This blank is 1280 x 1236 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 |
|---|---|
| Scroll: 'you don't hate Mondays, you hate your job' / *throws it into the ocean* | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Scroll: 'the bug is in your code, not the framework' / *hurls it off the cliff* | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Scroll: 'you have time to exercise, you just spend it scrolling' / *launches it into the sea* | 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 The Scroll Of Truth 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.
