How to Use Image to ASCII Art
- Upload an image. Drag a file onto the box or click to choose one.
- Set the width. More characters keep more detail, fewer characters give a bolder, simpler look.
- Fine tune it. Turn on Invert if your art should be light on dark instead of dark on light.
- Copy or download. Grab the text with Copy, or save it as a .txt file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The art is made in your browser, so your image stays on your device.
What is ASCII art?
It is a picture built from text characters, where darker areas use denser characters and lighter areas use lighter ones.
Where can I paste the result?
Anywhere that uses a monospace font, such as a code block, a terminal, or a chat that supports fixed width text.
What does Invert do?
It swaps light and dark, which helps when your text will be shown on a dark background.
What images work best?
Clear pictures with strong contrast and simple shapes read best as text art.
Can I save it?
Yes. Copy the text or download it as a plain text file.
