What is meme.net.im?
A free meme generator and GIF maker built from real video. Clip a cool moment from any video playing in your browser, caption it, and share a fast, searchable looping clip — no plugin, no download, no GIF-maker app.
Make a meme from any video
See a moment you want — a stream, a movie scene, a game, a clip on another site? Open Create, share the browser tab you're watching it in, play the moment, and hit Record. Drag to crop, trim the ends, add a caption, and publish. We do the rest.
Real video, not a 1987 GIF
Old GIFs are huge and look bad. Behind the scenes every clip is transcoded into a modern
looping video that loads fast and looks sharp, while still giving you a real
.gif to drop into chats that only autoplay GIFs (Discord, Signal, and friends).
Search cool clips by the words in them
Clips are indexed by what's in them — the text on screen and what's happening — so you can search for the meme you remember, or just browse what's new. Like one? Remix it: re-trim, re-crop, and re-caption any clip into a new meme of your own.

Frequently asked questions
- What is meme.net.im?
- meme.net.im is a free online meme generator and GIF maker. You clip a cool moment from any video playing in your browser, crop and caption it, and share it as a fast looping clip. Every public clip is searchable by the text in it.
- How do I make a meme or GIF from a video?
- Open Create, share the browser tab the video is playing in, and press Record when the moment happens. Drag to crop, trim the start and end, add a caption, and publish. You get a page link, an MP4, and a real .gif file. No plugin, extension, or download is required.
- Is meme.net.im free?
- Yes. Making, hosting, searching, and sharing clips on meme.net.im is free.
- Why are the clips video files instead of GIFs?
- GIF is a 1987 format: a 5 MB GIF is often a 400 KB MP4 at better quality. Every clip is transcoded to modern looping video so it loads fast and looks sharp. A real .gif is still generated for chat apps like Discord and Signal that only autoplay GIF files.
- How does search work?
- Clips are indexed by the words on screen (OCR), an AI description of what is happening, and your tags — so you can find a meme by the text in it, not just its title. Search is typo-tolerant.
- Can I remix someone else's clip?
- Yes. Any public clip can be remixed: re-trim it, re-crop it, and add your own caption to make a new meme. The original stays untouched.
- Can I use these clips in Discord, Slack, or Signal?
- Yes. Paste the page link for an inline preview with a play button, or the .gif link where the app only autoplays GIFs. Both are on every clip page.
