In this article, we will use Python to convert any given image to an artistic ASCII colored image in less than 35 lines of code.

This project will give you a solid foundation in understanding the structure of images and playing around it and that is in a fun way!! So, Let’s get started.

Dependencies Required:

You must have python installed on your system along with pillow python package. You can simply install pillow with pip install pillow. Firstly I will explain all the steps then we will proceed to the code snippets.

Steps:-

• Open the image from the provided path.
• Scale the images otherwise very big output image will be generated.
• Convert the image into a greyscale image.
• Get relevant character for each pixel from the character list(according to the pixel value, the character from the list is chosen i.e. “_” represents low density).
• Now that character is printed on the new canvas of given size with ImageDraw function(in the function itself you can choose the colors to be RGB or B&W).
• Save the newly generated image and you are done!!!
