Canva alternative
Canva offers meme layouts, manual design and AI meme tools. Supermeme focuses on drafting memes from a situation: review the suggested format and caption, edit the wording, then download the image.
Both tools offer AI and manual editing. Use Canva for a wider design and collaboration workspace. Use Supermeme to draft and review the meme image, then place it wherever you need it.

The example above jokes about being drawn to another headline while a post waits to be finished. It was made by editing three labels manually. The scene supplies the distraction; the labels name what is competing for attention.
Check who each character represents. Keep the labels short enough to read at the size you will post. If the joke needs a long explanation, change the wording or choose a different scene.
To make your own version, open the Distracted Boyfriend editor. It starts with three placeholder text layers, not these finished labels.
