- Does my image upload anywhere?
- No. The image you drop in stays in your browser tab. Decoding, rendering, and PNG export all run on your machine via canvas and html2canvas. Close the tab and the image is gone. Watch your browser's network panel — no outbound request when you generate the meme.
- Why aren't the famous meme templates included?
- Most of the classic templates (the one with the guy looking back, the cartoon dog, the cat with the lasagna, the squinting baby) come from photographs or screenshots that someone owns. Putting them in a tool we ship to everyone would mean either getting licenses for each one or pretending the licensing isn't a thing. We did neither — we drew six generic scenes inline so the templates are ours to ship. If you want a specific template, drop in the image yourself.
- Is there a watermark on the download?
- No. The exported PNG is exactly what you see in the preview — your image with your captions, nothing else. No Microapp logo, no "Made with…" footer.
- Why does the file say meme-when-the-build-passes.png?
- The download name is built from the first three words of your top text, lowercased and dashed, with a meme- prefix. Three memes from three captions land in Downloads with three different, scannable names. If the top text is empty, the file is named meme.png.
- What font does it use?
- Impact — the meme convention since the mid-2000s. We list it first in the CSS stack with Anton, Oswald, and Arial Black as fallbacks. Most desktops have Impact installed (Windows and macOS both ship with it); some Linux and Android browsers will fall through to one of the alternates. The look is white text with a heavy black stroke, all caps, slightly condensed — same as the originals.
- Can I make a meme with text that's not top + bottom?
- Not in this version — top and bottom are the canonical positions and the 30-second build path. If you need text in the middle, on a specific spot, or with a different alignment, an image editor is the right tool. We may add a free-position mode later.
- How big can my image be?
- Up to 20 MB. That covers most photos and screenshots. If your file is larger, run it through our Image Compressor first — most photos compress to under 2 MB without visible quality loss.
- Does it work on phones?
- Yes. Same widget, same code, same browser-only rendering. Phone uploads work via the system file picker; the sliders and preview adapt to the narrower screen.
