I would like to convert a photo into Ascii art. I want to reproduce the effect shown here: http://purtyy.com/?/web/darevancouver/
What's the best way of doing this? I have tried some of the online Photo-to-Ascii services, but the outputted images are too big, so the text is too tiny.
The services I have tried are: http://www.text-image.com/convert/ascii.html http://www.glassgiant.com/ascii/ http://photo2text.com/Default.aspx
Is there a better way?
I had to look up an archive of your link, but I see the effect you're after. Try this ascii art generator. You can control output size, character set, contrast, even shape accuracy, and when it's just right you can save to an image.
