ASCII Artist

Drop any image into the converter and watch it rebuilt from keyboard characters — letters, symbols, and punctuation arranged into light and shadow until a recognizable picture emerges from pure text. ASCII Artist runs entirely in your browser: no account, no upload limits, no waiting. Portraits, logos, screenshots, memes — anything with decent contrast tends to produce surprisingly sharp results.

If you enjoy hands-on creative tools, this sits comfortably alongside classics like JS Paint for quick, browser-based visual experimentation. Both reward a little tinkering. Here you can adjust output width to trade detail for shareability — narrower columns fit a tweet or a Discord message, wider ones fill a terminal screen.

The output is plain text, so copying it into a monospace font elsewhere is the one step that makes the result actually look right.
