How to Convert ASCII Files to JPG Files
If you want to retain the formatting of an ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) file to put on a website, for a slideshow or for other presentation purposes, it is often easier to convert the ASCII file to a JPG (short for Joint Photographics Experts Group) file. There are no reliable ways to accomplish this automatically through a batch file conversion process; but thankfully, it is easy to do manually.
