Ready to go live with your Meme Generator? Review the following before launch:
  • All uploaded images use the correct dimensions. Export image files at 2x resolution to avoid pixelation.

  • You have uploaded a list of banned words if users can enter custom text.
If you are running a competition with Data Capture attached:
  • All communications (Registration, Winner/s, Everybody Else) are set up and ready to send.
  • You have linked your T&Cs to the opt-in field in Data Capture.
  • Prizes and awarding rules are configured correctly.
  • If you are using Digital Coupons, confirm coupon limits, screen copy, and communication links are correct.
Then you are ready to go live.

FAQ

How many background options can I upload? You can add as many background options as you need. When a meme is created, where is it stored? Open the Meme Creations tab on the card to review, download, and view user details for each submission. Is there a way to see the number of creations made? Open the card Settings tab and select Analytics for card stats. You can also check the total at the bottom of the Meme Creations tab. Can users take photos or selfies in the Meme Generator? No. If you want users to take photos within a card, use the Photo Frame card instead.

Top tips

  • Let users edit text where possible. Personalised memes drive stronger engagement than read-only templates.
  • Test longer text inputs before launch and resize text boxes so copy remains readable.
  • Run competitions with the Meme Generator card—feature winning memes on social channels, or display finalists in a Carousel or Vote card to extend engagement.
  • Place text boxes near the edges of the canvas so user-uploaded backgrounds stay visible.
  • Choose an aspect ratio that matches where users are most likely to share their memes (for example, square for Instagram or landscape for Facebook).
