This ASCII polaroid creator was inspired by the series of polaroids, which I did back in 2021. I wanted to make the style available for everybody and thus had to figure out how to accomplish similar end-results, which I had previously done by hand, programmatically. This tool is 100% free to use and the resulting polaroid images can be used however you like as long as I am given credit. #asciipolaroid
In its current form, this tool forcefully crops everything into squares. For the best results, make sure you are using square-cropped images. I won't collect any of your data and all of the processing happens on the front-end.

Tips
After choosing a file, you can fine-tune the contrast of the consequent polaroid image with the controls below outcome. You can also change the resolution of the resulting ASCII image however you like. Nevertheless, I would advise keeping the width of it lower than the width of these paragraphs.
To save or share it, simply take a screenshot or copy the polaroid as it is only text.
