AsciiCam

AsciiCam generates ASCII images in real time from whatever your camera is pointing at. Choose from black and white, primary colors, or full colors, take pictures, and share them as images or HTML. You can also create ASCII versions of pictures in your gallery, and optionally have ASCII versions automatically generated every time you take a picture with the standard camera app.
AsciiCam is completely free and open source.

The app is straightforward, transforming the camera field of view in a 112×64 array of "letter pixels" that is less of an ASCII and more of letterized pixel art. Keeps well with the 60 FPS refresh rate, and is efficient. Unfortunately, trying to use the front camera crashes the app.

pretty good i like that you can edit the characters used and that it saves the picture in a text file, all it needs is some more features like custom colours, ability to change the size of the characters ans ability to record video

It's alright, but not true ASCII art. The photos in the description are as promised, so if you like those, then go for it. The icon with the lines is not realistic, so if you like those, then leave this app aside.

Awesome app. But is there any way you could add the ability to adjust the amount of characters used to create the image? I would like to make images small enough to fit in a text message if possible. Thanks!

wow, that's pretty awesome. i wish there was an easy way to export the text of the image but still i can work around it. very impressed with this app.

Okay app, but when I try exporting as text it just doesnt work. It "exports", just it exports nothing at all. Fix t this, 5*.

Now this camera is amazing. If it wasnt for the fact that you can only take horizantal images, it would have been perfect. works as expected

it's ok, it does what it says.. but it just takes pictures... no export option?? i wanted ascii, so why can't i save them as such?

I love this app—and it's a 5-star app—but I would love it if it could capture video. <3 If the dev is reading this: I hope you give us that gift. [heart emoji]

Really fun and easy to use. Converts your own photos or take a live pic. Very cool guys!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. It also works much better than I was expecting, and I'm genuinely impressed. So impressed that this is an unprompted review. It's that good.

The camera works beautifully, but you can't select other images to be turned into ASCII

Ray. F. Jul 12, 2020     

I actually liked the app. Then I discovered you can't customize the colors; now I hate it

Mit. C. Jan 15, 2019     

Great. Really converts images to ascii text. Use share > html to find it.

A. G. u. Feb 27, 2019     

Really Awesome. i share the photos in pdf format to my friends. After zooming out it was great

Lew. P. Mar 16, 2019     

Good, fun app. I'd love to see a video function, though.

Interesting, but feels a little clunky and I complete.

Bip. R. Dec 10, 2018     

There must be a glitch. After installing this app every photo that i download be ones ascii. How to fix this?

Default filter unfortunately crashes on Huawei mate 20. Other filters work.

Jac. S. Jan 20, 2019     

I really like the fact that you can change the characters you want used

mot. Dec 26, 2018     

this app does everything that it says, great job! could i suggest adding a video function?

Tho. J. Feb 8, 2019     

Garbage, crashes whenever I try and take a picture.

A. E. Nov 14, 2018     

Really cool but please add custom resolutions

Mik. K. Apr 7, 2019     

Full of nerdy goodness. Simple, dumb, and awesome, all at once!

Oko. A. Apr 6, 2021

Rup. S. Oct 8, 2019     

I only wish this could do video as well, awesome app

Bri. S. May 4, 2020
