REAL-TIME IMAGE→ASCII

        
Drop any image and watch it resolve into glyphs as you tune resolution, contrast, brightness and inversion.

      

      

        
GIF IN & OUT

        
Decode every frame of an animated GIF, play it back as ASCII, scrub and tune it, then re-encode a brand-new GIF.

      

      

        
FIVE GLYPH SYSTEMS

        
Classic ramps, dense detail, Unicode blocks, high-res Braille, or define your own custom character set.

      

      

        
LIVE WEBCAM

        
Point your camera and become ASCII in real time. Mirrored, tunable, and running entirely in your browser.

      

      

        
EXPORT ANYTHING

        
Copy, or save as .txt, .png or a looping .gif, even runnable terminal code for Python, JS & more.

      

      

        
IMPORT & ROUND-TRIP

        
Bring ASCII back in. Load a frames file, play it, retune it, and re-export it losslessly.
