107 iconic meme templates, restored

After my last startup failed, I went back to the corporate world — and that failed too.

Not financially, but I couldn't deal with the damn politics.

So I stepped back and asked myself what I really wanted:
To build something on my own again. Just a simple product that solves a clear problem (and hopefully makes people smile).

That’s how Meme Studio started.

I’ve been creating memes, but every meme started with the same pain:
Finding a clean, high-quality version of that template.

Most are scattered across random corners of the internet. Blurry, watermarked, poorly cropped.

So I fixed that.

🔍 I collected 107 of the most iconic meme templates
🎨 Used AI tools to restore, upscale, or recreate them
👨‍💻 Wrapped everything in a fast, free meme generator

I built it solo: Frontend: Vanilla JS + Firebase in the front, Node.js + Firebase in the back.

It’s live now — I’d love your feedback, questions, or thoughts:
👉 Meme Studio

Have you ever revisited indie building after a failed startup? Or after leaving the 9-to-5 again?
