Meme-making tips
The classic meme formula is setup on top, punchline on the bottom — two short lines beat a paragraph every time. ALL CAPS in a heavy font with a thick outline is the traditional look because it stays readable over any background, which is exactly what this generator renders. Timing matters more than polish: memes referencing something from this week outperform timeless jokes ten to one. Keep the image square-ish for feeds, and avoid covering faces with text — the top and bottom bands exist for a reason. Finally, check before you post: using someone else's photo as a meme can be fine among friends but risky for brands, so stick to your own images or clearly licensed ones for anything public.

Why is the text outlined?
The heavy black outline is the classic meme style — it keeps white text readable over any background.
