Is there a meme template library?

No. There are no ready-made meme templates here; you bring your own image. If what you want is "pick a template and fill in two lines", this is not that place — what this page offers is real editing: text, strokes, layers.

How do I get the classic white text with a black outline?

Three steps: (1) type with the text tool and set the color to white; (2) open Layer Style > Stroke…; (3) set the stroke to black, position to outside, and size it between 1 and 50 pixels. Around 60pt type, 3 to 5 pixels is usually enough; go higher as the type grows, since a thin outline disappears in a thumbnail.

Can I use my own font?

Yes, and there is no size limit. That is worth saying on its own: a single weight of a Chinese font often exceeds 9MB and a .ttc collection can run to tens of megabytes, so a tool capped at 5MB effectively cannot load Chinese fonts at all. Here, the only thing that can refuse a font is the browser failing to parse it — not a limit we set.

Can it make animated memes? Is it free?

Animation is not on this page — use the GIF maker, which turns a set of images into an animation. Static memes are made here. Free, no sign-up, no usage limit, and nothing is uploaded.

One image, a couple of lines, a black outline — that is a meme.

Start with the text tool (shortcut `T`) and type on the image. Impact is in the built-in font list — the thick face memes are made of. For the classic white text with a black outline: set the text color to white, then open Layer Style > Stroke…, pick black for the stroke, set position to outside, and size it to the type — the range is 1 to 50 pixels. Around 60pt type, 3 to 5 pixels is usually enough; go higher as the type grows. The stroke also takes an opacity and a blend mode, and can be filled with a gradient or pattern, though a meme rarely needs any of that — plain black does it. Two things to be clear about: there is no meme template library here, so bring your own image; if you came for "pick a template, fill in two lines", this is not that place. And animated memes are not on this page — those go through the GIF maker. One thing is a genuine advantage: you can upload your own font, with no size limit. A single weight of a Chinese font often exceeds 9MB and a font collection can run to tens of megabytes, so tools that cap at 5MB effectively cannot load Chinese fonts at all. It all runs in your own browser; the images are never uploaded.
