Meme Search
Search thousands of memes, GIFs and stickers for any mood or moment. Copy, download, or look up where a meme comes from. Clean results by default.
Trending GIFs
“What’s this meme?” searches Know Your Meme for its origin.
How to use the Meme Search
- Type a word or mood into the search box (monday, deadline, chai) and press Search, or tap one of the mood chips underneath.
- Choose GIFs (shown first), Memes or Stickers. With nothing searched, you see what is trending for that kind.
- Tap any result to open it, then press Copy image, Download or Copy link.
- Press What’s this meme? to look up its origin on Know Your Meme, or tap one of its tags to find similar ones.
- Scroll to the bottom and press Load more when you want more results.
Good to know
- Keep it clean is ticked by default. Untick it for edgier results, but look through them before sharing in a work group.
- Some words have only a handful of memes. GIFs and stickers usually have more, and the tool offers a button to switch when results are thin.
- Copy image isn’t offered for GIFs because browsers can only put still pictures on the clipboard. Use Download or Copy link to share a GIF.
- Looking for a meme you half-remember? Describe what you can see, not what it means: “man looking back at another woman” finds the format faster than “jealous”.
- Most meme formats go by a short nickname, like distracted boyfriend, this is fine or woman yelling at cat. Type any part of it you remember.
- Memes here are still pictures. Reaction clips from shows and films are under GIFs.
- Short, simple words work best: “awkward” finds more than a full sentence. Indian searches like cricket, bollywood and diwali are in the mood chips.
- Memes belong to their creators. A reaction GIF in a comment or chat is everyday use, but get permission or legal advice before putting one in a paid ad.
Questions
How do I search for memes?
Type a word or mood (monday, awkward, deadline) into the search box and press Search, or tap a mood chip. Pick Memes, GIFs or Stickers above the results. It is a free meme search engine with no app or sign-up, and it works the same on a phone.
How do I find a meme I can’t remember the name of?
Describe the picture in a few plain words (who is in it, what they are doing) and press Search. Open the closest match to see its title and tags, then search those to narrow it down. Most formats go by a short nickname, like distracted boyfriend or this is fine.
Can I search for a meme by uploading the picture?
Not here: this searches by words. To identify a picture you already have, use a reverse image search such as Google Lens or Bing Visual Search, then search its name here to find versions to copy or download.
How do I find a GIF from a TV show or film?
Type the show or film and the moment under GIFs, for example “office no” or “friends pivot”. Character names and famous lines usually work better than describing the scene.
Is this like Giphy or Tenor?
It works like a GIF search, but memes, GIFs and stickers are in one place, results are kept clean by default, and each meme can be looked up on Know Your Meme. There is nothing to install.
Where do the memes and GIFs come from?
Results come from the KLIPY library of memes, GIFs and stickers. Your search goes through Samchive’s own small server to KLIPY, and the images load from KLIPY.
Is Meme Search free, and is anything personal sent?
It is free with no account. Only your search word, the kind you picked and a random ID made in your browser go to KLIPY, so it can keep result lists apart. No name, email or login is involved.
How do I find out what a meme is called and where it came from?
Open the meme and press What’s this meme? It searches Know Your Meme using the meme’s title, where most popular formats have a page with their name, origin and how they spread.
How do I copy a GIF to paste in WhatsApp or Slack?
Open it and press Copy link, then paste the link, or press Download to save the file and attach it. Copying the picture itself only works for memes and stickers.
Can brands use memes in Instagram posts or ads?
Memes are usually built on someone else’s photo or film still, so the rights belong to others. Brands often use them in organic posts, but for ads and paid campaigns it is safer to make your own version or get permission.
Why do I get no results for my search?
Try a simpler or shorter word, untick Keep it clean, or switch to GIFs or Stickers. If the library can’t be reached, wait a minute and search again.
