AAlib is a

software library which allows applications to automatically convert still and moving images into ASCII art
. It was released by Jan Hubicka as part of the BBdemo project in 1997.

AAlib has been used in a wide variety of programs, including a conversion of

dumb terminals,[1] and to let media players output in text mode (Xine, MPlayer, VLC).[2]

AAlib is freely distributed under the terms of the LGPLv2.[3]
