Check out these 5 free methods to create fun and engaging memes on your iPhone and iPad using user-friendly apps and tools.
Memes lighten the mood and add a fun element to a conversation. If you love memes, you might want to create some with your own image or text. Your options include creating memes from scratch or editing a well-known meme template on your iPhone and iPad with custom text.
1. Use any photo editor you’re familiar with
The best thing about memes is that there isn’t a fixed format. Anything that conveys the message with some image or text can be considered a meme.
So, the easiest way to create memes is by using a photo editor app you already use on your iPhone. All that app needs to be capable of is adding text to an image or letting you put more than one image together in different styles.
Using an acquainted app to create memes ensures that you don’t have to download anything new and dig through its options.
I use Studio and Canva on my iPhone. If I find some funny meme or image on X (Twitter) or the internet, I download it to my iPhone. After that, I open that image in Studio or Canva, use rectangle shapes to cover the current text, and then add my own text to make a personal meme. The entire process is relatively quick.
2. Use Mematic – The Meme Maker app
Mematic lets you create memes from scratch by using an image from the Photos app. Alternatively, you can pick a meme idea inside the app and edit it using your custom text.
1) Download Mematic and open it.
2) Choose Free Style or one of the other templates or styles from the top.
3) You can now select a meme or stock photo or choose your own image by tapping Photo. I will go with the Will Smith & Chris Rock meme template.
4) Double-tap to edit the text and add something your creative mind wants.
5) Optionally, you can use the other tools to add text, bubbles, image, stickers, etc.
6) Finally, when done, tap Export > Save to have this meme in your iPhone’s Photos app.
In addition to that, you can also swipe left and pick one of the meme templates under the Meme Ideas section of the Mematic app.
Overall, the app is easy and fun to use. Plus, the availability of the latest meme templates is a treat that lets you stay updated with what’s in trend.
3. Use GIF & Memes app
GIF & Memes is another app that lists some of the most famous meme templates that you can edit by adding your custom text and save that as a meme. You can also pick an image from your Photos app and add text at the top or bottom in different styles.
1) Download GIF & Memes on your iPhone and open it.
2) Tap a meme under Hot Memes or Memes DIY.
3) Select an existing image, GIF, or template.
4) Tap Make Meme.
5) Choose a template.
6) Now, double-tap to add your custom text. You can also add stickers and extra text by tapping A+.
7) When you finish creating, tap Done > Save to have this meme in your iPhone’s Photo Library.
4. Use Imgur
Imgur is a vibrant community for viral and popular images and memes of all kinds. In addition to browsing and enjoying the posts there, you can also create a meme from scratch, upload it to Imgur (without making it publicly available), and then save it locally to your iPhone’s Photos app.
1) Download Imgur, open it, and create a free account.
