Self hosted image editor? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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.

What doesn't make sense about it? They don't have the knowledge to use an offline image editor so I'd like to offer them the ability to make very simple changes to an image. Photopea is beyond what they need and would no doubt be equally confusing for them.

What doesn't make sense is your use of the term "offline editor" - it's entirely nonsensical in this context. If they can't use an offline editor, they won't be any better with an online editor. It's like saying you need a 4 door car because you can't drive a 2 door car - it's the same thing with more seats. Photo editing is photo editing regardless of where the software is hosted.

What on earth are you talking about? How is an offline editor like Photoshop or GIMP in any way comparable to a simple app like the one i described in my post, that simply allows a user to add text to an image?

He's saying you'd probably have more luck finding any simplified photo editor, rather than limiting yourself to just hosted. Something like MS Paint or KolourPaint but I don't believe they will let you rotate text.
