+# This is a script to convert a image to ASCII charaters
+
+- First install the requirements by ```pip install -r requirements.txt```
+- To Run use the following command
+
+    ```python3 ascii_image.py "Path to input image" "Path to output.txt" -w W (width)(optional) -c(to invert the colour of image)(optional)```
+
+- Run ```python3 ascii_image.py -h``` for help
