Fun little app but needs work

I tried saving it as a .txt file as offered in the save menu but it still saved it as .png. It does its job at converting pictures but when I tried to copy and paste to a Text Edit document it became distorted. This can happen if the font does not use the same spacing for all characters but even when I played around with the fonts and the view size I couldn’t get the picture to resolve correctly. It would help if it would save as text with an adequate line length (I think mine was wrapping) and evenly spaced font. It will save correctly as a .png file but the whole idea behind ASCII art is you can save it as text and see a picture. You also can’t crop to a select area.

Love the app but

Absolutely love the app I think it’s very fun to turn imagined into AcsII art but when ever I try to send it it kinda collapses it like the spaces just get removed destroying it please tell me how to fix it

Funziona

App carina. Molto basic ma funziona

Very Good Results

Just confused why copy from txt and paste - results are not as expected. Too distorted, not sure if wrong line feeds? When exporting as picture (PNG Format) looks great.

Unique

Clever app!
