Facebook and Instagram convert your photo to ASCII

Γνωρίζατε ότι το Facebook και το Instagram έχουν ένα "μυστικό" χαρακτηριστικό που μετατρέπει τις σας σε ASCII; Κάνοντας μια μικρή αλλαγή στις διευθύνσεις URL των φωτογραφιών σας, μπορείτε να τις δείτε με χρωματιστούς ή με ασπρόμαυρους ASCII χαρακτήρες

The information came online from developer Mathias Bynens on twitter and has stimulated user interest.

As he says, the trick is extremely simple and applies to sites. All you have to do is add .txt or .html to the end of the photo's url to view it in ASCII form. With txt it will be black and white and the html color.

Για παράδειγμα, αν αυτή είναι η συνηθισμένη διεύθυνση URL σας από το Facebook ή το Instagram ...

https://scontent-ams3-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/11906246_1700002456899911_1391970345_n.jpg

.... τότε απλά προσθέστε στο τέλος το .txt για να την δείτε σε άσπρη - μαύρη έκδοση ASCII:
https://scontent-ams3-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/11906246_1700002456899911_1391970345_n.jpg.txt

... Ή προσθέστε το .html για να δείτε σε χρωματιστό ASCII:
https://scontent-ams3-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/11906246_1700002456899911_1391970345_n.jpg.html

The process is the same for Facebook photos, although in our tests we found it difficult to find a photo that its url address does not end in? Oh = something. In these url tricks do not work.

Of course, on both sites, although the is a simple process, finding out the original URL of the image is quite laborious. For Instagram, you can view the source code in your browser and search for it there. And on Facebook, right-clicking images will unfortunately not get the correct format of the URLs.

But if you are able to find the right way to give the actual URL, then you can play with this fun feature.
