libcaca is a software library that converts pixel information into colored ASCII art. It includes the library itself, and several programs including cacaview, an image viewer that works inside a terminal emulator, and img2txt, which can convert an image to other text-based format.
libcaca has been used in a variety of programs, including the FFmpeg, VLC media player, and MPlayer.[5][6][7]
