Frequently asked questions
What is ASCII art?
ASCII art is pictures and letters drawn with plain keyboard characters. Text banners spell a word large, using characters like # and / to draw each letter on a grid. This ascii art maker draws text banners, not pictures.
Can I convert a photo into ASCII art here?
No. This generator makes text banners only. For a photo, use a dedicated image to ASCII converter.
How long can my text be?
Up to 20 characters. Short words and names work best, since long text makes very wide banners.
Where can I paste ASCII art?
GitHub README files, code comments, terminal banners, Discord code blocks, forum posts and email signatures. Use it as an ascii logo generator for your README header or terminal banner, and use a monospaced font so the letters line up.
Why does the art look broken in some apps?
ASCII art only lines up in a monospaced font, where every character has the same width. In a normal font the spacing breaks and the letters look wrong.
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is free with no signup and no limits.
