libcaca is a software library that converts images 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 formats.

libcaca has been used in a variety of programs, including FFmpeg, VLC media player, and MPlayer. [5] [6] [7]
