To generate an image with a 256-color palette, classic style block characters, 256 characters wide, and maintain aspect ratio:

ansify -p ./res/256.yaml -b ./res/classic.yaml -w 256 image -i ./res/cat.jpg -o ./res/out.bmp

To generate ANSI text with a 16-color palette, small style block characters, 64 characters high, and maintain aspect ratio:

ansify -p ./res/16.yaml -b ./res/small.yaml -H 64 image -i ./res/cat.jpg --text

To generate a gif with an 8-color palette, classic style block characters, 32 characters wide, and force 128 characters high:

ansify -p ./res/8.yaml -b ./res/classic.yaml -w 32 -H 128 gif -i ./res/cat.gif -o ./res/out.gif

To generate an image text with a 16-color palette, classic style block characters, and one character per pixel in the original image:

ansify -p ./res/16.yaml -b ./res/classic.yaml image -i ./res/cat.jpg -o ./res/out.bmp

To live process the first webcam with a 16-color palette, tiny style block characters, and one character per pixel in the original image:

ansify -p ./res/16.yaml -b ./res/tiny.yaml image -i 0

You can copy the existing yaml files and edit them to match your terminal/prefered style if you want.
