catimg
The command line tool "catimg" is a utility used for converting images into ASCII art and displaying them directly in the terminal. It stands for "cat image" and is typically used to create textual representations of images using characters, symbols, and ASCII codes.
Catimg supports various image formats such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. It uses algorithms to analyze the brightness of pixels in an image and maps ASCII characters based on their intensity to create the ASCII art representation. The resulting ASCII art can then be viewed in the terminal as a low-resolution version of the original image.
Additionally, catimg provides options to adjust the width and height of the image, change the color mode, apply various filters, and enable output to an HTML file for web rendering. It supports both color and black & white ASCII art generation, offering flexibility in customization.
Overall, catimg is a handy command line tool for quickly converting images into ASCII art, providing a fun and creative way to display images in a text-based environment.
