So cool and it turns it into actual ASCII, not a photo. I just made this:

@rrhoover Cheers Ryan! Happy to have unintentionally made my PH debut, even if it was from a project that came out of procrastination. Have some stuff in store which I'm really excited about . Soon soon :)

I think its by default there with instagram and fb pic! See this: FB: Original Pic: Colored ASCII: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamai...

@evivz Vivek, if you read my comment, you can see that I acknowledged the existence of Facebook's auto ASCII already. This is exactly what the tool uses.

@mrahmadawais You agree, so does Ryan. I think it's been worth a few hours of procrastination then :D Also not bad to have Mizar e Qauid on the front of PH for a day ;)

Nice tool. Don't you think that you should explain on http://thought.ai/ascii/ that your app isn't doing the conversion?

@inorganik Hey Jamie, I originally made the tool for fun and wasn't the one who posted it here. I will put something in the footer to acknowledge that tomorrow when I get to my laptop. Cheers :)

Well well... Literally just published this and it's on Product Hunt already. Just a little tool I made after yesterday's discovery that all Instagram and Facebook pictures are converted into ASCII Art. (http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2...) This makes it easier for not-so-tech-savvy users to do the same at the click of a button.

Cool tool, thanks for creating.

Do you know an app that does the same thing but for photos? In fact, I need to assemble for example 200 photos and when you look from 1 meter, it's only one photo. Thanks ;)

@jonathannabais Hey Jonathan, the best conversion I've found is actually Facebooks own. The easiest thing would be to make a new FB account and upload all 200 pictures to it. You can then use the append ".html" method (which I've linked to in my original comment) to covert the pictures.
