img2irc is a utility which converts images to half or quarterblock irc/ansi art, with a lot of post-processing filters
halfblock means that each row will contain two rows worth of pixels, effectively doubling the vertical resolution
quarterblock (experimental) means that each row will contain two rows worth of pixels, and each column will contain two columns worth of pixels, quadrupling the resolution
the irc
mode has 99 colours, the ansi
mode has 256, ansi24
has 16777216
statically built releases for the x86_64 platform are available
