Memeforge features
🗂️ Built-in template library
Dozens of classic formats ready to caption, plus upload your own base image.
✍️ Drag & resize text boxes
Position, scale and rotate top/bottom or freeform text with live preview.
🔤 Custom fonts & stroke
Impact-style outline by default, swap fonts, adjust stroke width, color and shadow.
📥 Upload your own image
Any JPG/PNG becomes a base template — not limited to the built-in set.
📦 Batch export queue
Caption a whole folder of images with the same text layout in one pass.
🚫 Zero watermark
Every export is a clean PNG — nothing added, ever, on any plan.
⚡ Keyboard shortcuts
Nudge, duplicate and cycle text layers without touching the mouse.
🔒 Fully offline
No image is ever uploaded anywhere — captioning happens entirely on your machine.
$15 once — that's the whole pricing page
Imgflip Pro charges $6.99/mo — roughly $84 a year, every year. Memeforge is a single payment, and it keeps working whether or not we ever sell another copy.
