About Photo Text ASCII Art
Create stunning ASCII text art from any picture, image or photograph. Use your phone or tablet camera to capture new photos (ASCII-selfie?) or select an existing picture from your image gallery and convert it to ASCII art.
Find a cool picture while browsing the net? No problem, just long press on the picture and select "share image" from the pop-up menu and then select Photo Text from the list to convert it to ASCII art.
This program creates a shaded mosaic representation of the photograph or picture you selected, where the image pixels are represented by different letters, numbers and other text characters. Before converting the photograph into text, you have the option to crop and select any smaller region of the picture to use.
With a single press of a button this app creates elaborate ASCII character text art from the photograph or picture you selected and displays it on the screen. You can then experiment with various options, including font size as well as the desired number of characters used in the generated ASCII art before saving the results. You can also specify the background as well as text colour used and whether you want the image to be a negative (light text on dark background).
The generated ASCII text art can be exported to social media, shared as email or saved on your device different formats:
1. Render to a png image file.
2. Save or share the ASCII art text as simple text.
3. Save or share the ASCII art as an HTML document.
4. Copy the text to your device's clipboard and paste directly into any other app, such as email, text document etc.
If you saved as text or copied to clipboard, remember that the text must be set to a mono-spaced font (each character is the same width) to correctly view the ASCII art.

Honestly I had know idea what ASCII was when I downloaded this app. I was looking for something that has the same look only you can put in words to recreate the photo. That being said, after I figured out what ASCII is I had a lot of messing around with it. I can really appreciate the time and effort the developer has put into creating this app. I also like that in the about section the developer asks users to email with any problems or suggestions. Overall it's a cool app. And this concludes my random thought filled review.

Very cool! One thing I am having trouble with: I cannot figure out how to insert my own text (word/words) into the picture. PLEASE let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!

The only way to really view your creations (as text instead of png) is to save them as html & open it in a browser. You may have to zoom out a lot. Otherwise it just looks like a bunch of text. The png version works fine.

This app is cool but when I'm trying to copy and paste the ASCII art it appears as something else not the ASCII art.. It would be cool if it would appeared as ascii art ...

Great little app. Found that just an @ symbol works best in colour text. Gives far better detail than anything else, for any width or font size.
