An image macro is a picture with digitally superimposed text, often for humorous effect. On internet forums and imageboards, image macros are used to emphasize a certain phrase (often a meme) by superimposing it over a related picture. Although they come in many forms, the most common type of image macro is a photograph with large text superimposed in Impact font, using all upper case letters and coloured white with a thin black outline.
