- Convert an image into ASCII:

`ascii-image-converter {{path/to/image|url}}`

- Colorize the output:

`ascii-image-converter {{[-C|--color]}} {{path/to/image|url}}`

- Create a tresholded image using braille (if the image is barely visible, try changing the terminal font):

`ascii-image-converter {{[-b|--braille]}} {{path/to/image|url}}`

- Create a dithered image using braille (if the image is barely visible, try changing the terminal font):

`ascii-image-converter {{[-b|--braille]}} --dither {{path/to/image|url}}`

- Display the image with negative colors:

`ascii-image-converter {{[-Cn|--color --negative]}} {{path/to/image|url}}`

- Use a wider range of characters to display an image (may improve image accuracy):

`ascii-image-converter {{[-c|--complex]}} {{path/to/image|url}}`
