This blank is 583 x 800 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The tall frame gives you room for a short setup near the top and a payoff below the main subject.
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 |
|---|---|
| 'Person who claps when the plane lands' - Gotta be one of my favorite genders | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |

Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Gotta Be One of My Favorite Genders 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.
