AnsiGo is a simple ANSi to PNG converter written in pure Go. It converts files containing ANSi sequences (.ANS) into PNG images.

For a multi-format general purposes converter and library, check out Ansilove instead: https://www.ansilove.org

• ANSi (.ANS) format support
• Small output file size (4-bit PNG)
• 80x25 font support: IBM PC (Code page 437) charset

Build and install with the go tool:

go build ansigo
go install ansigo

Alternatively, you can easily cross-compile binaries for other systems. See the Cross-compiling AnsiGo binaries section for instructions.

AnsiGo takes the input file as parameter:
