This tool turns videos into ASCII pixel art. You can use your webcam feed or upload a video, then use the controls to adjust the colors, resolution, text style, etc.

Github repo: https://github.com/collidingScopes/ascii

It's built with javascript / html canvas.

I'll be continuing to work on this, with the goal of improving performance (it can be laggy at high resolutions) and to also allow image input (turn an image into animated ASCII art).

Please let me know of any feedback or suggestions!
