Classic Meme Fonts

Build a classic caption that stays readable

Start with Impact when it is available on your device, or compare Anton for a downloadable condensed alternative. Use white text with a black outline for a busy photo. Keep the outline thin enough that the spaces inside A, O and R remain visible.

Put the setup above the image and the punchline below it. For “WHEN YOU SAVE THE FILE / BUT FORGET WHERE”, break the words into those two ideas before adjusting the size. Leave the face or action uncovered: a readable caption still fails if it hides the reaction that completes the joke.

Review the exported image at the size people will see on a phone. If it takes effort to read, shorten the sentence first. A thicker outline cannot rescue words that are simply too small. On a device without Impact, the preview can use a fallback; inspect it before exporting.
