Top text and bottom text

There is no picture upload: this page makes the words and you place them. Type the top line and press Download picture (PNG). Do the same for the bottom line, then lay both files over your picture in any image editor. Typed together, the two lines are saved as one block, close together.

Five fonts, measured

Fitted to the same width, Anton and Bebas Neue give capitals of nearly the same height. Oswald comes out about 85% as tall, Teko about three quarters, and Archivo Black half, because it runs twice as wide. Under Shape in More options, Every line full width enlarges a short top line to match a long bottom one.

  • The tool does not force capitals. Use caps lock, or pick Bebas Neue, which draws lowercase as capitals.
  • The outline opens at its thickest. Strength of the look, in More options, thins it without touching the letters.

Questions and answers

Why is meme text white with a black outline?

White text with a black border is easy to read on almost any background color, as Wikipedia's article on image macros notes. It gives the usual layout: centered capitals, a top line that sets things up and a bottom line that carries the point.

How do I add bottom text to a meme?

Type the bottom line on its own and press Download picture (PNG). The file is transparent and cut to the lettering, so it can sit at the foot of your picture in any image editor. This page has no picture upload.

Can I paste meme text as text?

Not with the outline. A paste carries only the letters, and the app you paste into draws them in its own font. Copy picture puts the PNG on your clipboard instead. For capitals that paste as text, use small caps.

Which fonts does this top text bottom text generator draw?

Five open-license fonts: Anton, Bebas Neue, Oswald, Teko and Archivo Black, each under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Anton opens the page.
