im2ascii is a small python script that converts images to ascii-art.
Unlike common ascii-art generators, it does not only use each character's mean brightness, but matches the full character shape.

Pro: Better ascii-art quality
(see screenshots for examples)
Con: Matching is very resource intensive

Dependencies: Python 2.7, PIL, numpy, scipy

Features

  • Converts images to beautiful ascii-art
  • Advanced preprocessing for natural images
  • Highly customizable preprocessing and matching algorithm
