This blank is 468 x 546 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 are more detailed, so trim aggressively before posting on small screens. 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 |
|---|---|
| Funny how the people who 'never check their phone' reply the fastest when there's free food. But that's none of my business | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Interesting how the gym got crowded right after January 1st and empty again by February. But that's none of my business | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Weird how the 'I did all the work' teammate couldn't name a single thing on the slides. But that's none of my business | 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 Gentleman frog 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.
