Om det här verktyget

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.

Funktioner

  • Adjustable output width (chars per line)
  • 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
  • Adjustable character set - dense (lots of grayscale levels) or minimal (just light/dark)

Så använder du det

  1. Drop in an image.
  2. Adjust width and pick a character ramp.
  3. Tweak brightness/contrast as needed.
  4. Copy the text or download the PNG/SVG.

Vanliga frågor

What images look best as ASCII?

High-contrast portraits, silhouettes, and bold logos. Busy scenes with lots of fine detail turn to noise.

Why is my output too tall?

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.

Can I include color?

Yes - switch to color mode and the output uses ANSI color codes (for terminals) or colored spans (for the PNG/SVG export).

What's the best width?

80-120 chars works in most terminals. 60-80 is good for README files. Wider produces more detail but may wrap on small screens.

Why does my ASCII art look squished?

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.

Can I export the result?

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.
