+# Image to ASCII Art Converter
+
+This is a Python script that converts an image into ASCII art. It takes an image as input, resizes it, converts it to grayscale, and then generates an ASCII art representation of the image using a predefined set of ASCII characters.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.x
+- Pillow (PIL Fork) library
