How to convert an Image into ASCII using Python

**The image of the lady in this video is the prime minister of Finland**

We are performing below actions to generate the ascii art from image.

Get an image path as a command line argument.
Open the image from the provided path.
Calculate the aspect ratio.
Resize the image. Here we are taking new width as 120 pixels. Adjusting the new height as per aspect ratio.
Convert the image into greyscale format.
Get all the pixels of image. Replace pixles with intentsity in a defined range with a character from list.
Print image and save to text file.

If you are getting an elongated image in terminal, you can adjust the height accordingly. I am generating new_height using formula new_height = aspect_ratio * new_width * 0.55.

Value of pixel//25, where 25 is the intensity range for one character, can be between 0 to 11 i.e why there are 11 characters in charslist. You may keep more characters in the list, let's say 16 characters and then keep the range size as 17.

Line new_pixels = [chars[pixel//25] for pixel in pixels] replaces the pixels with intensity from 0 to 25 with first character from chars list and 26 to 50 with seconds character from chars list and so on.

These are not my own codes.

Thank you so much bro. i wanted to ask why did you change sys.argv[1] to sys.argv[0] in to video

[hibruh]

hi what does he he mean by this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 4, in <module>
img = Image.open("profile")
File "C:\Users\zyad\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 2878, in open
fp = builtins.open(filename, "rb")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'profile'

I have this error how to do?
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 5, in <module>
image_path = sys.argv[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

[myonice.]

Can you explain what is
"from PIL"? i'm new on this

[mikethegamedev]

i need to microsoft word??? can i use gmail one?

[leweed]

Is the layout of char important or can i fill in randome?

[maxmuster]

But it is not pixel precise converted pixel by pixel into the character set.

The background music is so distracting...yeah there are some people who liked that but I think they have listened to your background music instead of learning what you tried to teach in the video...
