PSMemeGenerator

A PowerShell-powered meme generator for engineers who prefer pipelines over Photoshop. Generate, customize, and automate memes straight from the terminal. Perfect for CI jokes, release sarcasm, and infrastructure humor. Because if the build breaks, at least the meme deploys successfully.

About

PSMemeGenerator is a PowerShell module that generates memes straight from the terminal. It fetches templates from the Imgflip API, overlays top/bottom text using System.Drawing, and saves the result as a JPEG — no browser or image editor required.

Why PSMemeGenerator?

PSMemeGenerator is designed for engineers who live in the terminal. It simplifies meme creation by integrating directly into PowerShell pipelines, so you can automate, script, and compose memes the same way you do everything else. Perfect for CI jokes, release notes, incident post-mortems, and general infrastructure sarcasm.

Note: Requires Windows OS — text rendering depends on System.Drawing (GDI+).

Example Output

New-Meme -Name 'Distracted Boyfriend' -TopText 'Pull requests' -BottomText 'Pushing directly to main' -OutputPath '.\pushing_directly_to_main.jpg'

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

Required:

• PowerShell 7.0+
