What Meme Generator is
Meme Generator is a free web application for creating memes by adding text to images. You can choose an image from your device, provide a web image URL, or start with a template from its gallery, which includes Matrix Morpheus, Drake Hotline Bling, and Distracted Boyfriend. The app can also use a photo taken with your device’s web camera or a solid-color background. It provides controls to generate, download, and share a finished meme. The app is described as a Progressive Web App and uses the Canvas API to draw text on images. Its README and live app say image and text processing takes place in the browser, with no data sent to a server. The Free plan costs nothing, and the project is licensed under the MIT License. Meme Generator runs on the web; it does not create GIFs or video memes, provide AI generation, or offer mobile apps.
