Mitos
ASCII art generator that converts images, GIFs, and custom JavaScript code into text-based illustrations with preprocess
Our Take
Mitos is an ASCII art generator that turns images, GIFs, and custom JavaScript code into text-based illustrations with full preprocessing controls for brightness and contrast. It's built by oxidecomputer—the same folks behind the Oxide Computer Company, the startup building actual cloud hardware from the metal up. If you need to convert logos, screenshots, or any visual asset into ASCII art for your README, documentation, or terminal aesthetics, Mitos handles the heavy lifting.
It's a DevTool sitting in the oxidecomputer GitHub repo, which means it's open source and built by people who actually understand infrastructure. No bloated SaaS subscriptions, just a tool that works. Perfect for developers who want their project assets in text format without manually mapping pixels to characters.
