GitHub - Fredolx/meme-maker: Adding captions to images in one easy command

Adding captions to images in one easy command. Contribute to Fredolx/meme-maker development by creating an account on GitHub.

I made this as a challenge to learn golang. If you ever wanted to make memes without having to use those pesky GUI tools, there you go! The only dependency is lmageMagick and the windows version comes batteries-included.

    Now to just have another tool that randomly selects a template and one which randomly generates a phrase. Run it 200 times and send the best ones to your friends

    Nice creation. I’d recommend packaging the Linux version as tgz instead of zip, as it’s a default compression on Linux systems and will always store the executable flag. Plus that makes it compatible with Github Application Managers like gam.

    Thanks OP! This seems helpful but it also seems you would need to have a folder with a bunch of templates in it already.

    Does anyone know a place where I could download a ton of templates all at once?

    EDIT: I was able to grab about 60 or so images, manually. They’re very low res though - like 250x200px - but something to play around with.

      I actually wanted to add a template command to fetch some templates, I’m not sure if there’s a good source though.

        If there were simple web LLM picture gens you can fetch or run locally without too much of a hustle, it could’ve been nice to pass them a prompt and use the result as a template with an option to save it separately for next memes.

    That’s nice, always wanted to have some cli tool for making memes. Features I’d like

    • Write the text on top of the image, not above it (already asked by others)
    • add a third parameter to be able to add a bottom caption
    • maybe it would be cool to ship with assets of the most known meme templates, either baked in or just as an additional folder, or maybe an online api, lol.
