OpenMemer

A simple, free, open-source meme generator with no watermarks, no ads, lightweight and fully client-side.

Make your own meme here

Features

• Classic Impact-style meme text (white fill, black stroke)
• Top and bottom captions with live preview
• Multiline wrapping for long captions
• Export as PNG — completely client-side
• No accounts, no ads, no bullshit

To-Do list

This is stuff I have to do in order to get the minimum viable product done.

• Mobile layout
• Mobile layout that isn't horrible
• Demotivational poster mode
• GIF / animated caption support
• Drag 'n drop mode
• Drag-to-position text

Stretch Goals

I want OpenMemer to become the ultimate shitposting suite. For that to be accomplished, I want to add the following:

Audio support

• Low quality sound (low bitrate converter)
• "Earrape" audio (distortion/amplification)
• Regular pitch shifts
• "Griffin method" (Capcut's "Beat" feature, where you can pitch shift with keyframes. Probably won't be able to implement this)

Image editing

• Low quality/bitcrusher
• Deepfry
• Filters?
• Stickers
• Meme formats that are updated regularly.
• Blur effects

Maybe eventually, video support can also get added. This is definitely not planned, but could potentially come in the future.

Self-Hosting

You can easily self-host OpenMemer using Docker.

1. Clone the repository
2. Run with Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up -d

3. Visit http://localhost:8080
