RASCII

ASCII image renderer written in Rust

Rascii allows you to preview image files in terminal. By default it shows the image in very low resolution.

./rascii imgs/1.png

By tweaking some values you can get much better results.

./rascii imgs/1.png -w 260

To get colourful results pass -c argument (Currently doesn't work in Mac OS terminal.)

./rascii imgs/1.png -w 260 -c

Rascii also allows you to play GIF animations (only 256 colour gifs are supported)

./rascii gifs/5.gif -w 460 -f 6 -p 3

Gif animations could be also previewed in colour but it is much less performant than ASCII version.
