I started diving through all of my old files and that is when I came
across all of my old BBS days files.

After digging around on the internet  I came across ANSILOVE software
and someone has it up as a web based version so you can covert old
ANSI to PNG files.

​

This was my first feeble attempt at ANSI art of my Lava Lamp that was
on my desk back then.

I though this was a pretty cool App so I thought I would share it

It seems to work, but it's web-based.

[ANSIMat](https://sourceforge.net/projects/ansimat/) is a nice CLI
tool that can also output animations into FLC format, which can then
be converted into videos or animated GIFs.

The command line version of AnsiLove is pretty powerful (and fast). I
had hundreds of separate frames of a recent ANSI animation, which I
converted into PNG. Then I used another tool to convert those PNGs
into an animated GIF.

Thanks for all the info on the other programs out there.  When I did
my first video retrospect I started with ANSI Graphics and I just
couldn't find anything out there to help me do this until I found this
site.

you have been very helpful!

Most browsers can read aPNG, so you wouldn't have to convert it.

I would love to use aPNG but it’s still not widely supported on social
media.
