Orange Elephant Meme

The process of creating a meme in the meme generator takes a couple of minutes. Of course, if you have an idea for a meme, text and pictures. If you want to, but don’t have an idea yet, then look at the memes created by members of our community on the site. This will give you a creative boost and help you decide on an idea. And templates of pictures and stickers for implementing the idea can be found in the corresponding sections of the site.

Pay attention to the memes that received the most hearts and likes. Try to understand the reason for the success of these memes. What is their emotional appeal? Maybe the topic of the meme is trending now? Or is the reason for the success a bright picture with a laconic and humorous text? Or maybe because the meme turned out to be ugly? It happens!

Creating a meme in the generator

Picture of the meme's foundation

The base picture of the meme (the main picture). As a rule, this is the largest picture to which stickers, other pictures and text are then added.

After adding the main image to the meme generator, it becomes unavailable for further editing, i.e. it will not be possible to change its position and size.

If the meme does not have a main picture and it will consist of, for example, two, three or four pictures, then in this case you can not upload the main picture, but immediately use stickers. Or upload a picture with a single-color background to which you can then add stickers.

To create a meme, you will need an emotional picture. You can upload your own picture or find a suitable picture in the templates.

Add meme text

Add text. By default, one text block is created, which is ready for use. If you make a mistake in the text, delete the text up to the place with the mistake, and then re-enter the text.

Change the text color and font. To add a shadow, select Shadow, specify the stroke size and color. Align the text to the center, left or right.
