Works really well! I found that squashing the original image slightly in the vertical direction beforehand (about 25%) works better, as this tool stretches images a little bit vertically. Thanks for this...

Ha ha! These suggestions are now obsolete -- the tool has been improved! Bravo!

Thank you for your feedback! Based on your comment, I've added features to adjust letter spacing and font size. Thanks!

I'm no programmer, but perhaps Run Length Encoding could be used to reduce the size of HTML files? Don't be afraid to tell me to mind my own business!

Thank you for the feedback! While Run Length Encoding is a great idea, it's unfortunately not compatible with my program. In order to support features like coloring and area selection, my code stores every ASCII character individually in a structure like <span class="ascii-char" data-row="0" data-col="0">*</span>

Right. It was strange to be using your program while you were editing it. That was weird!

Here is an image from the program. (The original wasn't mine, just something I pulled from the internet)
