ascii-image-converter

Convert an image into ASCII. More information: https://github.com/TheZoraiz/ascii-image-converter#cli-usage.

• Convert an image into ASCII:

ascii-image-converter {{path/to/image|URL}}

• Colorize the output:

ascii-image-converter {{[-C|--color]}} {{path/to/image|URL}}

• Create a tresholded image using braille (if the image is barely visible, try changing the terminal font):

ascii-image-converter {{[-b|--braille]}} {{path/to/image|URL}}

• Create a dithered image using braille (if the image is barely visible, try changing the terminal font):

ascii-image-converter {{[-b|--braille]}} --dither {{path/to/image|URL}}

• Display the image with negative colors:

ascii-image-converter {{[-Cn|--color --negative]}} {{path/to/image|URL}}

• Use a wider range of characters to display an image (may improve image accuracy):

ascii-image-converter {{[-c|--complex]}} {{path/to/image|URL}}
