How to Make a Meme (That People Actually Share)

The classic meme format – bold white text with a black outline above and below a picture – still works because it’s instantly readable.

Make it

Open the Meme Generator, upload an image and type the top and bottom text. Text wraps automatically and uses the classic Impact-style look. Download the JPG – no watermark.

What makes it shareable

One idea, under ten words per line, a relatable setup on top and the punchline on the bottom. Brands do best with memes about their customers' everyday frustrations, not about the brand itself.

Size for each platform

Square (1080 ร— 1080) works almost everywhere. For Instagram stories and TikTok, place the meme on a 1080 ร— 1920 background.

Copyright basics

Popular meme templates are widely shared, but businesses using film stills or celebrity photos in ads can face takedowns. Your own photos are safest.
