This is a command-line tool written in Rust that converts an image to ASCII art.

• Converts various image formats to ASCII art.
• Resizes the image for better representation.
• Supports common ASCII characters for the conversion.
• Outputs the ASCII art to the console.

1. Make sure you have Rust and Cargo installed on your system.

2. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/k0ez13/image-to-ascii.git

3. Navigate to the project directory:

cd image-to-ascii

4. Build the project:

cargo build --release

5. Run the tool with an image file as the argument:

cargo run --release path/to/image.jpg

Replace path/to/image.jpg with the actual path to your image file.

6. The ASCII representation of the image will be displayed in the console.

The tool supports the following image formats:
