    libcaca is a software library that converts images into colored ASCII art. It includes the library itself, and several programs including cacaview, an image viewer that works inside a terminal emulator, and img2txt, which can convert an image to other text-based formats.

    libcaca has been used in a variety of programs, including FFmpeg, VLC media player, and MPlayer.[5][6][7]

    libcaca is free software, licensed under Do What the Fuck You Want to Public License version 2.
