Demotivational Poster Maker

A dramatic photo, a thin white frame, one word in capitals and a line of pure sarcasm.

About the Demotivational Poster Maker

Demotivational posters parody the inspirational posters that hung in offices in the 1990s, the ones with a mountain photo and the word TEAMWORK. The joke version keeps the serious black frame and elegant serif title, then undercuts it with a gloomy or sarcastic tagline.

Upload any photo and it is framed on black with a thin white border. Type a title and tagline and the poster resizes to fit. It is one of the oldest meme formats on the internet and still a great way to caption a fail photo.

How to use it

  1. Upload a photo.
  2. Write a short title and a sarcastic tagline.
  3. Download the poster as a PNG.
