I’ve done god only knows how many searches looking for a solution to this with no joy so any help you can offer would be great.

I’m after an image editor that has the following:

  1. Must be PHP or JavaScript (even jQuery) or some combo of the two
  2. Must allow images to be uploaded
  3. Must allow text to be dynamically added, resized, color changed and positioned
  4. Must allow fonts to be chosen from a list of fonts I upload to the server, not the basic browser fonts or Google Fonts etc.
  5. Must allow generation and download of new image based on the old image + the added text

This is for my users, none of whom are experienced enough to do offline image editing.

    This statement doesn’t make any sense. You seem to be looking for a open-source version of Photopea because GIMP / Paint.net is hard to use? lol

      Based on the description OP wants a selfhosted meme generator.

        Kind of. But it wouldn’t be for memes. So that functionality but not that purpose.

        Edit: using that as a search phrase has given me a lot of options that I can fork. Thanks for putting the idea in my head :)

      What doesn’t make sense about it? They don’t have the knowledge to use an offline image editor so I’d like to offer them the ability to make very simple changes to an image. Photopea is beyond what they need and would no doubt be equally confusing for them.

    I’m interested to see what hosted options are out there as well.

    If you’re willing to consider alternatives, take a look at Greenshot. It’s a free and open source local program that takes a screenshot which allows you to edit it directly and copy the image to clipboard without saving.

    It includes the ability to add text, blur out parts, crop, draw arrows. Just press print screen to capture an image.
