Why does the bubble look grey in the preview?

The preview shows the cut-out over a light grey backing so you can see its shape. In the downloaded PNG the bubble is fully transparent, so it takes on the colour of whatever sits behind the image in apps and pages that keep PNG transparency.

Why does the bubble show as a solid colour in a chat app?

Some chat apps convert images to JPEG, which has no transparency, so the bubble shows as a solid colour there. Set Speech bubble to White if you want the same look everywhere.

Can I download it as a JPG?

Yes, but JPG has no transparency, so the cut-out bubble comes out white. Choose PNG to keep it transparent.

Can I add captions and change the font?

Yes. Captions, fonts and colours work as on the main meme generator, and everything stays in this browser.

Can I make a speech bubble GIF?

No. This tool exports a still PNG or JPG image, not an animation.

I need a speech bubble on its own, not cut into a picture.

Use the Speech Bubble PNG maker, which draws a separate bubble with your text on a transparent background.
