  • ANSI Paint: 100% free browser based collaborative ANSI art creation and editing tool

    From BBS ( /u/justme9974 https://www.reddit.com/user/justme9974 ) to All on Tue Oct 13 16:01:48 2026

    Hi all!
    I've created a browser-based ANSI editor called ANSI Paint. It was born out of my ATDT BBS software, which has an ANSI editor in the SysOp console. I started with that and made a bunch of enhancements, and that became ANSI Paint.
    Some of the features: Collaborative - invite your friends and edit in realtime or on your own Import an image and convert it to an ANSI file Gallery - your own private gallery of work SAUCE - stores the title, author, group, comments, etc. Not limited to 80x25 - you can have up to 1000 columns and 10000 rows Supports .ANS, .BIN, .XB, or export to a PNG
    This is part of my larger BBS Preservation Project (www.bbspreservation.org). Everything in the project is free, and the goal is to advance the hobby and bring more people into it. I'm doing this with my own time and money to benefit the community, and all of these tools, including ANSI Paint, will remain free.
    This is the beta version, so there are probably bugs! If you find one, feel free to post on the BBS Preservation forum, or use the email on the site.
    Note: The only reason it requires an email to sign up is for password resets (I'd hate for someone to not be able to access their gallery) and to invite other people to collaborate with you. I won't be sending you email or giving your email to any 3rd party. submitted by /u/justme9974 [link] [comments]
