The video is five seconds: your photo turns grey and the words hit, with our own sound. The green screen video keys out in CapCut, Premiere or any editor.
What is You Died Generator?
You Died Generator puts the screen every soulslike player knows on your own photo: the picture darkens, a black band fades in and YOU DIED rises slowly in red. Write your own words for any defeat ("MONDAY DEFEATED YOU"), or turn it into a victory with the golden Noun Verbed screen ("HOMEWORK DONE", "COFFEE OBTAINED") and the Elden Ring style Enemy Felled.
Three screens
- You Died: red capitals on a soft black band over a dark, faded photo.
- Noun Verbed: the golden victory text of the Dark Souls games, for any small win, the format behind the "Noun Verbed" meme.
- Enemy Felled: gold letters with a glow and fine gold lines, as in Elden Ring.
How to use You Died Generator?
- Choose a screen: You Died, Noun Verbed or Enemy Felled.
- Choose your photo or your video, or start with a sample photo. With a video, choose the moment it freezes on.
- Type your words; they are set in capitals and fitted to the width.
- Drag the words up or down, frame the photo and pick a shape.
- Play the slow fade, then download the image, the video with sound, the GIF or the green screen video.
Frequently asked questions
What is the YOU DIED meme?
YOU DIED is the death screen of Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the other FromSoftware games, famous because players see it so often. It became a meme for any failure, and the games' victory texts, like "VICTORY ACHIEVED" and "HUMANITY RESTORED", turned into the "Noun Verbed" format for small wins.
Which font is it?
The letters use Cinzel, a free typeface drawn after classical Roman capitals, close to the games' lettering. The sound is our own low drone and gong made in your browser, not a recording from the games. This fan-made tool is not affiliated with FromSoftware or Bandai Namco.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything is made in your browser and your photo stays on your device. The sample photos are from Wikimedia Commons under free licences, credited under the preview.
Can I make GTA screens too?
Yes: the GTA Wasted Generator makes Wasted and Busted, and the Mission Passed Generator makes "mission passed" and "mission failed".
