See [latest release](https://github.com/Cod-e-Codes/ascii-colorizer/releases/latest).\n\n### Install with Cargo\n\n```bash\ncargo install --git https://github.com/Cod-e-Codes/ascii-colorizer.git --tag v0.1.2 --locked\n```\n\n### Build from source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/Cod-e-Codes/ascii-colorizer.git\ncd ascii-colorizer\ncargo build --release\n```\n\nThe binary is at `target/release/ascii-colorizer` (`.exe` on Windows).\n\n## Usage\n\nImage:\n\n```bash\nascii-colorizer --file ./image.png\nascii-colorizer --file ./image.png --width 120 --detailed --color no-color\n```\n\nVideo (live playback in terminal):\n\n```bash\nascii-colorizer --file ./video.mp4 --type video --fps 12 --width 120 --color truecolor\n```\n\nVideo (save to file):\n\n```bash\nascii-colorizer --file ./video.mp4 --type video --fps 10 --save output.txt\n```\n\nNotes:\n\n- Video output is streamed frame by frame to avoid loading all frames into memory.\n- Saved video output uses a form feed separator between frames.\n- Live playback runs in an alternate terminal screen and restores the previous screen on exit.\n- Ctrl+C exits video playback cleanly and restores terminal state.\n\n## CLI options\n\n| Option | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `-f, --file \u003cFILE\u003e` | Input file path |\n| `-w, --width \u003cWIDTH\u003e` | Output width in characters (default: `100`) |\n| `--height \u003cHEIGHT\u003e` | Optional max output height |\n| `--detailed` | Use detailed character set |\n| `--color \u003cCOLOR\u003e` | `truecolor` or `no-color` |\n| `-s, --save \u003cSAVE\u003e` | Write output to file |\n| `--type \u003cTYPE\u003e` | `auto`, `image`, or `video` |\n| `--fps \u003cFPS\u003e` | Video frame rate (default: `12`) |\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\ncargo fmt\ncargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings\ncargo test\ncargo build --release\n```\n\nCI runs on every push and pull request to `main`. Pushing a `v*.*.*` tag builds release binaries and attaches them to a GitHub Release.\n\n## Supported formats\n\n**Images:** JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, WebP (via the `image` crate)\n\n**Videos:** MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, WebM, FLV, M4V (decoded through ffmpeg)\n\n## License\n\nMIT.
