Tips for Great Memes
- Classic style — white text with a thick black stroke on Impact font is the most readable meme format across all backgrounds.
- Keep text short — memes work best with punchy, concise text. Long sentences lose impact at small display sizes.
- Match text to image — the best memes use an image whose expression or action reinforces the text punchline.
- Contrast is key — use dark stroke on light images and light text on dark images for maximum readability.
- Multi-line text — break long text into two lines for better readability at small sizes.
