Memers, teach us to fish! There have to be better options than meme generator. And chatgpt makes all sorts of terrible suggestions.
Help us help Lemmy oh wise ones! Pointing to solid resources, apps, tools or anything else…
I use a lot of things. PowerPoint is actually pretty useful. Your phone’s native photo editor may have some good tools. I have a few phone apps that give me a little more control over layering photos, making PNGs/removing backgrounds, adding text and drawings, etc. Gimp is a free photoshop alternative but I rarely use that. Is there a specific function or tool you are looking for? Also, are you looking for the concept of how to meme or just tools? How to meme is somewhat of a broader topic, but I think if you had to boil it down it’s placing something in a different perspective or with a particular emphasis, typically that makes it humorous.
I suppose I’m just looking for fast and dirty ways to say, cut out faces/images and put them into classic memes or traditional pictures etc. Ideally that can be done during a poop.
Snapchat used to have that feature with the Stickers function but I deleted it once an account was required to use it. iPhone photos has a function that detects people, you can get a PNG of a person out of a photo and crop it. Apart from that I’m not sure what’s out there that can be done while on the pot- I too would like to know what folks have to recommend. You could try cropping out a face and using a background removal tool/app, and then using a photo layer app for the rest, is how I would approach it.
I’ve always made my stuff from scratch in Photoshop. Meme formats are very simple so they’re easy to create with just basic knowledge. If you don’t have Photshop, there’s Photopea, a very good free online Photoshop clone.
Thanks for the photopea link! I’m probably looking for something that works on a phone so I can do it at work, in transit etc. But for more interesting 'shops photopea seems great!
if you want the kind with a gif/image and a simple caption on the top, theres are discord bots that do that such as Assyst if you’re ok with using discord
I’m shite at discord but slowly, despite my best efforts, learning! I’ll look into assyst, thanks!
