    used. Unless, you're aware of a way to convert ASCII to ANSI?

    No, but you can download an ANSI file from generator, it'll have a .txt extenstion on it though. What I found with the flames original out of generator is that where things don't make a particularly good fit to any given chracter you end up with a . so the flames had fringes of coloured . thats all I needed to clean up not colourise it.

    I'll have to try and find super low res images as the downloads just
    don't seem to work. Either they are garbage numbers and charactors,
    or they are inverted greyscale images (meaning black shows up grey, grey/white shows up black, and basically you can't see the black.)

    I get the feeling you're doing something.... wrong....

    I'm not sure what your target is either. HTML or BBS ANSI?

    Anyway my best results have been to either crop your image to say 160x50 or resize the original to the same, and convert that. 320x100 can work also but its not as good, for BBS ANSI. Download the resultant .txt file, rename it to .ans and try feeding that into Pablo or TheDraw.

    If you're after HTML then the skies the limit... the ASCII width is as large as




































































































































































































































    you need.

    https://www.ascii-art-generator.org/

    You upload your image, select Image to colour ASCII Art. This gives you an outpit format sub menu, which defaults to HTML with DIV and CSS but also contains coloured ANSI. Finally set the width to 79 to avoid line wraps, and convert.

    Once it finally stops sucking its thumb and converts you download the image.ansi.txt file, rename it to image.ans and pablo it.

    Yeah I've been resizing to between 150 - 250x??? I'm trying an image

    You really want multiples of 80... can't stress that one enough...

    that is a white background, the image itself is black. So it's not

    Send me a copy of the image, sysop@tlp.zapto.org I'll see what I can make of it. It may be, it just doesn't suit conversion. I've found a lot of things do



































































































































































































































    not really convert terribly well, despite being the right size and res, either there's to many colours or it is to busy.
