Textaizer creates pictures from text. This method is usually referred to as 'Text Mosaics'.
Textaizer creates text from pictures. This is widely knows as 'ASCII Art'.

• Textaizer creates text mosaic effects from a text file and a source picture.
• Textaizer can create true ASCII art. There are many programs on the web that can make ASCII art, but we offer an application that also combines Text Mosaics with ASCII art.
• With Textaizer you can make video clips from text mosaic frames, directly read from a source video clip.
• Textaizer has 7 different approaches to the creation of text art.
• Textaizer applies extremely fast algorithms, and surpasses comparable programs with great distance with respect to speed, accuracy, versatility/settings and ease of use. With Textaizer we still believe that there is no similar freeware program that can compete.

For whom is this application?

For everyone who likes to create a surprising effects with text, this application can be of help. It can be used for posters of your favourite picture, painted from the content of your favourite book. It can be used for welcoming messages (see examples below), for advertising or just for fun; you can use Textaizer to paint your favourite artist with texts of your favourite songs. Here is a short Youtube video that shows the features in more detail.

Some examples

Below: Shakira, drawn from repeating the lyrics of 'Siego Sordomuda', and slightly enriched by using the 'levels' filter with Adobe Photoshop.

Below: Shakespeare, painted from pieces of his own poetry.

Below : the text file contained only a short text: 'Happy birthday ! Congratulations ! Live long and prosper !' and was repeated endlessly by Textaizer to fill the entire picture.

Below: the emboss effect using one of the character-size-matching engine.

Here is some ASCII art: a simple example of the three balloons. Check out the website for more examples, e.g. our all time favourite: superman!

Try this: extended ASCII characters ('block characters') allow creating truly realistic and remarkable pictures. Ideal for creating novel styled websites.

Another great possibility: word art. Word art is simply creating a picture from words or (small) sentences. Sounds familiar? The next picture shows this great new feature. This picture of Lene Marlin ("Sitting down here") was made from all song titles of the Beatles.

Crazy Art? A next feature is to draw random characters on a canvas. It may sound silly, but great effects can be achieved. Look at this example below. It's generated using an automated random character placement engine on a canvas, where the colours are derived from a source picture. We have given it a catchy name as well: Crazy Characters. By the way: the fluffy cat in the picture is called 'Moon'.

Finally, make your own ASCII-art-from-scratch with the drawing board, where the corresponding using characters are generated from your drawn lines. Drawing the lines in the example below took about 8 seconds, while generating the corresponding ASCII characters took only a fraction of a second. It's highly recommended to use a (Wacom) pen tablet for this type of art. Below you see a picture of 'Moon', the fluffy cat.
