ASCII Silhouettify


[ About | Example | Galleries | Install | Uninstall | Options | Algorithm ] ASCII Silhouettify is an app that converts images into ASCII silhouettes, a style of ASCII art distinguished by uniformly filled geometric shapes rather than lines or textures. For input, the app expects flat graphics—visuals with minimalistic, high-contrast forms lacking dimensional depth, such as logos, banners, and pixel art.

For input, the app expects flat graphics—visuals with minimalistic, high-contrast forms lacking dimensional depth, such as logos, banners, and pixel art. To optimize it, capture an image of text in the terminal, and measure the size of each monospaced character in pixels, including the space between lines: On the Windows desktop where the developer created ASCII Silhouettify, Terminal renders each monospaced character within a 9×19 pixel rectangle when configured with the default 12-points, 1.2-em Cascadia Mono font.
