ASCII Art Maker

Creating ASCII work of arts isn't an easy task, especially if you're trying to recreate a complex image or an intricate scenery.

ASCII Art Maker offers you a simple way to create amazing ASCII masterpieces by using images or text content.

The application makes things very easy for the ASCII art creation process, so any user, no matter his or her experience in graphic design, will be able to make ASCII paintings. You have access to a wide range of tools that help you adjust the size of the picture, select the proper ASCII characters and even add effects to the image (adjust brightness, contrast and saturation levels). Once your work is done, you can save the resulted picture to various image formats, print it directly from the application or set it as the desktop wallpaper.

There's only one thing that I personally find to be quite annoying about this tool: if you're not careful enough while installing it, you might end up installing some unnecessary additional tools and change the settings for your default browser.

As for the rest, the application manages to convert any loaded image to a brand new ASCII piece of art in a very short time. And if you take into consideration that you don't have to pay much to use it, I guess it's worth a try.
