You've probably seen a huge number of memes on the social network. These are funny pictures with captions. If you think that creating them takes a lot of time and effort, you are mistaken. Any user can make a meme for VKontakte using a special service in a couple of minutes.

Now I will show you how this can be done.

How to create a meme on your phone

There are many different applications for creating funny pictures. They are all free and will allow even the most ordinary person to make a meme.

MemeTastic

This program will help you make a picture for yourself and your readers on the Internet for free. MemeTastic allows you not to spend a lot of time and nerves on creating a meme; also, the application does not torment its users with advertising and does not apply watermarks.

The built-in gallery of templates allows you to edit them as you wish. As for the text applied to the photograph, the inscriptions can simply be written on top of the image.

You have the opportunity to choose the font, change the color, size and much more. Overall, MemeTastic has all the essential features for creating memes.

Mematic

The program provides its users with a choice of already known and popular images. You have the opportunity to create your original image and immediately “upload” it to the network, to various pages of social networks.

Also, if you have a large assortment of your own pictures for memes, the application allows you to use pictures from your phone gallery.

In addition, Mematic will help you make something for WhatsApp and immediately upload it there. This is very convenient; you don’t have to save the image to the gallery and then send it to someone.

Meme Generator Free

If you don't have any idea for original text on a photo, this application will help you find inspiration. The thing is that Meme Generator Free has many different examples in its “memory”.

The application, of course, uses a generator to select existing inscriptions for the meme, but you can also write your own original thought.

Also, you can adjust the font, crop photos and post them on social networks (VK, Odnoklassniki, etc.). Only now this application has advertising and nothing can be done about it.

GATM Meme Generator

With this application, you can not only create your own funny masterpieces, but also download images of other GATM Meme Generator users to your phone.

The downside of the program is that the user interface is not the best. But you can easily sort the memes into different categories.

The application consists of three tabs. The first is responsible for reading memes, the second is responsible for creating them, but the third is for saving. All functions are present.

By the way, the application allows you to simply watch funny pictures. And, even if you didn’t create anything, you were able to cheer yourself up by watching memes.

What do we need

There are a lot of services on the Internet that allow you to create a meme based on ready-made templates. Their functionality allows you to work with text, add effects, etc. (cm. ). You can find a suitable project yourself - their operating principles are similar. And the knowledge that you will gain after reading this article can be used for independent work.

Prepare a picture that we will use to create a meme.

For the purposes of this guide, I suggest using the mr-mem.ru service. Here's a link to it:

Now let's learn how to use it.

How to come up with an idea for a picchi

Sometimes ideas are born spontaneously and right away, but more often you just sit down and be dumb for a long time. Then several ways come to the rescue.

Zhiza

According to my observations, it is picchi-zhiz that find the greatest response from subscribers. They are commented on and reposted with the captions “Oh yes, this is about me”, “Vital”, “That’s for sure”, etc. People like to read about themselves and recognize themselves in funny pictures. And the more the situation in the pic is similar to the life situation of the target audience, the greater the response the pic will receive.

Let's use an example. I needed to make a pic for the announcement of the article “137 ideas for a blog.” The audience for this post is people who need ideas (thanks, Cap). What is their main problem? And such that even if you are a creative and extraordinary person, it is difficult to come up with a cool idea to order. You sit down, think, feel how the convolutions are moving, but nothing useful comes out. Zhiza? Zhiza.

So, there is a concept for the pic, the rest is a matter of technique. I select a suitable picture, and this is what I get:

Stock photos

Stock pictures for posts are in bad taste, but you can make a good meme out of them. The principle is this: we take the topic of our post and think about what stupid situation we can get into in connection with this topic. The characters in the stock photo are licked, smile with 36 teeth and live an ideal life. That’s why it’s funnier when some kind of failure happens to them.

