Hello People,
In this Blog article, we will learn how to turn any image to ASCII art. We will see the implementation in Python. the output of ASCII art will be in text file.
Check out the Repository in python. I have also uploaded the output files in the repository. Drop a star if you find it useful !!!
Video Tutorial:
You can watch my YouTube video Tutorial to see a working tutorial for better understanding and a step by step Guide to write a code.
Module Used in Code:
We are using pywhatkit module to convert an image to ASCII Art. there are also some cool features available in pywhatkit module like Sending whatsapp message at certain time, give Wikipedia summary about the topic using the Wikipedia API etc.
If you wish to know more about it, you can refer to pywhatkit Module Documentation.
Code time:
# import pywhatkit module.
import pywhatkit
# input a image.
input = "wave.png"
# output a image.
output = "wave.text"
# This will convert any given image to ASCII art.
pywhatkit.image_to_ascii_art(input, output)
Firstly, we import pywhatkit module into the file.
Then we set input as a image name with the extension, for example "wave.png". NOTE: this image file should be at the same level as the python file if they are not at same level then we have to give full path of the image.
Then we set output file name in output variable as shown in code. name should contain an extension of ".text".
And finally, we use image_to_ascii_art method to convert image to ASCII art. it has two arguments first is input image path and second is name of output file.
We are ready to run the code and will able to convert any image to ASCII art.
i have attached two example outputs which are shown below,
Example 1
Example 2
Thank you.
See you in my next Blog article, Take care!!
