This free meme generator lets you create custom memes directly in your browser without uploading a single byte to any server. Unlike popular meme generators such as Imgflip, Kapwing, or Canva, this tool is 100% client-side — your images and text are processed entirely on your device using the HTML5 Canvas API. There is no account creation, no login, no watermark, no ads, and no data collection beyond basic page-view analytics. Features include top, middle, and bottom text, adjustable Y-position for each text layer, 11 fonts including Bangers and Impact, bold & italic, text alignment, text background box, image brightness/contrast/saturation, flip horizontal/vertical, and PNG and JPEG export. One of 122+ free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com.
This is a fully client-side application. When you upload an image, it is loaded directly into your browser’s memory using the JavaScript FileReader API and rendered onto an HTML5 Canvas element. No image data is ever transmitted to any server — not ours, not a CDN, not a cloud processing service. The entire meme creation process — from image loading to text rendering to PNG/JPEG export — happens exclusively on your device. When you close the tab, your image data is gone.
The meme generator includes: three text layers (top, middle, bottom) each with an independent Y-position slider; 11 fonts including Impact, Bangers (the authentic internet meme font), Anton, Oswald, Comic Sans, Arial Black and more; bold and italic toggles; left/center/right alignment; text background box with adjustable color and opacity; image adjustments (brightness, contrast, saturation); flip horizontal/vertical; adjustable font size, stroke width, text and stroke colors; uppercase toggle; text shadow; and export as PNG or JPEG with adjustable quality.
Creating a meme takes just three steps: Step 1 — upload your image by clicking “Upload image”, dragging and dropping a file onto the canvas, or pasting an image from your clipboard (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V). Step 2 — type your top, middle, or bottom text. All three fields are independent and each has a Y-position slider so you can place text anywhere on the image. Step 3 — adjust font, style, and colors as desired, then click “Download PNG” or “Download JPEG” to save your meme.
The meme generator supports all image formats your browser can render: JPEG, PNG, GIF (first frame), WebP, BMP, and SVG. There is no file size limit imposed by the tool itself. The exported meme can be saved as PNG (lossless, best quality) or JPEG (smaller file size, adjustable quality).
Yes — for individual meme creation, this tool provides the core functionality you need without the privacy trade-offs of cloud-based generators. Services like Imgflip, Kapwing, and Canva require you to upload your images to their servers. This tool processes everything locally, making it a privacy-first alternative. It does not include a meme template library with pre-loaded images (for copyright reasons) or video meme creation, but for adding text to any image it is faster, more private, and completely free with no watermarks.
Completely free — no account, no subscription, no watermark, no ads, no usage limits. This is one of 122+ free browser-based tools at jasperbernaers.com. If you find it useful, consider buying a coffee to support continued development.
