Description

A long time ago computers didn't have graphics. All they could do was show green characters on a black screen or black characters on white paper.

But programmers were resourceful. They discovered that if you filled the screen with certain characters and squinted you could sort of make out a picture. Thus ASCII art was born.

The ASCII cam application lets you view the world as ASCII art using the camera on an Android device. Characters are displayed as green-on-black, white-on-black, or, for that line printer look, as dark-grey-on-white.

Short of simulating clay tablets or papyrus, this is as old-school as it gets.

Pictures can be saved as either PNG images or text files.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

3 ★Menu only appears on first launch and does not reappear until a force close on my pixel 6 pro. Seems to only work in landscape. Cannot locate txt files when saving as text.
3 ★[EDIT] Cool App, yet it has drawbacks as follows: 1. It completely doesn't support Android 13. Tested on S22 Ultra running Android 13. 2. No advanced ASCII Settings: No chars combination choices and No chars density settings, 3. The captured ASCII Image (PNG) & ASCII Text (TXT) files are placed a bit deeper in Android (System) Data folder, that's why my Gallery Apps cannot find them, so I have to find & dig them up manually. "Internal Mem/Pictures/ASCIICam" path would be better IMO. Thanks
3 ★Super buggy on a Pixel 7 Pro. Controls don't show half the time, view finder is glitchy.
5 ★Beautiful application! Absolutely gorgeous!
5 ★Works perfectly. Wish it did video to though.
5 ★great
1 ★i'm not amused. after app start i have a dark screen. press into the screen come the message - save pic to ... and then the dark screen. look in my galerie and the pics all only black. i dont understand this. all other apps works fine. huawei u8860 with ics.
5 ★I did buy this because I love it so much. Thank you, dev. Moar colors plz.
5 ★Fun. Has a cool "augmented reality" mode (select show video from options)
3 ★I thought I'd try this app as a tip for the work done for the X Server, and quickly found a few problems with "ASCII cam". - video doesn't when 'Stretch to fill screen' is used - ASCII and video don't seem to sync with 'Zoom to fill screen' - No way to select front or back camera - Picture taking requires a direction pad, perhaps 'tap anywhere on screen' would help tablets without direction pads Promising app, should be a nice demo for small kids. UPDATE: Developer added a "Take a picture" menu entry the next day! Rock on.
