This blank is 500 x 887 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 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

PatternWhy it works
IT'S FRIDAY AND PAYDAY / TIME TO BUY GROCERIES LIKE A KINGThis works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label.
MY CODE COMPILED ON THE FIRST TRY / I AM A GENIUS AND NOTHING CAN STOP METhis pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction.

Common mistakes with this blank

  • Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Super Birthday Squirrel 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.
