Before you save or share
Privacy and storage
Different parts of Meme Maker Lab store images in different places. This page explains the choices in the editor.
Your own images
Images selected in the custom image editor are processed in your browser. Saving a device draft stores the image and caption settings in that browser profile, rather than your account. Clearing browser data removes these drafts. Anyone using the same browser profile may be able to open them.
Downloading creates a file on your device. Choosing Share image passes that file to the destination you select.
Templates, public images, and remix links
Template previews and exports can send captions and rendering settings to the image service. Generated image URLs and remix links are public links: anyone who has one can view its contents. Remix links include the captions and editing settings in the URL and let the recipient make another version.
Private account storage does not make a separately shared image URL or remix link private. Avoid putting passwords, customer details, or other private information in captions you render or share.
Optional accounts
Accounts store a username, a password hash, recovery information, and saved template memes on the server. A session cookie keeps you logged in. Saved memes in your account library require authentication; signing out ends access from that session.
You do not need an account to use the editors or download an image.
Usage measurement and error reports
When enabled, usage measurement records actions such as page visits, downloads, and remix-link copies with anonymous browser identifiers. It groups visits by a fixed set of sources and page categories, plus sanitized page addresses, referrer domains, and browser/device categories. Query strings, fragments, and private path segments are removed. It is configured to exclude captions, account credentials, full page URLs, and raw referrer URLs from analytics events, and to disable session recordings.
Analytics honors the browser's Do Not Track setting. Anonymous measurement identifiers may be stored in browser storage. Error reporting is separate and is configured to remove request contents and user-supplied details. Network and hosting services still receive information needed to deliver requests, including the requested URL and network address.
