# 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.

### 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. Three ramps (Standard, Blocks, Detailed) and an invert toggle let you tune the look for light or dark backgrounds. Nothing leaves your browser; paste the result anywhere monospaced text is welcome.
