With Textaizer you can make great fun effects from pictures by repainting the picture from text. This is also known as ascii art, but more versatile because you can use your own text (song lyrics or Shakespeare, whatever you like). Textaizer is freeware from the makers of Mosaizer.

Possibilities with Textaizer:
- build any picture (bmp, jpg) from text
- build genuine ASCII art text files and the corresponding bitmaps
- free drawing of ASCII art, possibility to use an underlying picture for perfect copy/drawing
- video functionality: text art compiled as a video clip
- create an ASCII art file from a free-hand mouse-drawn picture
- use of extended ASCII characters to create full-body ASCII art pictures in HTML
- two creative modes: 1: follow the original source color ('colorize'), where the text takes the (average) source color (white spaces are not printed); 2: create a 3D or 'emboss' effect, allowing the entire text to be visible, only the font size varies
- save as text, bitmap, HTML and avi formats
- large screensize result viewer with seamless zooming
- use a white rim around the source to create an artistic painting effect; great for portraits
- use any fontstyle and any fontsize you like
- multiple font ('random font')
- automatic white space trimming (useful for multiple fonts) to avoid gaps in the result
- output as bitmap and as ASCII file (for the ASCII art generation)
- three image enhancement filters to optimize the picture before making a ASCII art of text mosaic.