Example. The topic of the post is voice assistants. The most ordinary stupid situation when I dictated one thing, and the voice assistant heard something completely different, similar in sound, but distorting the meaning. We play out the situation in the dialogue, and we get:

The biggest difficulty here is to choose suitable pictures for the top and bottom tier. You can find whole series of photos on stocks, where the same models are depicted from different angles and poses, and choose something suitable. Or you can just google and find similar pictures. For example, in the pic about bergamot, the girls above and below are different, but you almost certainly didn’t pay attention to this. The good thing about memes is that they don’t have to be perfect. I often see pics with stock photos with watermarks. It's even funnier this way.

If you don’t find anything, you can cut out suitable parts from different pictures and assemble the desired pic. The cut doesn't have to be perfect, the main thing is that there is a funny story.

Exaggeration

If there is a lot of something, then there is an infinite amount of it, it fills everything around. If something is small, then we cannot examine it even under the coolest microscope. If something is heavy, then it is heavier than a black hole. If you wait a long time for something, it means hundreds of years or an eternity.

Pun

Some words have several meanings or, when combined with others, give an interesting sound. This can be played out in piccha.

Absurd

Sometimes the pic is absurd and off topic. It’s not clear what’s happening on it, you look and think, what does this have to do with it. And laugh.

If the pic turns out to be boring, an absurd inscription can save it.

The idea does not always come before the selection of the picture. More often than not, it’s the other way around – you find some suitable meme and adapt it to your theme. Therefore, it is vitally important for a picture artist to know where to get suitable pictures.

Create a meme for VKontakte

Now search on your computer and select the image you want. It will be downloaded and an editing form will open for you. She looks like this.

Let's figure out what's here.

First, there are two blocks for editing text - at the top and bottom. Just click on them with the mouse cursor and a text entry form will appear.

Write a phrase. If necessary, you can change the color of the letter and frame, and also select the font.

There are 4 buttons at the bottom of the window.

• "Filters". Used to apply ready-made design styles to an image.
• "Save" . When you click on this button, you will be asked to save the finished meme to your computer.
• "Stickers". Here is a ready-made set of stickers that you can use.
• "Again". Reset changes and start again.

Now we have become familiar with all the available functionality. Use it to create a meme. I got it something like this.

Save the resulting image and use it.

Make a meme in Paint

In order to create a meme from a photo, you just need to upload the prepared photo into the paint editor. This editor in Windows can be found in the main menu, then all programs are standard - paint. As shown in the screenshot

Uploading a photo for a meme

The blank for the meme can be cropped, the image dimensions can be changed, that is, it can be adjusted to the desired format. Then go to the text tool by clicking on the letter “A” in the toolbar, as shown in the picture.

Preparation for a future meme

Now let's proceed directly to creating the meme itself. That is, we apply text to the prepared memo photo. In the program, go to the text tool and select the font color, size, then use the mouse to select an arbitrary area in the photo and enter the invented text. Then we save the result.

The finished result of the work

That's it, the MEM is ready. For those who don't understand, watch the video below.

How to make a meme from a photo in Photoshop CS6

In order to create a cool meme, you can use Photoshop. This program requires certain knowledge and skills to work with it. If you do not have this software installed, you need to install it. This is perhaps the most powerful photo editor that allows you to make a really cool meme. This is achieved by editing the meme template, that is, the prepared photograph.

You can blur a meme photo and apply various filters. It is also possible to simply draw something on a blank sheet of paper. For example, something like this:

The most popular meme I always laugh

And most importantly, this program has the ability to edit the inserted text in every possible way. It can be rotated and placed vertically, there is a large library of fonts and a lot of editing options. But for the full breadth of possibilities for making memes, you must know how to use this program. Although the principle is simple, almost the same as in paint.

Launch the program, click open in the file menu and select a template for the meme, see screenshot.

Save the changes and that's it! Meme is ready!

Attention MEM! You should know it!

A meme is an emotion conveyed through media files. It will not be possible to make it to order, much less under pressure. This is the same as writing a new joke that will be retold and retold. It’s the same with a meme, its task is to convey emotions and mood, and at the same time the necessary information, possibly hidden advertising of a product or service. In any case, making a cool meme from scratch that will become popular online is very difficult. Therefore, it is better to take already promoted and recognizable images and add your own inscriptions to them, this way you can easily make good memes.

