How to make a meme on any device

Memes dominate the digital space these days. Though memes take several shapes and forms, they are most commonly understood as humorous, context-driven images juxtaposed with text. Memes have practically become their own language, commonly permeating social media spaces, instant messaging apps, and forums like Reddit. Let’s review how to make a meme using an online generator tool.
