MemeGen

Very Simple Meme Generator

Introduction

Memegen is a very simple CLI program that can write text on a picture you provide, either on top, bottom or both. It supports font loading, font sizing, will word-wrap properly if the text is too long. Just a little project for fun mostly.

In order for this to work, you'll need to download fonts or specify the path of the .ttf font you wish to use (that is installed on your system). For example you can create the fonts/ directory and download the impact font in it.
