ASCII Paint
An ASCII Image to text converter made by Kirill Live which is surprisingly simple but effective
This is a slightly adapted version of the ASCII Art Paint project on GitHub made by Kirill Live. His work is absolutely incredible and includes an almost unbelievable amount of functionality for a single file of html, css, and js which is 21kb when compressed
Usage:
Drag and drop to open a file. The save/load format is txt for maximum compatibility. The image loaded in the editor will be used as a bitmap template. The template can automatically generate an ASCII form, or be used as a reference example to draw manually. You can choose from the symbol palette, or load multiple fonts from .tff, .woff, and . woff2 files and use them instead of the default one.
You can use the options of the right panel to control exactly how the image is converted into symbols. Which characters, what brightness/contrast to map each pixel to, and the size can be modified as well
Of course, there is also a built-in text editor to edit directly as text
Further information can be found on Kirill’s GitHub page
