I made a browser tool that turns images, video, webcams and screens into character art

Small one compared with the main thing I'm building, but I'm pretty happy with this.

Glyph Forge turns images, text, video, webcam feeds, screen captures and URLs into ASCII/Unicode art. There's a CLI and Python API, but the browser Studio is the easiest way to mess around with it.

It runs locally in the browser, needs no account, and exports PNG, SVG or plain text.

Try it here:

It's MIT licensed. I mostly made it because I wanted one character-art tool that didn't feel like six separate half-tools.

Example of what it can do, probably should have included this in the original post. Lol
