# ascii-converter

[中文](README_cn.md)

## Introduction

This is an ASCII art converter I developed on my own, which can convert any pictures and videos to ASCII art images, texts and videos.

You can select the path of the image or video file you want to convert by the system's own file browser box.

Support outputting pictures as new picture/text files after conversion.

The video will be output directly as ASCII character picture video after conversion, at the same time, it will output each frame of the converted video within the specified frame number in a folder under the path of the software.

You can choose the range of frames you want to convert and the number of frames of the output video, set the scaling ratio and the font type and size of the picture or video frames.

Besides, there are many other parameters that can be set.

You can also choose to output colored ASCII pictures and videos.

Change `background_image` in the settings to change background image.

Change `language` in the settings and save the settings to change language, currently supported languages: `English, Chinese`

## Changelog

2021/5/21 I have recently rewritten the whole ASCII art converter mainly in terms of UI design and inner functionality.

2020/12/14 Changes in the latest version: the previous function of displaying character pictures on a new screen was not felt to be very necessary, so it was removed in the current latest version.
