memegen-rs

Generate memes by building a URL against https://memegen.rs. The response is the image itself - nothing to install, no account, no request body. The same URL always returns the same image, so a meme link is stable and shareable.

Build a captioned meme

https://memegen.rs/images/{template}/{line1}/{line2}.png

Encode the caption text into each path segment:

• Separate caption lines with /.
• Replace each space with _.
• Replace a literal underscore with __.
• Use _ alone for a blank line.

Examples

• Two-line Drake meme:

https://memegen.rs/images/drake/writing_a_parser/just_using_a_url.png

• "X everywhere" (Buzz), top and bottom:

https://memegen.rs/images/buzz/memes/memes_everywhere.png

• Blank template, no caption:

https://memegen.rs/images/drake.png

• Caption any image on the web:

https://memegen.rs/images/custom/one_does_not_simply/use_a_database.png?background=https://example.com/photo.jpg

• Animated GIF output (templates whose source is an animated GIF):

https://memegen.rs/images/fry/not_sure_if_static/or_animated.gif

Options (query parameters)

• style - alternate background variant for the template
• layout=top - place all captions at the top
• width, height - pad to a fixed size with a blurred letterbox
• color - text fill color (name or hex)

Limits. These return 422 with a JSON {"error": "..."} body: width or height above 2048, or a custom background that is not a PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, or is above 10 MiB or 4096x4096 pixels. A custom background over 2048 pixels on a side is scaled down to fit 2048x2048, and layout=top draws only the first 32 lines.

Find templates

• Every template with its id, name, line count, and an example URL: GET https://memegen.rs/templates
• A single template: GET https://memegen.rs/templates/{id}

Full reference

The complete, machine-readable contract - every endpoint, parameter, and schema - is the OpenAPI spec: https://memegen.rs/openapi.json.

Tip

Return the meme as a clickable link rather than pasting the raw URL into chat.
