The caption format that became the meme standard, bold white capitals with a black outline at the top and bottom of the picture, is popular because it works on anything: light skies, dark rooms, busy screenshots. This page puts that text on any image you drop in. Type a top line, a bottom line or just one of them, and download the finished picture with no watermark and no logo in the corner.
The text is scaled to the image so a phone photo and a 4K screenshot get proportionate lettering, and the outline keeps it readable whether it lands on a white wall or a black background. Because the image is edited in your browser and not uploaded, a photo of a friend or a screenshot of a private group chat stays private until you decide to post it.
It is deliberately narrow: the classic top-and-bottom layout, done properly, with no font menu, stickers or layers. If the joke needs text sitting behind a person, the Text Behind Photo tool on this site is the one to use, and for anything more elaborate an image editor is still the right tool. For the 95 per cent of memes that are a picture and two lines, that narrowness is the point: no account, no watermark to crop off.

Frequently asked questions
- Is there really no watermark?
- Correct — your meme downloads clean, with only the text you added. Nothing is stamped on it.
- Can I put text in the middle too?
- Yes — you're not limited to top and bottom; place captions wherever they land best on the image.
- What image size works best for a meme?
- Anything from a phone screenshot up to a full photo works, since the text scales with the image. Around 1000 to 1500 pixels wide is plenty for Reddit, Discord and group chats, and keeps the file small.
- Can I make a meme with only a bottom caption?
- Yes. Leave the top line empty and only the bottom text is drawn, which suits reaction images and screenshots where the top of the picture matters.
