A free and open source REST API for programmatically generating meme images from URLs, built with Python, Sanic, and Pillow. It is stateless, so all template, text, and styling information is encoded in the request URL, and it can be self-hosted or used via the hosted instance at api.memegen.link.
Use cases
- generate meme images from a URL for a chat bot
- add meme generation to my web app via an API
- programmatically create memes with custom text and templates
- self-host a meme generator API
- render memes as png jpg gif or webp with custom dimensions
When to choose
- you need meme image generation via simple stateless URLs
- you want a self-hostable image generation service with an OpenAPI spec
- you need multiple output formats including animated GIF and WebP
When to avoid
- you need general-purpose image editing beyond meme templates
- you need a GUI meme maker rather than a programmatic API
- you need offline generation without running a server or calling the hosted API