There are many online services on the Internet that provide popular pictures for preparing memes. For example, a photo of Agutin with different inscriptions spread across the network.

Meme with Agutin

Making this or a similar meme is quite simple in principle. You need to pause the recording at the right moment and press PrtSc on the keyboard (take a screenshot), then open the paint editor and press Ctrl + V and save the meme template. This could be the facial expression of your favorite movie character, a still from a cartoon, etc.

To summarize all that has been said, we note two points:

• Technically, memes are easy to make.
• It is almost impossible to release a truly popular meme. That is, launch a meme that will spread across the network and will be popular for a long time, and will also be reposted by everyone.

Based on this, it is best to use ready-made and recognizable meme templates.

A meme is a tool of communication between everyone connected to the Internet. It is a voice message that is superimposed on a picture in order to convey some information to Internet users. And the question often arises about how to create memes so that they not only attract the right number of people, but also look at the highest level.

Examples of popular memes

In the bourgeois internet, one of the first truly popular photo memes was “O RLY”:

It was “optimized” many times, but it meant about the same thing: “oh, really”? (“really?” in translation). It was often inserted on forums to enhance the effect and visualize doubt. In the Russian language, by the way, there is an excellent (though slightly outdated) expression that is suitable in sound and meaning: “Oh li?” (i.e. “is this so?”).

This meme “resonates” perfectly with me (as they say, it inserts), just like the above-mentioned Zhdun. By the way, the meme called “Zhdun” (“Pochekun” in the Ukrainian segment of the network) is the most fresh thing. Its popularity began after appearing on Pikabu quite recently and has not yet subsided. It is inserted almost everywhere and it fits into place everywhere, demonstrating equanimity and slight surprise.

An example is the same well-established LOL (laughing out loud) or in the Russian incarnation - LOL (I can’t laugh).

What else? Well, the once popular “jargon of bastards” with their “medved”, “babruisk”, “olbansky”, “afftar”, “accordion” “stsuk*”, etc. A meme can also be a thing, for example, Nokia 3310 (which has now found a second life) or a St. George ribbon.

What can be an example of photo memes? Well, from what is popular now.

1. Meme of Agutin (making a difficult decision). There are countless options for inscriptions in this photo (maybe new ones are appearing now):

   

2. This version of the screenshot of Tony Stark (actor Robert Downey Jr.) from the movie “Iron Man” with various “smart” thoughts is very common:

   

3. The meme “black man with a finger on his face” or “smart black man” (oh, how politically correct I am) is in demand:

   

4. The so-called meme about Karl:

   

5. There are tons of memes about Diana Shurygina, but I have no idea (and I don’t want to delve into it) why the Internet world is so up in arms against her. For me, they are artificially implanted (the so-called forced), and therefore they do not resonate very much.
6. Often these are demotivators or just pictures with frames and phrases from films:

   

7. Sometimes they become popular characters on the Internet, such as the sensational Momo:

An example of a music meme is a video by Eduard Khil, shot a long time ago, but relatively recently leaked online, after which it became popular around the world as the “Mr. Trololo” meme:

There is even a selection of musical memes, but they are mostly bourgeois and have little resonance with me. But this kind of musical impromptu really “delighted” me and continues to “deliver” (my frequency is the picture, the sound, and the surroundings).

This media virus amazed me...

Functions of memes

The main purpose of a meme is to convey an information message to an indefinite number of people. It can be in the form of a ready-made image, on which text and visual effects are superimposed. In general, creating a meme with your own picture is quite simple. To do this, just find a suitable image and use a graphic editor to apply the corresponding text.

Memes can be used to shape a point of view. For example, a healthy lifestyle is actively promoted on social networks. For this purpose, images are added to the corresponding groups that ridicule those who are accustomed to revelry and excess. The fashion for this form of communication came from Western Internet resources. In the United States, memes have been used for a long time. In Russia, this is an innovation that is developing at a rapid pace.

