- Worth noticing
- GIFs use only their first frame, while half-block mode places two image samples in each character cell.
Field notes
The studio accepts dropped files and pasted screenshots, then lets users choose tone, color treatment, character set, and column width. The instructions note that busy scenes can turn noisy below 80 columns, while wider grids preserve more detail; they recommend saving wider results as PNG rather than pasting them into a message. GIF input is reduced to its first frame.
