Privacy, in plain words

Is it safe? Your image is not uploaded anywhere

What “uploaded” normally means. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website. That copy is what the word “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains.

What happens instead. This site does not do it. There is no server here that receives files, so your image is read, converted and handed back by the browser you are using right now. It never travels — so there is no copy to store, read, leak or hand over.

Check it yourself in ten seconds

Turn off your Wi-Fi after this page has loaded, then convert a file anyway. It still works, because everything needed is already on your device.

The longer explanation of how this works, and the full detail of what is and is not stored on the privacy page.

Why this matters more than it sounds

Photographs carry more than what is in the frame — most also carry the time, the device and often the GPS coordinates where they were taken. It matters more than it sounds, because of what images usually are:

Screenshots of bank transfers

account details, and proof of what you paid whom

Medical scans and photographs

X-rays, results, images of a condition

Photographs of children

family pictures that should stay in the family

Passport and visa photos

biometric-grade images of your face

A file that is never sent cannot be kept, leaked, subpoenaed or used to train anything. That is a property of how this works, not a promise about how carefully it is run.

How Meme Generator works

Add the classic top and bottom captions to any picture. Everything happens inside this page: the file is read from your device into memory, processed there, and handed back as a download. It is never sent anywhere, and closing the tab discards it.

What it accepts: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, TIFF, BMP, HEIC, HEIF and 1 more. Files are identified by their contents rather than their name, so a mislabelled file is still handled correctly.
What happens to the data: The result is re-encoded, so some detail is discarded permanently. Starting from the original rather than from an already-processed file keeps that loss to one pass.
Size limit: Up to 60 MB per file. Because the work happens on your own machine, available memory is the real constraint — a laptop handles far more than a phone.

The settings, and what each one changes

Meme Generator exposes 7 settings. The defaults are chosen to suit the common case, so changing nothing is a reasonable way to start.

Top line: Free text, used exactly as you type it.
Bottom line: Free text, used exactly as you type it.
Text size: Takes 3 to 25 %. Applied to every file in the batch.
Capitals: On or off. Off is the default for meme generator unless stated otherwise.
Text colour: Free text, used exactly as you type it.
Outline colour: Free text, used exactly as you type it.
Quality: Higher keeps more detail but produces a larger file.

Worth knowing before you start

Impact with a heavy outline, because that is what the form is. The outline is what keeps white text readable over a bright photo.

Is Meme Generator safe — are my files uploaded to a server?

No, nothing is uploaded. On most online tools, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website, where it is processed and then sent back. That copy is what "upload" means. This tool does not do it: your file is read and processed by the browser you are using right now, stays on this device the whole time, and is discarded when you close the tab. Turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads and it still works, which is the quickest way to confirm it.

Can I use this on confidential or personal documents?

Yes — that is the case it was built for. Because the file never leaves your device, a confidential document is no more exposed than it is sitting in your own folder: there is no transfer, no copy on anybody else's hardware, no retention period and no staff with access. Nothing about the file is logged either — not its name, not its size, not its contents.
