          Oh no! Not a means for a sole developer of a robust, web-based photo editor to make some sort of a living.

          The fucking travesty of it all.

          Listen, it sucks that it’s not open source and that it is now ad-sponsored but the fact remains that there are shockingly poor FOSS alternatives to creative tools (blender is probably one of the few exceptions) and gimp is firmly in that ‘shockingly poor’ category.

          It’s okay to be critical of an open source project and use something that may be proprietary. The world isn’t going to blow up because of it.

            poor FOSS alternatives

            So you’d rather have ADs in place of a Layers panel?


            For those who can't read between the lines

            The fact that it has ADs, is also considered as one of the factors deciding its quality.
            And so is the fact that it can’t be run when the internet connectivity is slow/non-existent.
            Not considering those features as factors while judging the application just gives incentive to everyone else (including the prepaid ones) to include ADs in their UX.

            If this is how we promote them, soon, you’ll be seeing ADs (on top of the Subscription fees) in Adobe software.
            - Hard to believe? Look at Windows.

    Fun fact, some meme generator websites use HTML canvas to show you a preview

    Funner fact, you can right click on the canvas and select “copy image” to get a watermark free image (in my experience using imgflip at least)

      Photo pea if you need it on your phone.

      I don’t get it. Is the default Android app not good enough to do that stuff on Mobile?
      If you are using Linux phone, you have KolourPaint,

      And if you can build yourself, then you potentially have KolourPaint on Android too.

    For those pixel (may be all android ?) users wanting a super easy way…

    Make the meme, but before clicking generate, swipe to screenshot. You will get the android “do you want just the image” box which keys you copy/save without the watermark