The main area of ​​use of memes

Memes are most represented on social networks, on youth and gaming forums. With their help, users of the World Wide Web can influence a particular person, causing negative or positive emotions. In addition, such images act as a source of news: any information leaked onto the Internet immediately becomes public through the creation of another meme.

In principle, how to create memes and distribute them is a personal matter for the user. However, this form of communication on the Internet has gained wide popularity due to the fact that such images are easily reproduced and most accurately reveal the entire essence of the transmitted message (which takes up several sentences in the news feed).

What does a meme mean and who creates them?

Many users understand memani as funny pictures with equally funny captions like “You can overcome laziness, but laziness.”

However, the history of this phenomenon of digital culture rests on real science (albeit not recognized in scientific circles).

The inventor of the concept of Meme is considered to be a genuine British scientist (genuine, true British scientist) named Richard Dawkins.

• By the way, in British transcription the word meme sounds like “mime”.
• However, in Russian, “mime” is something like a clown, so in RuNet the English meme is usually pronounced and written as “meme”.

However, according to Clinton's interpretation by Richard Dawkins, a born British scientist, the term “meme” does not mean exactly what RuNet users understand.

If, according to Dawkins, a meme is something like a cultural atom or gene, an elementary unit of cultural information, then on the Internet memes are more like something like the “cherry on the cake.”

So to speak, cultural highlights that brighten up the boring and harsh routine of office plankton sadly floating on social networks.

While they should be diligently and selflessly “burning at work” (meme) for the benefit of the boss.

In simple terms, an Internet meme is viral content, something like a digital joke, presented in the format of a picture with a caption, video, Flash or GIF animation.

Who creates memes? Like jokes, they are created by the people. That is, we are with you. Internet users with creative thinking.

The main thing is to find a cool picture and add explanatory text using PhotoShop.

What does it take to create a meme?

To become the author of a unique and unique image, it is enough to have 3 things: the Internet, a personal computer, a graphics editor. Standard Power Point is suitable as software. First you need to find a suitable image. It is important to remember that the basis for a meme can be not only a picture, but also a video file, clip or music. In each thing you need to look for its own “grain”. If one person is hooked, there is a high probability that there will be other fans.

For example, you can create a meme without registration on most foreign sites (lurkmore.to). This is where users post their images, which subsequently appear on social networks and news/gaming forums. The selected image is edited: color is added, shape, texture and appearance are changed. If you want it to be as original as possible, it is best to draw it by hand. Various online services can help: Photoshop or video converters.

Programs for creating memes

Scrolling through your feed on a social network, it’s hard not to come across pictures with jokes, called memes. They appeared a long time ago, even before the creation of Facebook and Vkontakte, but they became very popular only recently. Any object can become a meme, and thanks to its dissemination through social networks, it will immediately become recognizable and discussed.

You can make such funny pictures yourself. There are special programs for this that allow you to save time and quickly create the desired meme. We have selected several such applications, the capabilities of which we will consider below.

The most popular memes are collected in the library and sorted in alphabetical order, you just need to find the desired template and select it. You can add two captions - one at the top and one at the bottom of the picture.

Unfortunately, iMeme does not contain Russian language and narrowly targeted memes for users of VKontakte or other domestic social networks. However, you can add your own images and then overlay text on top of them. The program is distributed absolutely free of charge and can be downloaded from the official website.

Free Meme Creator

In this application you can create your own pictures, but this will be problematic - since it does not have its own library of templates, you will have to search the Internet for the desired image. But it is better than iMeme in another way - it has more options for working with text. You can change its color, add as many lines as you like, change the font and its size.

There is no Russian language in Free Meme Creator, but it is not particularly needed, since everything is intuitive. The program takes up little space on the computer and does not load the system. You can download it from the official website.

Yes, the article discusses only two representatives of this type of program, since there are not so many solutions for PCs. Developers are not particularly keen to create computer versions, paying more attention to online meme creators. However, both iMeme and Free Meme Creator are enough to quickly create your own funny images.
