## What it is
js2image is a Node.js tool and CLI that compresses JavaScript source code into ASCII art shapes (e.g., a Christmas tree) while keeping the resulting code executable. It uses GraphicsMagick to process a source image and rewrites the JS so the code visually forms the image.

## Use cases
- compress javascript source code into an ascii art picture
- make my website's js render as a christmas tree
- obfuscate js code into a fun shape that still runs
- convert a js file into ascii art from the command line
- generate runnable ascii-art javascript via a node api

## When to choose
- you want a novelty/fun transformation of JS code into an image-shaped but runnable form
- you're on Linux or macOS and can install GraphicsMagick
- you want both a CLI and a Node.js API for the transformation

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed production-safe minification - output is not 100% guaranteed to run
- you're on Windows, which is not supported
- you need real code obfuscation or size optimization rather than visual novelty
