    PicAscii.com - Life Into ASCII

    picascii

    Picascii is a straightforward site that allows you to convert pictures into cool looking ASCII code. How many times have you come across ASCII code pictures and you wondered, “Oh wow, I wonder how someone can have so much time and dedication to create something like that”? Well, now all of this has changed. With the nifty little web app that they have created at picascii, it’s now possible to upload a picture from your computer, or any lined picture and by simply clicking on “generate” the site will process the image, convert it to ASCII code and return the result to you in a matter of seconds.

    The results themselves are actually pretty accurate and they look really good. Also, you have the option of making colored ASCII pictures which is a rare feature to be found in ASCII pictures. There is also a “size” parameter which you may adjust which will vary how fine or coarse the picture will be generated.

    When you are done with generating, you can collect the returned image either in text or in HTML if you want to use color.

    In their own words

    'It's firstly fun :) the picture will look different when you will change size... It's simple to copy and paste the code of a 'virtual picture', into your blog. Remember it's ALWAYS TEXT, HTML :) that represents a picture. Exactly, the picture sequence will be converted into ASCII codes. This code was created to represent text in computer with 128 characters. Your picture after been generated, will be represented as plain Text or as Html Code. Html code is like plain Text but could contain color or not and have tags.'

    Why it might be a killer

    The application works very well.

    Some questions

    How will it keep bringing people back to the site once they have generated their pictures since it doesn't have any other content?
