Maybe you can show your ANSI pic in a DOS window in Windows, and hit
PrintScreen to shove it onto the clipboard, and then paste & save it
as a GIF?

If you are using Windows 3.1, and you run MS-DOS in a window rather than 
in full-screen mode, when you press alt-printscreen (Alt-PrtSc), a 
graphical picture of the current DOS screen (rather than just the 
text) will be copied to the windows clipboard.  This includes any ANSI 
graphics you may be displaying.  Then you run any Windows graphics 
program that knows how to write .GIF files (Paint Shop and WinGif spring 
to mind), choose Edit/Paste to bring your DOS graphics into that program, 
and save the file.

Is the picture too big/small?  Pop up the MS-DOS window again, click on 
the control menu in its upper-left corner, and change the font size.  
That changes the size of the DOS window itself, and the size of any 
screen prints you may make.
