Imagen → ASCII art
Arte de texto desde fotos
Sobre esta herramienta
Convert any photo into ASCII art - the image rendered using text characters, where dense characters represent dark areas and sparse characters represent light. Adjustable width, character set and contrast give you control over the look.
Useful for terminal banners, README headers, retro-styled posters, conference badges, or just as a fun creative project. Output as plain text (paste into a code block), or rendered to a PNG/SVG image. Runs entirely in your browser.
Características

- Multiple character ramps (classic, dense, sparse, custom)
- Color or monochrome output
- Brightness and contrast controls
- Copy as plain text or download as PNG/SVG
- Reads JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP
- Browser-only - images never uploaded

Preguntas frecuentes
High-contrast portraits, silhouettes, and bold logos. Busy scenes with lots of fine detail turn to noise.
Terminal characters are roughly twice as tall as wide, so the tool compensates by halving vertical resolution. If your output still looks stretched, narrow the width.
Yes - switch to color mode and the output uses ANSI color codes (for terminals) or colored spans (for the PNG/SVG export).
80-120 chars works in most terminals. 60-80 is good for README files. Wider produces more detail but may wrap on small screens.
Monospace characters are taller than they are wide, so the conversion compensates by sampling the source image at a non-square aspect ratio. Tweak the aspect-ratio setting if your terminal's line spacing makes the result look stretched.
Yes - copy the text directly, or export as a PNG with the ASCII rendered into the image so it survives anywhere monospace fonts don't.
