This blank is 501 x 499 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The near-square frame is flexible for feeds, group chats, Reddit, and Discord.
The sample captions leave room for a setup and a punchline without turning into a paragraph. Before exporting, read the caption once without looking at the image; if it still needs a long explanation, switch to a simpler setup or a more obvious related template.
Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Top: my bank account on payday / Bottom: me, looking in | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Top: the group chat that went silent right after I left / Bottom: me, peering back in | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Top: my ex's new relationship status / Bottom: me at 2am | This is a useful direction when you want the punchline to feel personal or self-aware. |
Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Cat looks inside image do part of the work.
- Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
- Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
- Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
