Mosaic is a small utility that allows you to convert image files to html code.
Functionality
Ever wondered how hackers created the Turkish flag at my one of my previous index.html files? One way to create (precise) ASCII art is to do it manually. But nobody wants to read an image pixel by pixel, extract each pixel’s color information and put it into html code. For these kind of operations mankind invented the computer. Mosaic does exactly this. It iterates over an input image pixel by pixel and reads the color value and prints the “pixel” as text (random binary, random number, random letter [A-Z] or specified text) into a html document, which is valid css and xhtml.
Features
- Import of JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG files
- Possibilty to resize images before generating html
- Specify text to be output (random binary numbers, random numbers, random letters [A-Z] or any text)
- Output to html file, XHTML 1.1 strict valid
- Fast and precise

I want to point out that it was ME who still owned the original Mosaic.exe (VB6). Even this fine programmer did not have it anymore ^^’ Should add it for nostalgia…
