Image to ASCII Art Converter

This project converts a given image (PNG or JPG) from a URL into ASCII art. Users can specify a scale for the output, with smaller numbers producing larger, more detailed ASCII representations.

Features

• Image Conversion: Converts images to ASCII art by interpreting pixel color data.
• Customizable Scaling: Adjust the scale parameter to control the size and detail of the ASCII output (larger number = smaller ASCII art).
• Supports PNG and JPG Formats: Works with popular image formats via URLs.

Example Output

Here is an example of a converted image into ASCII art with an image scale of 5:

Note: Please make sure to right click the image and open it in a new tab, then copy the link to the image there. The image link for the example used is here.
