ascii art patembeASCII Art is a graphic design technique that utilizes computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters (beyond the 128 characters of standard 7-bit ASCII). One of the main reasons ASCII art was born was because early printers often lacked graphics ability and thus characters were used in place of graphic marks. Also, to mark divisions between different print jobs from different users, bulk printers often used ASCII art to print large banners, making the division easier to spot so that the results could be more easily separated by a computer operator or clerk. ASCII art was also used in early e-mail when images could not be embedded.

But the special feature form ASCII Art its self that you could hide your secret document in it, like I have used to write my journal in: Read Me! :grin: There is nothing visually discernible about such ASCII art till you try and decode it with the decoder and dicover the hidden message.

Picture Worth a Thousand Words may look like an innocent image to ASCII Converter, but it also hides any data or document in the ASCII characters of the image. Check out some example of this Ascii Art, try to copy and paste the messages in the decoder box to read the hidden message.
