Create Memes from Popular Templates
Generate on-point memes using well-known templates with the exact text placement and formatting that makes them land.
Make Memes from Custom Images
Turn any photo or screenshot into a meme with perfectly placed, styled text — no image editor required.
Quick answer: Use the Meme Generator tool through ToolRouter to make memes from custom images directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.
ToolThe best memes often come from a specific image — a perfect screenshot, a product photo that begs for a caption, a candid event photo that is genuinely funny. But adding text to an image with proper meme formatting — font size, color contrast, positioning, and outline — requires a graphic design tool that most people do not have set up.
Meme Generator's from_image skill takes any image and overlays properly formatted meme text — impact font, white with black outline, positioned correctly for the image composition — so the result looks like a real meme, not a watermarked phone-filter overlay.
Marketing teams reacting to product moments, community managers turning user-submitted photos into community content, and creators who want to meme their own screenshots without opening an image editor use this to go from image to shareable meme without friction.
How to make memes from custom images with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw
Claude is useful for custom image memes when the text has to be precisely right — the exact wording that makes the image funny, the positioning that makes the composition work, the line breaks that time the joke correctly.

Example prompt for Claude
Try this with Claude using the Meme Generator tool
Use meme-generator to turn this photo from our team offsite — where everyone is looking exhausted on a hiking trail — into a relatable meme about Monday meetings. Write the funniest version of the text first, then generate it. Tell me if the positioning works with the photo composition.
Tips for Claude
- Write the text before generating — bad text on a good image still makes a bad meme.
- Ask Claude to consider the image composition when positioning text — blocking the funniest part defeats the joke.
- Keep text to one or two lines maximum — three lines is the edge of what reads before you scroll past.
ChatGPT works well for custom image memes when you have a set of brand photos or event screenshots and want to turn them all into meme content for a campaign or community post series.

How to make memes from custom images with ChatGPT
Once connected (see setup above), use the Meme Generator tool:
- Provide the images and describe the humor angle or message for each.
- Ask ChatGPT to draft the meme text for each image before generating.
- Generate all memes using from_image with the drafted text.
- Ask ChatGPT to rank the batch by engagement potential and flag any that feel forced.

Use meme-generator to turn these 4 product launch screenshots into memes for our post-launch social content. Each one should poke fun at a different part of the launch week chaos. Draft the funniest text for each photo before generating, then rank them by which will perform best.
Tips for ChatGPT
- Ask ChatGPT to draft several text options per image before choosing one — the first idea is rarely the funniest.
- Flag any meme that relies on inside knowledge your audience may not have — external audiences should get the joke too.
- Check that brand elements are not obscured by the meme text before posting.
Copilot is the right fit when custom image memes are campaign assets that need to be documented alongside copy and scheduling metadata in a content brief.

How to make memes from custom images with Copilot
Once connected (see setup above), use the Meme Generator tool:
- Provide the source images and the campaign context for each meme.
- Generate each meme with from_image and the campaign-appropriate text.
- Add caption copy, hashtags, and post timing metadata alongside each meme in the brief.
- Confirm the meme dimensions are correct for the target platform.
Example prompt for Copilot
Try this with Copilot using the Meme Generator tool
Use meme-generator to create memes from these three product screenshots for our campaign brief. Each meme targets a different user pain point we solve. Add a two-sentence post caption and three hashtags for each, sized for Twitter card format.
Tips for Copilot
- Check Twitter card dimensions specifically — memes that look fine in a square crop may not display correctly in a card preview.
- Write captions that give context without explaining the meme — the image should be funny standalone.
- Group meme assets with their copy in the brief document so social teams have everything in one place.
OpenClaw is best when you have a collection of images — an event photo archive, a product screenshot library, a brand shoot — and want to turn a significant portion of them into meme assets with consistent formatting.

Use meme-generator to create memes from all 15 photos from our developer conference. Each photo has a text suggestion in the filename. Apply the text to the matching image with proper meme formatting and return the full set named by speaker or session.
Tips for OpenClaw
- Include the meme text in the filename or a separate manifest file so batch processing maps correctly.
- Standardize the text style before batching — font size, position, and outline consistency make the library look professional.
- Review the batch at thumbnail size — memes are often viewed small on social feeds and text needs to be legible at that scale.
