01 How to Create ASCII Art

Select Your Mode

Choose between Text (for fonts), Image (for photos), or Video (for animations) tabs at the top.

Configure Settings

For text, pick a font. For images/video, adjust the Width Slider to balance detail vs. size.

Privacy Note: This tool runs 100% Client-Side. Your photos and videos are processed by your browser's JavaScript engine and never uploaded to our servers.

02 Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ASCII art on Instagram/Facebook?

Most social platforms condense whitespace, which breaks ASCII art alignment. For best results on social media, we recommend taking a screenshot of your result or using our "Download Image" feature (coming soon). For Reddit/GitHub/Discord, use "Code Blocks" (markdown) to preserve formatting.

What is the best width for ASCII Art?

For standard terminal/console output, 80 characters is the standard. For full-screen web displays, 100-150 characters provides more detail. If pasting into a chat app, keep it under 40 characters to avoid wrapping.

Why is the video conversion slow?

Video conversion requires analyzing every single frame (often 10-30 per second) and converting it to text, then assembling it into a GIF. Since this happens on your device to protect privacy, it depends on your computer's processing power. Reduce FPS or Width for faster results.
