Make a Meme from an Image
The meme generator takes a photo you upload and adds a caption across the top and bottom in the classic white-on-black meme style. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
You upload the image, type your text, and the tool draws it directly onto the picture in your browser before handing you a finished PNG to download.
What you get:
- A caption added to the top, the bottom, or both, in Impact font with a black outline
- no watermark on any recording or export
- no account required, so there is no account to create first
- A PNG you can save and post anywhere images are accepted
- Support for JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP and other image formats
How to Make a Meme
- Upload the image: Drop in a photo, screenshot, or template (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP and other image formats).
- Type the caption: Enter top text, bottom text, or both. The tool sets the type in Impact font, sized to fit the image, with a black outline so it reads over any background.
- Download it: The finished PNG is ready to save and share right away.
A sharp, well-lit source photo makes for a clearer meme than a blurry or heavily compressed one, since the text sits directly on the image.

- vs Imgflip: Imgflip’s meme generator stamps memes with an imgflip.com watermark unless you pay $11.95 a month billed annually for Pro, though it does let you create anonymously without an account. ScreenApp never adds a watermark, at any price.
- vs Adobe Express: Adobe Express exports memes as PNG, GIF, or MP4, including a video option ScreenApp’s meme generator does not offer. ScreenApp’s tool sticks to a single job: caption a photo and download the PNG, with no watermark.
- vs Canva: Canva’s meme maker adds No watermark on exports made with free elements, but making a meme in the editor points you toward creating an account first. ScreenApp needs no account at all.
