ASCII Animator can convert a GIF file to an animated ASCII art document, by extracting frames from your motion GIF or data from a still image. It uses the information contained in the picture to create an ASCII art file and animate it again.The software can perform ASCII code encryption so that you can view it as an animated image, that you can open with an image viewer or in your browser.
Choose your output format
You can select which format you wish your output to be saved as. An animated ASCII art file can be saved as a HTML document, viewable with Internet Explorer or as a GIF image. The two formats describe a black and white animated file, but you can also obtain a colored ASCII art image without effort. The option can be selected from the Settings window, in the output type menu.Moreover, font format and size can be easily modified to fit your preferences. You may also change the layout of your resulting image, by setting it to display a specific number of characters in every 100 pixel width. In other words, the more characters, the more detailed your image can be. Select a number of characters between 1 and 100.
