After we have done the settings, we start to type in the caption we want to use. Also we can already change the font size if we like. If we have done this, then we just need to choose the Impact font and we should be sure that the text color is white. We can either press “T” on our keyboard which would activate our “Horizontal Type Tool” and then we just have to click on our image to place the text or we just click on the “Type Tool Symbol” in Photoshop and click on our photo to place a text… Here is how we put a caption on the photo. I will use a photo of my cat Shyna to explain how you can do it…įirst we should open the image in Photoshop. In this tutorial you will learn how to create memes with Photoshop. The messages on memes are very often completely written in white capital letters and there is often a stroke effect or let me say a small black border added around the text. If you want to create similar memes, you can use the Impact font to add a caption to your images, you could also use other fonts but Impact is the most used font for memes as said.

The Impact font is commonly used for funny Internet memes like the Lolcat images. The very thick strokes of the Impact font are aimed, as the name suggests, to “impact” or in other words to stand out. Impact is included in the “core fonts for the web” package and has been distributed with Microsoft Windows since Windows 98, which means you should have the font already installed if you use this any Microsoft operating system. Have you ever asked how the most commonly used meme font is called? I can give you the answer.
