Export without a watermark
Other editors stamp a watermark on the picture or lock the download behind a signup. This one hands back a plain PNG, full size.
Open the editor →Meme Editor
Open an image from your device, add as many text boxes as you like, drag them into place, and download the result as a PNG.
This editor runs entirely in your browser. Your image is processed on this device and is never uploaded to any server. There is no watermark, no account and no limit on exports. The tool holds no images of its own: open one from your device to begin.
Reset clears the loaded image and all text boxes so you can start over. It is always available, even before an image is loaded.
Is this lawful? UK copyright and parody
UK copyright law has carried an exception for caricature, parody and pastiche since October 2014, at section 30A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
The exception only helps where the use is fair dealing. That weighs what was taken, why, how much, and what it does to the original.
The exception governs copyright, not platforms: a post the law would protect can still be taken down by a complaint or an automated match.
This is general information, not advice on your own situation.
Three fixes most editors skip
A watermark, an illegible caption or the wrong shape can spoil a meme once the joke is already right. These three checks catch each before you post.
Catch captions that vanish small
A caption that reads fine full screen can vanish at thumbnail size. This shows the meme that small and flags text that won't stand out.
Check your captions →Fit a platform's aspect ratio
Every platform crops or pads an image to its own shape, and a caption can get cut. This shows what gets cut before you post.

Does parody protect your meme?
Copyright law has protected caricature, parody and pastiche since October 2014, under section 30A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
Read what it covers →Using a real person's photo
Putting a colleague's face in a meme touches copyright, data protection, defamation and passing off, and each one is judged by its own test.

An automated copyright claim is not the same as a legal complaint, and each one calls for a different response from you.
Read what to do next →What this site actually is
Making a meme takes a few minutes. Working out whether you can actually post it can take longer, and the two problems don't usually get solved on the same page anywhere else.
Create a meme or read the legal guides
The meme editor
The meme editor is for the picture. You open a picture from your own device, type words onto it, and add as many separate boxes of text as you need, dragging each one wherever it belongs. Colour, size, the whole look of the words can be changed to suit, and if you'd rather skip all that there's a one-click button for the classic look, words along the top and along the bottom. It works by finger on a phone just as well as it works by mouse on a computer, and when you're happy with it you save the picture straight back to your device, at the same size it came in. Whichever app you're posting to, whoever's name it's going under, that part stays the same. And here's the part that matters most: your picture never leaves your own device.
The legal guides
The legal guides are for the question that comes after, once the image exists and you're deciding whether to post it under your own account or an organisation's. They cover what UK copyright law says about parody, about using a photograph of someone else, about logos and trade marks, and about what actually happens when a platform takes a post down.
What counts as general information here
Each guide names the statutory provision it's describing, such as the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, points to where that provision is published on legislation.gov.uk or GOV.UK, and states what it does and what it doesn't cover. Where a guide draws on how the Intellectual Property Office or the Information Commissioner's Office describes a rule in practice, that source is named too, along with the date it was read.
None of that amounts to advice on your own situation. The guides set out what the law says. Whether it applies to a specific meme, a specific photograph or a specific account depends on facts only you have, and that judgement is one for a solicitor, not a web page.
