ASCII Art Generator

Turn any image into text art — adjust the width, pick a character ramp, and invert for dark backgrounds. Your image is processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded.

Character ramp

              

How it works

Your image is drawn to an off-screen <canvas> at the chosen character width (the height is halved to match the taller-than-wide shape of monospace characters), then each pixel’s brightness is mapped to a character from a ramp that runs dark → light. It never leaves your browser — there is no upload. Paste the result anywhere monospaced text is welcome.
