image-to-ascii

image-to-ascii is a Node.js module that converts raster images into character-based terminal artwork. Input can come from a local file, remote URL, or in-memory Buffer. The converter maps pixel brightness to a configurable sequence of ASCII characters. It can preserve the original colors through ANSI foreground or background styles or generate plain monochrome output. Options control width, height, screen fitting, aspect ratio, transparency, reversed brightness, and custom background colors. Developers can receive a final string or work with the underlying pixel matrix through custom processing functions. A companion command-line package and webcam example provide additional ways to use the conversion engine.
