I’ve done god only knows how many searches looking for a solution to this with no joy so any help you can offer would be great.

I’m after an image editor that has the following:

  1. Must be PHP or JavaScript (even jQuery) or some combo of the two
  2. Must allow images to be uploaded
  3. Must allow text to be dynamically added, resized, color changed and positioned
  4. Must allow fonts to be chosen from a list of fonts I upload to the server, not the basic browser fonts or Google Fonts etc.
  5. Must allow generation and download of new image based on the old image + the added text

This is for my users, none of whom are experienced enough to do offline image editing.

    Very comparable. There’s nothing wrong with getting a whole box of tools for free even if you just need a single screwdriver. Open image in GIMP, text tool, done.

      Sorry, I don’t want to be rude but youre talking rubbish.

      Getting all of them to install a big offline application with an interface that is totally new to them and will require a substantial learning curve if there’s a possible solution that allows them to simply and easily do the only thing they need is ridiculous.

        I think there’s a misunderstanding. What you’re talking about OP is the interface, what the others are talking about is the location. You’re not talking about the same thing, hence you’re not understanding them.

        Both sides are use the term offline/online, tho its meaning is not looks but instead location

          I asked for help in a self-hosting community. How could my desired location be misunderstood by anyone with an IQ above 10?

          This little side -journey has been a complete waste of time. All I wanted was a recommendation or two relevant to things I needed which I clearly explained in my post. Instead I got told I was making no sense and should use third party solutions which is a remarkable thing to read in a self hosting community where I would assume most people realise others want y’know to self host.

          If people don’t have relevant recommendations they could’ve just said that or even better, say nothing.

        Well, if you’re that set on it, it’s simple enough of a concept that you could probably write it yourself.

          Thanks to the one person who actually posted something on topic I’ve found a few things I can modify.
