== Online image paster ==

== Scripts ==

JanTechPL is in possession of many scripts, some of which he created. His scripts will be overviewed here.

=== Online image paster ===

JTPL created [https://image-to-owot.tiiny.site/~~file/shutdown-info image-to-owot.tiiny.site]~~, a website which converted images into half block ~~symbols~~("▀~~" and "▄~~") so that they can be pasted onto the canvas. This created an influx of image [[spam]] in late September/early October 2025, causing JTPL to shut it down on October 9th.

JTPL created '''''https://image-to-owot.tiiny.site/''''', a website which converted images into the top half block symbol ("▀"), so that they can be pasted onto the canvas. This created an influx of image [[spam]] in late September/early October 2025, causing JTPL to shut it down on October 9th.

=== Other image pasters ===

JTPL created a handful of other image pasters, all of which are in HTML format.

==== Octant paster ====

JTPL created an [[Octant|octant-based]] paster, based off another script called ''Octant Direct'', an userscript which pasted the images directly to the canvas and had [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-means_clustering K-means color quantization]. JTPL's paster got rid of the quantization algorithm, since it bugged out the output. The paster includes a width slider, a Reconvert button and clipboard image support.

==== Pasters made for the color banned Mainpage ====

JTPL has made three pasters which could operate under [[The Great Color Ban of 2025/2026]], gradually increasing color support as [[The Great Color Unban of 2026|more colors were added]].

The first one, ''IPFWWC'' (Image Paster For Worlds Without Colors) uses full blocks and Medium Shade blocks (█ and ▒) for extra shades. It has sliders for the threshold of how much a specific "color" may appear and it does not support dithering.

As of February 22, 2026, the script's colors are stuck on black, blue (with links) and green (with coordinate links).<br>

This script will not be updated in favor of other scripts.

Another version of this script exists and is called '''IPWWSC''' (Image Paster for Worlds with Some Colors, the "for" was unintentionally ditched). It supports the color red.

The second one is called '''Image to Density''' which converted images into black-and-white shade blocks, such as the 4 most common shades (█, ▓, ▒ and ░) and some SLC blocks, including the [https://codepoints.net/U+1FB90 Inverse Medium Shade] character.<br>

This script has been disclosed to one individual.

The third one is called '''IPfWWSC v2''' (notice that the "f" as "for" has been added) and upgraded from full and shade blocks to half blocks and half shade blocks (and mixes of the two). It is the version of the script that JTPL most works on, keeping up with the new colors that appear on the Mainpage. This paster in particular supports [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd%E2%80%93Steinberg_dithering Floyd-Steinberg dithering].
