Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats work with this ASCII art converter?+
PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. You can also paste an image straight from your clipboard. The tool reads pixel brightness to pick characters, so any standard image format works.
Is my image uploaded to a server?+
No. Everything runs 100% in your browser. Your images never leave your device.
Can I make colored ASCII art?+
Yes — pick the Original, Matrix, or Neon color mode. Copy plain text for terminals, use Copy HTML to embed the colored version in a web page, or download it as a PNG image.
How do I make ASCII art look correct when pasted?+
Paste into a monospace context — terminals, code editors, GitHub code blocks, or HTML <pre> tags. The output is tuned for dark backgrounds; turn off Invert if you paste onto a white background.
What fonts does the text banner mode use?+
Real FIGlet fonts — Standard, ANSI Shadow, Big, Slant, Small, Doom, Ghost, and Banner. The same format used by the classic figlet command-line tool, great for terminal greetings, README headers, and code comments.
Can I save the ASCII art as an image?+
Yes. The .png button renders your ASCII art (including colors) onto a dark background and downloads it as a PNG — handy for sharing on social media or chat apps that don't use monospace fonts.
