Asciimg is a command line tool that displays images in ASCII.
Installation
Assuming that you have already installed npm, in the command line, type either one of the following:
NPM
npm install -g asciimgFrom Source
git clone https://github.com/TheAndroidMaster/Asciimgcd Asciimgnpm installUsage
asciimg <image>
Or, to change the dimensions:
asciimg <image> -h [height] -w [width]
If either the height or width is not specified, asciimg will pick the value that maintains the correct aspect ratio.
If your command line supports rgb color values:
asciimg <image> --usergb
Sample Images
The 'test.png' included in the repository is over 4000000 pixels in size, so it will take a while for the tool to convert it. Here are screenshots of the result of that and a few other images:
