A real-time studio that turns images, GIFs, live video and text into pure ASCII, Unicode & Braille — tune it, animate it, then export it right back out.
Drop any image and watch it resolve into glyphs as you tune resolution, contrast, brightness and inversion — live.
Decode every frame of an animated GIF, play it back as ASCII, scrub and tune it, then re-encode a brand-new GIF.
Classic ramps, dense detail, Unicode blocks, high-res Braille, or define your own custom character set.
Point your camera and become ASCII in real time — mirrored, tunable, and running entirely in your browser.
One context-aware menu: copy to clipboard or save as .txt, .png, or a looping animated .gif.
Bring ASCII back in. Load a frames file, play it, retune it, and re-export it — losslessly.
Each source frame is drawn to a canvas and down-sampled to a grid of cells at your chosen resolution.
Per-cell luminance is curved through brightness & contrast, then matched to a glyph in the active ramp.
Glyphs paint to screen — optionally tinted by the source pixel — ready to copy, export, or animate.
No signup. No upload. Everything runs right here in your browser.
