme cleaner.
Use filters to set the mood
Try grayscale or sepia for a retro look. Boost brightness for dark photos. Blur the background slightly to make text stand out.
Export as JPEG to reduce file size
Switch to JPEG and lower the quality slider for smaller files that load faster on social media.
Use uppercase for classic style
Uppercase is on by default for the traditional meme look. Turn it off for a more casual tone.
Add multiple text boxes for complex memes
Use + Add Text to create extra captions anywhere on the image. Each box has its own style settings.
