GlyphStream renders any video or image as a live stream of ASCII characters, drawn on a canvas that sizes itself to wherever you place it. Videos play in real time as moving fields of glyphs; still images come alive with a shimmer or a character-by-character reveal. Every setting lives in the Framer property panel, so you shape the entire look without touching code.
Features:
Video and image in one component. Drop in a clip or a still and GlyphStream detects which it is automatically. No mode switch to set.
Real-time video conversion. Footage is re-sampled to ASCII every frame, with an adjustable frame rate so you can trade smoothness for performance.
Two animation styles for stills. A subtle Shimmer that ripples glyphs over time, or a Reveal that builds the image character by character on load. Turn animation off for a clean static render.
Monochrome or sampled color. Render in a single glyph color, or let each glyph take the color of the pixel beneath it.
Your own character set. Define the glyph ramp from dark to light to dial in anything from dense blocks to airy dot patterns.
Full tonal control. Cell size, contrast, invert, a dark cutoff to keep backgrounds clean, and an opacity floor for the faintest glyphs.
Theme aware. Bind glyph and background to your Framer color styles and it tracks light and dark automatically.
Smart playback. Choose In View, Hover, or Always. In View and Hover pause off-screen to save battery, and Hover falls back to In View on touch devices.
Built to behave. Respects reduced-motion preferences, paints one clean frame on the canvas and in exports instead of thrashing the editor, and caps its grid so heavy sources stay smooth.
Panel-driven, no UI. Nothing renders over the art. All controls sit in Framer's right panel.
