Gimp/krita/script it with imagemagick/python + pillow

Unless there's something I'm missing, its just text on an image. Any editor will do.

    It's mostly about ease of use. You don't really want to spend more than a few minutes on a silly meme. As such, having a database with meme templates, the right kind of font and easy text placement, can make the difference, whether you'll bother creating a meme or not...

    Sincerely a selfhostable service to create memes using a base image you choose from like a dropdown or something, some text, and some basic positioning could be nice, with the option to add new images on the fly. I'd definitely use it, so that I don't upload my own photos to someone's server.
