How to Convert Photos into ASCII Art

Filed under: Software — Laura Moncur @ 5:00 am

Photo2TextType class was my first introduction to ASCII art. After hours of “Type X 15, O 2, X 15…” I would end up with a Christmas Tree on my sheet of paper. There was no backspace on my mom’s old typewriter. If I screwed up, I had to start all over and the teacher could tell at a glance if I had done everything correctly.

Now, all you have to do is upload your photo to Photo2Text and they’ll do all the work for you.

This is really cool, but I have yet to upload a photo yet. Maybe I’m worried that some poor school girl in India will have to do the conversion on an old IBM Selectric.
