    Most memes shared today are not the old style with thick outlined letters. They are a photo with a white bar on top and a sentence in plain black text, the look that started as screenshots of posts. This maker builds that layout in a few seconds, and five others.

    Add one or two photos, type the text and pick a layout: white bar on top, white bar below, black bar, classic outlined text on the photo, two stacked photos or two side by side panels with a label each. The bar grows with your text, so nothing is cut off. The meme is drawn in your browser, your photos are never uploaded, and there is no watermark.

    The white bar meme format

    The white bar format puts the joke in a caption above the picture, in ordinary sentence case, usually left aligned. It reads like a post, which is why it works for "Me:" and "Nobody:" jokes, reaction photos and relatable captions. Use the Inter or Montserrat font for that look.

    The black bar layout is the same idea with white text on black, often used for definitions and dramatic statements. Keep the text to one or two short sentences. A reader should get it in the time it takes to scroll past.

    Classic, two photo and two panel memes

    The classic layout writes the top and bottom text straight on the photo in capital letters with a black outline. Choose the Anton font for the familiar look. It suits photos with a clear subject and empty space at the top and bottom.

    Two stacked photos work for "expectation and reality" and "before and after" jokes. Two panels side by side, each with its own label, work for comparisons: what I ordered and what arrived, Monday me and Friday me.

    Posting memes on Pinterest and elsewhere

    Square and 4:5 shapes suit Instagram and Facebook feeds. The 2:3 shape matches a standard Pinterest pin, where funny and relatable images are saved to humor boards. Use your own photos or images you have the right to use.

      Meme Maker FAQ

      How do I make a meme with a white background and text on top?

      Add a photo, choose the layout "White bar on top" and type your text. The white bar sits above the photo and grows to fit the text.

      Does the meme have a watermark?

      No. The download contains only your photo and your text. The tool is free and needs no account.

      Can I make a meme with two pictures?

      Yes. Add two photos and choose "Two photos stacked" or "Two panels side by side". The panel layout puts a label under each picture.

      Which font do memes use?

      Classic image memes use Impact, a tall, heavy font. Anton, in the font list, is very close. White bar memes use a plain sans serif font such as Inter.

      Are my photos uploaded?

      No. The meme is drawn on a canvas inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

      What size is the meme?

      It is 1080 pixels wide. The height follows the photo and the text, or the shape you choose: square, 4:5 or 2:3.
