Credits for AI generations

Manual captioning, the template library, Canvas editing without Grok, and export stay free. Credits are only used for AI-assisted actions.

Purchases are sold through Link using Stripe Managed Payments. Link is the merchant of record and handles transaction support and applicable indirect taxes.

Your personal Grok usage is never charged. X sign-in only identifies your WhatiMeme account and credits; generations use WhatiMeme’s server-side xAI API access.

Terms of Service

Last updated: September 4, 2026

These Terms govern your use of WhatiMeme at whatimeme.wtf (the “Service”), operated by whatimeme (“we,” “us”). By using the Service, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What the Service is

WhatiMeme is a meme-literacy tool. Browsing the template library, writing captions by hand, using the Canvas editor without Grok, and exporting images are free and require no account. AI-assisted actions consume credits as described below.

2. Accounts

Paid features require signing in with an X account. You are responsible for activity under your account. We identify you by your X account ID; we do not receive or store your X password and do not post on your behalf.

We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms. If we terminate an account for a reason other than a violation, we will refund unused purchased credits.

3. Credits and purchases

A generation is one completed AI action. Completing the guided AI meme workflow, running “In Grok I trust,” or editing an image with Grok Imagine costs 1 credit. “Meme the News” costs 2 credits because it finds a trending story and produces opposing memes. An “𝕏 Post Reaction” costs 1.5 credits.

Purchases are sold through Link using Stripe Managed Payments. Link acts as merchant of record and handles transaction-level payment support, fraud, disputes, and applicable indirect-tax calculation, collection, filing, and remittance. Checkout, receipts, and card statements identify Link’s role.

  • Credit pack: $5 USD for 25 credits. It is a one-time purchase; credits do not expire.
  • Subscription: $5 USD per month for 30 credits each billing period. Credits reset each period, do not roll over, and the subscription renews until cancelled.

A credit is deducted only when an action succeeds. Failures, errors, and safety refusals cost nothing. For “Meme the News,” a failed story search costs nothing; if the search succeeds and at least one meme is produced, the full 2 credits are charged.

Credits have no cash value, are not transferable, and are not a stored-value instrument. We may change future prices or credit costs. Previously purchased credits keep the terms under which they were bought.

4. AI output and availability

AI output is generated automatically and is not reviewed before you see it. It may be inaccurate, unfunny, or unsuitable. Buying credits buys the successful actions described above, not a specific creative outcome. The Service depends on third-party AI providers; you are not charged when an affected action fails.

5. Your content and acceptable use

You keep ownership of images you upload and memes you make. You grant us only the limited license needed to process them, including transmitting them to our AI provider to perform the action you request and holding them briefly to deliver the result.

You must not use the Service to create sexual content involving a real person or content sexualizing minors; harass, threaten, defame, or impersonate anyone; deceptively depict a real person saying or doing something they did not where a reasonable viewer would believe it genuine; infringe intellectual-property rights; or break applicable law.

Satire, parody, and commentary on public figures are permitted. Do not depict a private individual without consent or create deceptive or degrading depictions of anyone. You are responsible for having rights to reference images you upload.

To report content or an account, email whatimeme.wtf@gmail.com. We may remove content or suspend accounts. Templates may originate from third parties or public sources; you are responsible for how you use what you create.

6. Liability

The Service is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $5 USD. Nothing limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud, death, or personal injury caused by negligence.

7. Changes and governing law

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be posted here with a new date and, for subscribers, notified before the next billing period. These Terms are governed by the laws of Maryland, United States, and Maryland courts have exclusive jurisdiction, without limiting mandatory consumer rights where you live.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

This policy explains what whatimeme collects when you use WhatiMeme at whatimeme.wtf and why. Browsing and manual editing happen in your browser and are not sent to us. AI-assisted actions are different: they send your text and relevant images through our server to xAI. We do not sell personal data or run advertising.

What we collect

  • When you browse: standard web-server logs, including IP address, time, requested page, and user agent, for security and troubleshooting.
  • When you sign in with X: your X account ID, username, display name, and profile-image URL. We do not receive your password or permission to post.
  • When you buy credits: Stripe customer, Checkout, payment and subscription identifiers; purchase and refund records; subscription status; and credit balance and usage history. We never see or store your full card details. Stripe and Link receive billing and tax details directly.
  • When you use AI: your text, selected template, and attached reference images are sent to xAI to produce the requested result. Our operational log contains the time, action type, hashed template identifier, token counts, and cost—not your situation text, captions, prompts, or images.
  • When you submit a public template: the template and information you choose to submit are stored in the shared library. Your browser receives a private management token used for later edits or deletion.

