Small Image ASCII Art Generator
At Typorganism there’s a fascinating little tool that will take JPEGs sized 60×50 pixels and turn them into either letter or block style ASCII art in either color or black and white.
There are five sample faces you can play with to get a feel for what the tool can do: 3 male faces, one female face and one cat face.
There is also a picture upload option. I played with this tool for a moment and of course I had the perfect sample picture to test the tool’s limits.
I found the “Generate HTML” option slightly desceptive. Selecting this option with the color and square options will open a new window with a JPEG output of the Flash-generated image. Which is great for saving, but not “true” ASCII. However, if you opt for the letters option, this tool will definitely deliver!
Forgive the display, I can’t quite make it work the way I want. Below the cut to hide my shame.
