If you look closely, you can read the Lorem Ipsum text!

Create an image using text! Convert a source image into a black-and-white rendition comprised entirely of the input text. Here's how to use this script:

  • Install requirements:
    • pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Modify script to use custom images/text/font/etc 
        INPUT = "sample/input_image.jpg"
    TEXT_FILE = "sample/input_text.txt"
    OUTPUT_FILE = "sample/output.jpg"
    OUTPUT_SCALE = 2
    FONT_NAME = "sample/Arial_Bold.ttf"
    FONT_SIZE = 10
  • Run script: python main.py

Note that depending on the scale + input image size, it make take a little while to calculate. On 400x400 source images with OUTPUT_SCALE = 2, it takes around 15-20 seconds on my 12" MacBook.
