ASCII images and text may seem like something belonging to an age forgotten, but the truth proves to be quite different. Think about having to develop a website from scratch, and having a client who also wants you to setup everything that’s related to it, including email accounts and signatures coming with them. For some dark reason, your client only wants ASCII signatures with his name and company headline, and won’t settle for anything less. What would you do in such a situation?
Obviously, you can waste a lot of time and curse everything from Heaven to Hell while trying to do what the client wants, using some text editor and aligning everything “by hand,” but why not use a smart solution like ASCII Generator?
While it won’t convert bitmap images to ASCII ones (I’ll get to this in the future, there’s quite a lot of fun to be had with ASCII images… and you never know when such a tool could come in handy), ASCII Generator allows you to enter some text and get a nice ASCII graphic representation to use as email signature or for some other purpose (I can’t think about any such purpose at this time, so please drop a comment and enlighten me!).
When talking about options, there are enough fonts/styles to choose from, as well as a few basic settings, like width of the graphic, reflection mode, alignment, or stretching. That’s all! 😉
Compatibility: no problems here, since ASCII Generator is a pretty old website, so it doesn’t really matter if you run it in Opera, Internet Explorer 7/8, Safari, Firefox, or Maxthon
