ASCII Art Maker
ASCII Art Maker is a simple application that can help you convert images into ASCII text. It is available for all Windows versions and can be downloaded free of charge from the internet.
This utility allows you to create ASCII graphics from your personal collection of pictures and texts. It also comes with some basic features that can be useful for beginners.
Moreover, the program is portable so you can save it on USB flash drives or any other portable devices to be used on the go. You can also install it on a remote computer without needing to be an administrator.
The program consists of three main parts, the image input area, ASCII art settings section and the output area. The latter is where you can preview the generated ASCII art and adjust the X and Y scale values.
It also offers a few filter presets for you to use, and a slider that can vary the intensity of the texts that are used in the ASCII art. You can use this to make the output art less congested, as fewer texts will be used.
This is a very useful program, especially if you want to create an interesting ASCII art from your photos. It re-creates the pseudo-images of the original photos, preserving their depth illusion, and it is easy to work with thanks to real time previews. Besides, it supports a variety of input files and can export black/white or full color art in plain text, html, tif and rtf formats.
