Is the GIF meme generator free?

Each meme GIF costs 3 credits in Standard or 6 in HD. Packs start at $4.99 for 40 credits, credits never expire, and failed generations are refunded.

Can I make a meme of a celebrity or a friend?

No. Memes of real people are not allowed, whether famous or not. Use an animal, an object or an original character to play the part.

Can I recreate a famous meme template?

Make an original take instead: describe the situation the template is known for with your own characters. Copies of film frames, show characters and existing meme images are not allowed.

How long can the caption be?

Up to a short sentence, but six words or fewer reads best and is spelled correctly most often. Put long captions in HD.

Where can I post meme GIFs?

Anywhere that plays GIFs: Discord, Slack, iMessage, WhatsApp, X, Reddit, forums and email. Download the file and upload it like any other GIF.

AI GIF Meme Generator

This GIF meme generator makes reaction GIFs you will not find on Giphy, because they did not exist until you typed them. Describe the reaction ("a raccoon slowly closes a laptop, defeated"), add a caption, and GPT-Image-2.6 draws an original looping meme GIF with your words on it.

Why make a meme GIF instead of searching for one

GIF search is great for the classics, but the best reactions in a group chat are specific: the office printer, the friend who is always late, the team that lost again. A GIF meme generator turns that inside joke into an original GIF in seconds.

Because every meme here is drawn new, it uses original characters instead of frames from films and shows, so there is no clip to license and nobody else has the same GIF.

Meme GIF ideas

A raccoon slowly closing a laptop: "me after one more meeting". A dog in a hard hat nodding at a pile of laundry: "it's under control". A frog spinning on an office chair: "Friday 4:59 pm". A pigeon pacing in front of a fridge: "looking for snacks I already ate". A cat in a tiny suit giving a thumbs up while the room floods: "everything is fine".

How to make a reaction that reads in one second

Use one subject and one big, simple action, and exaggerate the face. Keep the camera still, so the motion is the joke, and keep the caption short in white bold letters with a black outline, the classic meme lettering.

Standard is enough for most memes and costs 3 credits. Switch to HD when the caption is long or the face needs to stay identical across frames.

Meme GIF rules

No real people: no celebrities, politicians, streamers or friends who did not agree. No copyrighted characters, logos or film stills, and no hateful, sexual or violent content. Every prompt is checked before anything is charged, and a blocked generation is refunded.
