Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats work with this ASCII art converter?+

PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. The tool reads pixel brightness to pick characters. 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 use colored ASCII art?+

Yes — toggle Color Output in the settings. It maps the original pixel colors to each character. Copy the plain-text version for terminals.

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. Regular fonts will break the alignment.

What's the text-to-ASCII mode?+

It generates FIGlet-style banners — large block-letter text made from characters. Great for terminal greetings, README headers, and code comments.