Who receives data

xAI receives content needed for AI actions and may retain API inputs and outputs for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring and auditing; X provides sign-in and learns that you signed in; Stripe and Link provide checkout, receipts, order and subscription management, transaction support, fraud/dispute handling, and tax compliance; and Namecheap hosts the Service. These providers handle data under their own terms and policies. We otherwise disclose data only when legally required.

Legal bases for UK and EU users

We process data to perform our contract by providing requested actions and managing credits; for legitimate interests such as security, abuse prevention, and cost control; and to meet legal obligations such as accounting recordkeeping.

How long we keep data

  • Web-server logs are kept for 30 days.
  • Account and credit records are kept while the account exists, then deleted or de-identified within 30 days after we verify a closure request, except transaction or legal records we must retain.
  • Operational AI usage logs are kept for 90 days.
  • Purchase and accounting records are kept for 7 years.
  • Uploaded reference images are held only for the action and are not retained afterward.

Your choices and rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, a portable copy, or object to processing by emailing whatimeme.wtf@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days. Account closure forfeits unused credits, which are not refundable on voluntary closure. UK and EU users may also complain to their data-protection authority.

Cookies

We use one essential cookie to keep you signed in. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Because the cookie is strictly necessary to provide a requested service, no consent banner is shown.

Children

The Service is not for children under 13 or the minimum age in their country. We do not knowingly collect their data; contact us and we will delete it.

Refund and Cancellation Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

The digital service is supplied by whatimeme. Purchases are sold through Link using Stripe Managed Payments, with Link acting as merchant of record and providing transaction-level payment and subscription support. Refunds are issued through Stripe/Link to the original payment method.

Failed generations are never charged

A credit is deducted only when an action succeeds. Failures, errors, and safety refusals cost nothing. If you believe a failure consumed a credit, email whatimeme.wtf@gmail.com with the approximate time and we will investigate and restore the credit when appropriate.

Credit packs ($5 for 25 credits)

Unused credits qualify for a full refund within 14 days of purchase. Partially used packs qualify within 14 days for a pro-rata refund of unspent credits; delivered generations are not refundable. After 14 days, credits remain usable indefinitely but are no longer refundable.

Subscriptions ($5 per month for 30 credits)

Cancel at any time through the Link account associated with the purchase, available from the account menu or receipt. Cancellation stops future charges, and remaining credits stay available until the paid period ends. Unused subscription credits do not roll over and are not refunded when a period ends.

If you cancel within 14 days of your first payment and used no credits during that period, we will refund it in full. If you used credits, we will refund the unused portion pro rata. Renewals are not refundable once a period begins unless the Service was substantially unavailable.

Statutory rights

This policy is in addition to, and does not limit, statutory rights. Where withdrawal rights apply to digital services, by starting a generation you ask us to supply the service immediately and acknowledge that the withdrawal right is lost for credits already spent.

Chargebacks and refund requests

Contact Link transaction support for disputed charges. For product or credit issues, contact us first so we can investigate. Accounts with an open chargeback may be suspended until it is resolved.

To request product-level help or a refund, use Link transaction support or email whatimeme.wtf@gmail.com with the X account used, purchase date, and reason. We respond within 3 business days. Link may also issue refunds under its Managed Payments terms and policies.

Billing and credits

Your credit balance appears in the header after sign-in. To buy credits or subscribe, visit Pricing. A failed generation should not consume a credit; email us with its approximate time if it did.

To cancel or manage a subscription, use “Manage purchases with Link” from your account. Use the Link account associated with the purchase; your receipt also provides access. Charges may appear as LINK.COM* followed by the configured statement descriptor. Contact Link transaction support about an unrecognized charge, or email us with the statement date and amount for product-level investigation.

Credits are tied to your X account, not your browser. Sign in with the same X account if your balance appears missing.

Content reports

Email us with “Report” in the subject and include a link or description. We review every report and may remove content or suspend accounts. Copyright reports should identify the material, provide your contact information, and include a statement of good-faith belief.

Privacy requests

Email us with “Privacy request” in the subject to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your data. We respond within 30 days. Account and credit records are deleted or de-identified within 30 days after we verify a closure request, except transaction or legal records we must retain.

Memes are how the internet talks to itself.

You've seen them. You've laughed at them. You've probably sent a few. But most of us never stop to ask why a particular picture plus a few words can feel so instantly right — or why the same picture with different words falls completely flat.

This short page teaches you to read memes the way fluent speakers read sentences — then you'll write your own.

Read the 3-minute lesson first

Guided Learn & use a template Pick a proven format, read why it works, fill in the caption areas, and download. Fast, and it teaches you the craft as you go. Choose a template → Free Freestyle Canvas A blank canvas with layers, cropping, unlimited text boxes and your own images. Start from scratch or from a ready-made layout. Open the canvas →

What is a meme?

