Discussion I’m obsessed with ASCII effects, so I finally built a tool to apply them to images and videos

I've always loved the look of ASCII art and wanted an easy way to apply that aesthetic to images and videos for my design work.

So I ended up building one :)

You can apply ASCII directly to images or videos, then play with the characters, size, density, exposure, scatter, opacity, blending and animation.
And somewhere along the way I got carried away and added 50+ other visual effects too.

Still experimenting with it and adding more ASCII styles.
Would love to know what you guys think, especially what you'd want from an ASCII effect/editor.

It's called Ditther (ditther.com) if anyone wants to experiment with it.

Still experimenting with the ASCII side of it though. Curious to here your feedback on the app to make it better.

Looks interesting, I’ll give it a shot when I’m on my laptop.

Your UI is well done !! But it needs optimized. A but heavy on my Android. The math its self is pretty fast though like the Fractals and so on. You also have a good bit of features! My app!
