What you can do

  • Convert images or videos into interactive ASCII art
  • Choose character sets: Standard, Blocks, Minimal, Detailed, High-contrast, or your own Custom set
  • Pre-process imagery with contrast, brightness, and saturation before ASCII mapping
  • Apply color schemes: Original, Monochrome, Sepia, Neon, Matrix, Blue/Orange, Rainbow
  • Pick a background color or keep it transparent
  • Animate with mouse interaction: radius, intensity, damping, return speed, and optional “jiggle”
  • Toggle a small watermark
  • Export options:
    • Self-contained HTML (embed anywhere)
    • PNG/JPG snapshot
    • Video: WebM/MP4 (FPS and duration controls, with progress bar)
    • Animated: GIF, WebP, or AVIF

Tip: For best results with video, prefer short clips and moderate FPS. If a remote URL doesn’t load, it’s usually a CORS policy— upload the file instead.
