How to make a meme with no watermark, step by step
Open the free meme generator at https://avaloncompany.ai/tools/meme-generator/. It works in your browser, on a computer or a phone.
Step 1: Choose an image. Use your own photo, a screenshot or a drawing. On a phone, pick it from your gallery.
Step 2: Type your text. Top and bottom text start in the classic spots. Each extra text box starts in the middle.
Step 3: Move the text if you want. Drag it on the picture with your mouse or finger.
Step 4: Pick a font. The classic meme font covers English and most European languages. For Korean, Japanese, Chinese and other scripts, choose Plain bold. Then every character shows in your device's own bold font.
Step 5: Download. Choose PNG or JPG. PNG keeps the text edges sharp and is best for sharing in chats. JPG makes a smaller file, which helps when a site limits upload size.
The download has no watermark. It is just your picture and your text, at the full size of the original.
What we tested and how
We tested the tool on 2026-11-01. We used Chromium on a desktop, with the free version.
We ran 5 test cases: a typical file, an animated GIF, a PDF file renamed to look like an image, an empty (0-byte) image file, and a text test with Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai and Russian.
All 5 passed. The table on this page lists every case.
What happened with the difficult files
The typical file worked as expected. The tool saved jpg_photo-meme.png at 1200ร800.
The animated GIF also worked. The tool saved gif_animated-meme.png at 320ร240. The output was a PNG file.
The multi-language text test worked too. The tool saved png_photo-meme.png at 800ร600. We did not check how each script looked, so use the Plain bold font for non-European scripts, as the tool page advises.
The renamed PDF did not open. The tool said: "This image could not be opened. Try saving it again as JPG or PNG." The empty 0-byte file gave the same message. We counted both as passes because the tool refused the bad file with a clear message and did not save a broken meme.
If you see that message, save your image again as JPG or PNG and try again.
Limits of the free version and when this tool is not the right choice
This tool works with images you bring. It has no gallery of popular meme templates. Most famous meme pictures belong to someone else, so the tool leaves them out.
Very large images are saved at up to 4,096 pixels on the long side.
In our test, the animated GIF came out as a single PNG image. If you need a meme that moves, this tool is not the right choice.
The tool only opens real image files. A file that is not an image, or is empty, will not open.
On privacy, the tool page says the meme is drawn inside your browser, on your own device. Your picture is not sent to our servers or anyone else.
We re-run these tests when the tool changes. Results describe this tool on the date shown.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. Can I make a meme on my phone?
Yes. Open the tool page in your phone's browser, choose a photo or screenshot from your gallery, type the text and download the meme.
Q. What happens if I upload a file that is not a real image?
In our test, a PDF renamed to look like an image and an empty 0-byte file both gave this message: "This image could not be opened. Try saving it again as JPG or PNG." No meme was saved.
