How to Add Captions and Music to Meme Videos

If you’re posting memes as videos — on TikTok, Reels, or Shorts — captions and music are key. Without them, your memes lose half their punch. Here’s a simple guide to adding both, whether you’re editing manually or using our AI-powered meme tool.

Why Add Captions to Meme Videos?

• 60%+ of users watch muted. If they can’t read it, they scroll past it.
• Captions increase engagement and retention. Especially when they’re synced with visuals or voiceover.
• It makes your meme “readable” to the algorithm (via auto-captioning tech).

How to Add Captions Manually

1. Use free apps like CapCut, InShot, or Premiere Rush
2. Manually type your text and time it to audio or visuals
3. Use bold, sans-serif fonts (Bebas Neue, Impact, Anton)
4. Position text where it won’t clash with platform UI

OR: Use Our Meme Generator (It’s Faster)

Our meme builder lets you add timed captions automatically. Just enter your text and it’ll sync to your voiceover or visual beats. No timeline editing needed.

How to Add Music or TTS Audio

Good audio makes memes viral. Add the right song, or better, a cursed TTS voice, and you’re golden.

Manual Method

• Download music from royalty-free sites (or TikTok library)
• Use video editors to layer music under your meme
• Match volume levels so speech/text aren’t drowned out

Or: Use AI Voiceover in 1 Click

Our meme platform comes with built-in TTS voices — including the viral “broken Italian narrator” or deep robotic absurdist tones. You just type, we speak. No DAW or audio editor needed.

What’s the Best Font for Meme Captions?

Bold sans-serifs like Anton, Impact, Bebas Neue, Helvetica Now work best. Make sure they’re readable at small sizes and high contrast (white text + black outline = default safe).