A meme is not simply “a funny picture with text.” A meme is a pattern that people keep reusing and changing while still recognizing the original. The picture becomes a shared shortcut. New people add new details. The conversation continues.

1 · The template

The recognizable picture. It already carries an emotional tone and a rough situation — you don't invent the feeling, the picture brings it.

2 · The context

The real-world knowledge or shared experience the audience brings. Without overlap, a caption is just words floating on an image.

3 · The variation

Your new caption — the specific detail that plugs into the template's existing situation. The best ones feel surprising and inevitable.

How to read a meme

Before writing one, practice reading. Look at any template and ask three questions:

  1. What is already happening in the picture? What emotion does it suggest with no text at all?
  2. What situation does it usually stand for? Popular templates settle into a “this is the face of…” meaning.
  3. How does the caption play with that situation? Complete it, twist it, escalate it, or make it suddenly personal.

Strong memes rarely fight their own image. The text and the picture agree on the emotional weather — then the text adds the precise storm.

Weak vs. strong

A — weak

“When life is hard”

Could apply to almost anything, so it means almost nothing. Vagueness is the most common way captions fail.

B — stronger

“When your alarm goes off and you realize you already used your one sick day”

Specific, slightly odd, widely felt. Specificity creates recognition — “I thought I was the only one.”

The quick craft rules

  • Respect the zones. Each template expects text in particular places.
  • Match the tone. A smug face wants a smug caption; mismatch and the image argues with the text.
  • Concrete beats abstract. Details create recognition.
  • Compress. If it takes two sentences to explain, it isn't ready.
  • Leave room. Let the reader finish the thought — over-explaining kills it.

Turn a situation into a meme · 1 credit Your words — collaborate with Grok, or let it one-shot the meme.

Turn a situation into a meme

Describe the moment, take, or punchline, then choose how much of the creative process you want Grok to handle.

AI actions send your situation and any reference images used through this server to xAI.

Optional. Up to 2 reference images, used only if Grok decides to swap a face or character. They stay on this device until then.

    You collaborate with Grok. Select a frame from 3 suggestions and review its caption and image-edit suggestions before applying them.

    Grok one-shots the meme. It chooses the frame, writes the captions, and may apply a visual edit.

    Why sign in with X? It identifies your WhatiMeme credit balance. AI runs on WhatiMeme’s xAI API access—not your personal Grok account or usage allowance.

    𝕏 Post Reaction · 1.5 credits Paste a public post — back the take or troll it.

    𝕏 Post Reaction

    Back the take or challenge it. Turn a public X post into an editable reaction meme.

    Paste a public post URL, then choose a reaction. The post URL is sent to xAI.

    Reaction mode

    Meme the News · 2 credits No prompt — Grok picks a story and both takes.

    Meme the News

    No prompt needed. Grok picks a top trending news story, finds two opposing takes, and builds a meme for each side.

      Contribute a meme template

      Submit any meme format to the shared Templates library. Copy a prompt into Grok, paste the answer back, and this page turns it into a working template — caption areas, guidance, and examples.

      When you submit a completed template, its image and template details are saved to this site's shared library. The browser that submits it can manage it later.

      Editing your template

      Change the image, fields, or caption areas below, then save. The template keeps the same id so existing links still work.

      1 Upload the template image

      A blank template — not a finished meme. It stays in this browser while you work; submitting the completed template sends its image and details to this site's shared library.

      or drag one here

      2 Copy the analysis prompt

      This asks Grok for everything the app needs, in a shape it can read back.

      3 Run it in Grok

      1. Open Grok in another tab (you'll need your own account).
      2. Upload the same image there.
      3. Paste the prompt you just copied.
      4. Wait for the full answer.
      5. Copy Grok's entire response.
      6. Come back here.

      4 Paste Grok's response

      Markdown, YAML or JSON all work. Imperfect formatting is fine — anything that can't be read is kept for you to fix by hand.

      5 Check and edit what came back

      6 Place the caption areas

      Drag each box onto the right part of the image, or focus a box and use the arrow keys (hold Shift to resize).

      Edit image with Grok Imagine

      This edits only the selected image layer. Your text, layout, and image frame stay editable. WhatiMeme uses its server-side xAI API access—not your personal Grok usage.

      Up to 2 images of the exact person, character, or object you want used. They are sent with this edit and nowhere else.

        ✦ Grok Imagine is editing the image…

        An educational meme-literacy project. Standard editing happens in your browser; when you choose a Grok action, its prompt and relevant image are sent through our server to xAI. Submitted templates are saved to the shared library. Accounts are used for sign-in, credits, and billing; there is no social feed.
