While reading other technology blogs today, I stumbled across a nice post on TechPavan. It tells us how to convert any image into ASCII Code easily using asciiconvert.com, an online tool. This tool can come in very handy for users that use facebook, orkut, etc. You can use these ASCII codes to send in a message to your friends. You can also think of many other places where you might be able to use it. Lets look at a sample image.

Converting Picture into ASCII Code

I will be converting the above image into ASCII code. The following are my results:

I enabled the “Convert to Grayscale” for the second result. There are several options you can choose to change how your image looks so you can have various different sets of ASCII Codes for just one image. One of the more handy settings is the “Characters to use in width” which basically changes the size of the ASCII Code that you want. Have fun!

Hi Fahed,

Thanks for the link. BTW, why did you use image of converted ascii code? I too have used image on my blog, my firefox got very slow when I pasted the ascii text onto my wp editor. Is that the same case with you?

No. I didn’t notice any slowness on my wp editor. I used an image because the ASCII Code was being edited in some way in the editor and it was showing up as an oval Firefox rather then its original shape.
