Capypix Meme Generator

Meme Generator

Pick a template — or describe the one you have in mind — add your caption and share it. Free, nothing uploaded.

How to make a meme

  1. Search for a template by name or by describing it, or tap Use your own photo to start from a picture or GIF on your phone.
  2. Tap a caption to type your text. Drag it to move it; pull the blue dot, or pinch with two fingers, to resize it. Text adds another caption.
  3. Use Style for the font, colour, outline and capitals. Draw, Effects, Cutout and Frame are there when you want more.
  4. Tap Share to send it straight to a chat or save it to your photos, or Save to download the file.

Guides to the most searched memes — where each one comes from, what it means and caption ideas — with the editor one tap away.

Find a template by describing it

Most people remember a meme by what happens in it, not by its name. The search box is built for that. Type what you picture — “guy looking at another girl”, “woman yelling at a cat”, “old painting lady side eye”, “smiling but dying inside” — and the closest templates come first. Every template has a written description, its nicknames and the feelings it is used for, so searching for an emotion such as shocked, smug or tired works too. Small typos are forgiven: “pikachoo” still finds Surprised Pikachu.

Made for phones

Memes are mostly made and shared on phones, so the editor is designed for one thumb. The picture fills the screen, the tools sit at the bottom within reach, and every button is large enough to hit without zooming. Captions are edited in a box above the keyboard so you can see the meme change as you type. When you are done, Share opens your phone's own share sheet, so the meme goes straight to Messages, WhatsApp or your photo library without a separate download step.

More than captions

Your images stay on your device

Like every tool on Capypix, the meme generator runs in your browser. Photos and GIFs you open are drawn on your own device and are never sent to our server, and nothing you make is stored or published by us. There is no account and no limit on how many memes you make.

Where the templates come from

A large part of the collection is public-domain art and photography: portraits, genre scenes and animal studies from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access collection, the Rijksmuseum and Wikimedia Commons, which mark these works as free for anyone to reuse. Alongside them are the classic meme formats everyone knows. Each template's source and licence is listed on the template credits page, and image owners can ask us to remove a template on our copyright page. New templates are added every week as new formats catch on.

Tips for a meme that lands

Frequently asked questions

Is this meme generator free?

Yes. Every template and tool is free, with no sign-up. A small capypix.com tag is added to saved memes by default — switch it off in one tap, free.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The meme is drawn in your browser, so your photos and GIFs stay on your device. Only the words you type into the search box are used to find templates.

How do I find a template if I don't know its name?

Describe what is in the picture or what it is used for — for example “guy looking at another girl” or “old painting woman side eye”. The search matches nicknames, emotions and descriptions, and it tolerates typos.

Can I make a GIF meme?

Yes. Tap “Use your own photo” and pick a GIF. You can add captions, drawings and effects, and the result is saved as an animated GIF. Long or large GIFs are reduced to 480 pixels on the longest side and at most 150 frames so they stay quick to share.

How do I save a meme to my phone's photos?

Tap Share and choose “Save Image” (iPhone) or your gallery app (Android). On a computer, Save downloads the file.

Can I use these memes on social media?

Yes. Templates from old paintings and photographs are in the public domain or CC0, so you can use them freely. Classic meme formats belong to their owners and are offered for commentary and parody, which is how memes are normally shared.
