Image2ASCII

A Python Learning Project, that recreates an image with text, commonly known as ASCII art.

Requirements

• Python 3.4+ (recommended Python 3.4 or later)
• Pip (required if using Python below 3.4)
• Git (optional for cloning the repository)

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the source code:

git clone https://github.com/Gabriel-Sousa-Amorim/Image2ASCII.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd Image2ASCII

3. Install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To generate ASCII art from an image, run the following command:

python3 main.py <path_to_img> <size>

• Replace <path_to_img> with the path to your image file (local or URL). Note: URL images may cause 403 and 404 errors.
• Replace with a divisor for the image dimensions.

For example, if the image is 1000x1000 and you want a 500x500 ASCII output, set the size to 2.

python3 main.py ./images/sample.jpg 2

Running Tests

Check the tests/ folder for example outputs.
