Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ASCII art generator?

An ASCII art generator turns text or images into art made from keyboard characters (letters, numbers, and symbols). People use it for terminal banners, README headers, code comments, and plain-text designs.

Can I generate ASCII art from both text and images?

Yes, if your tool supports both modes. Text-to-ASCII uses fonts to create banners, while image-to-ASCII maps brightness and contrast to characters to recreate the image in text form.

How do I make ASCII art look clean and readable?

For text, keep words short and try different fonts and widths. For images, use a high-contrast photo, crop to the main subject, then adjust width and character density until details look sharp.

Where can I use ASCII art without breaking the spacing?

Use it in places that preserve monospaced formatting, like code blocks, README files, terminals, and <pre> tags on websites. If spacing looks off, switch to a monospace font and avoid rich-text editors.

Is this ASCII art generator safe to use?

Yes. It runs 100% client-side in your browser, so your text or images are processed locally and never uploaded to a server.
