Not exactly the ascii art I expected. But still very cool anyway.
Also, it would be great, if someone implements figlet[1] using html5.

#22Try deleting all characters from "Character set" and click APPLY SETTINGS :-)

#23Using • you can recreate pointillism :)
Re: Textify: Convert images to HTML text
#24This is cool! If you could use characters with different font sizes it may look better. Also kinda slow. You wanna explain a bit what you do? Is it just image -> choose a random point set -> draw? Is this based on Canvas or CSS?

#25That is really great! Besides export options, what would it take to be able to modify the density over certain areas of the output image?

http://textify.it/js/hakim.textify.min.js:
"Recreates bitmap images using HTML text. Images are
drawn onto a canvas element so that the pixels can
be read. Letters, with colors matching the image pixels,
are then placed at random locations on the screen."
Looks like it also uses dat.gui for drawing.

Aha! this is amazing. Is there a web interface to upload and try ?

#29I somewhat expected JS-based OCR. But this is cool, too!

#30Maybe it's me, but I can't get this to work (in either Chrome 12 or IE9).
For me, it works in Chrome but not IE.
