Are you saying you download and resize on an image program like paint, gimp, or photoshop? I download small images from Google Images and use the the method outlined about to resize them on imgflip, no extra programs or applications needed.
Hey, new users... 1. You can make your meme larger if you start with a larger template (like Ancient Aliens) and click "add image" then "inside current image."; 2. Then you can upload the image you want to use for your meme or search the images already on the site in the "search memes" bar. 3. Be sure to check the box that says "Include User Templates" so you can search all the available images. 4. Then you can stretch your chosen image to fit the larger template. Then add text and we will be able to read it. 5. Be sure to give your commenters upvotes!
