About PicText
PicText allows you to convert any picture to plain text. Yes! Just choose a picture from any of your albums in your device or take a brand new picture, and let PicText do the job.
A text or ASCII picture is composed of common characters you use everyday as for example "@#. !". In order to see the picture once is converted, you need a text editor capable of zooming out the text. As you start zooming out, you will see how your characters start to make sense by turning into the picture you converted earlier.
Tips for viewing the ASCII pictures...
1) Once the image is converted, PicText generates a text file which you can send as an attachment in an email.
2) Open the file in a text editor capable of zooming out the text. (You can also set the font-size to a low value)
3) Make sure you are using either Courier New or Lucida Console font. These are Monospace fonts, and they will guarantee that each character will occupy the same amount of horizontal space in your text editor.
4) Make sure you are not using the WORD WRAP option. Otherwise you will not be able to see the picture. You can usually activate/deactivate this feature in most text editors by going to View -> Word Wrap.
5) Zoom out the text and enjoy the result. You will be amazed!

I don't think this app is great.. Why we have to open and see the ASCII in computer.. I think it would be great if we can view the ascii code text here in android mobile because its too hassle in computer and then some doesn't have computer..

I was very surprised when I saw my face made only with text. I got a better result when I opened the file in WordPad and changed the font to Lucida Console. Consolas and Courier New also give you pretty good results, but Lucida Console makes your image shine. This is one of the best apps I have in my phone now.
