How to use the Meme Generator

Start with the built-in one-post-versus-thirty-posts design or upload your own picture. The editor gives your setup and punchline separate fields, with a classic outlined caption or a clean panel layout.

  1. 1

    Choose the visual

    Upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image, or keep the built-in design and choose its color.

  2. 2

    Write the setup and payoff

    Enter the top and bottom text. Choose a layout, adjust the text size, and decide whether uppercase suits the joke.

  3. 3

    Check and export

    Read the whole image at phone size, then download the PNG. Add an accessible description when sharing it.

Example approach

Top: ME: I'LL JUST MAKE ONE POST Bottom: ALSO ME: PLANS THE WHOLE MONTH

Tips for a better result

  • A short setup and a specific payoff usually read better than two long paragraphs.
  • Keep faces and important details away from the caption areas. Your image is center-cropped to fit.
  • Use the caption-panel layout when an image is too busy for text to sit on top.

Use images you have permission to share. Long captions become smaller to fit; shorten the wording if it is difficult to read.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own meme image?

Yes. Choose a local PNG, JPEG, or WebP up to 20 MB. The editor center-crops it to the selected layout; check the preview before downloading.

Do I need a photo to make a meme?

No. A built-in graphic is ready to use. Edit its two captions and template color to create a text-led meme.

Can I move or resize the text?

The captions stay at the top and bottom. You can change their size, toggle uppercase, and switch between overlay text and separate caption panels. This is a focused meme editor, not a free-position design canvas.

What size is the downloaded meme?

The export is a 1080 × 1080 PNG. Its text and crop match the preview, and it has no added Caroush watermark.

Is the Meme Generator free?

Yes. Use the editor and its available exports without a subscription or account. It runs in your browser; paid Caroush workspace features are separate.

Are my inputs sent to a generation service?

No. This tool processes its text and any selected images in your browser. It does not send those inputs to an AI generation service or social account. Your work is not saved after a page reload, so export the result before leaving.
