Add classic top and bottom captions to any image and download your meme. Runs entirely in your browser.
This meme generator adds the classic bold top-and-bottom caption style (white Impact text with a black outline) to any image. Type your captions, adjust the size, and download — with no watermark and no upload.
Memes are a fast way to share a joke or reaction. Keep captions short and punchy; the top line usually sets up the situation and the bottom line delivers the punchline.
Is there a watermark on my meme?
No. ImgScale never adds a watermark to your downloads.
Can I use my own image?
Yes — upload any image and add captions. Make sure you have the right to use the image you choose.
The traditional meme format places bold white text with a black outline at the top and bottom of an image — a style that dates back to early image-macro culture and remains instantly recognizable. The top line usually sets up a situation and the bottom line delivers the punchline. The heavy outline (Impact font with a black stroke) exists for a practical reason: it keeps the text readable over any background, whether the image behind it is light, dark, or busy.
Keep captions short — a meme is read in a second, so every extra word weakens it. Put the setup on top and the twist on the bottom so the joke resolves as the eye travels down. Match the text to the image's emotion; the humor comes from the contrast or alignment between what's written and what's shown. And because the text is burned into the downloaded image, your meme looks identical everywhere it's posted, with no app or font dependency on the viewer's side.
Is the meme generator free?
Yes — completely free, no watermark, no signup. The caption is rendered into your image right in the browser.
Can I use my own image?
Yes. Drop in any photo or screenshot and add captions — you're not limited to preset templates.
Does it add a watermark?
No. Your downloaded meme contains only your image and text, with no branding added.
Are images uploaded to a server?
No. The meme is created in your browser and your image is never uploaded.
The classic meme format puts a setup line on top and a punchline on the bottom in bold white text with a dark outline so it stays readable on any background. Keep text short and punchy — memes work best when the words can be read in a glance. No account or upload is needed; everything happens locally.
