ASCII Animator

ASCII Animator is an artistic application designed to transform your ASCII code files to animated GIF documents. You can watch how the program converts still character strings to in black and white or colored motion images.

Source files

ASCII Animator can convert a GIF file to an animated ASCII art document, by extracting frames from your motion GIF or data from a still image. It uses the information contained in the picture to create an ASCII art file and animate it again.
The software can perform ASCII code encryption so that you can view it as an animated image, that you can open with an image viewer or in your browser.

Choose your output format

You can select which format you wish your output to be saved as. An animated ASCII art file can be saved as a HTML document, viewable with Internet Explorer or as a GIF image. The two formats describe a black and white animated file, but you can also obtain a colored ASCII art image without effort. The option can be selected from the Settings window, in the output type menu.
Moreover, font format and size can be easily modified to fit your preferences. You may also change the layout of your resulting image, by setting it to display a specific number of characters in every 100 pixel width. In other words, the more characters, the more detailed your image can be. Select a number of characters between 1 and 100.

Conclusion

ASCII Animator is capable of quickly converting both animated and static images to ASCII art files, meaning you can view a moving figure made of ASCII characters, against a white background. The application is a simple tool designed to create funny, artistic GIF motion images that you can share online or use on websites, in order to enliven a still webpage.
