Frequently asked questions

Is my picture uploaded?

No. Your photos are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Is there a watermark?

No. The meme you download has only your picture and your text.

Can I move the text?

Yes. Drag any text on the picture, or add more text boxes with the button.

Why doesn't it look like the usual Impact font?

The fonts come from your own device. Impact style is used when you have it, which most Windows and Mac computers do, and a similar bold font is used if not.

Can I use any picture?

You can use any file, but you should have the right to share it. Pictures of other people and work by other creators may have rules.
