Image to ASCII
Convert any image into colored ASCII art. Upload a photo and watch it transform into characters.
About Image to ASCII
Upload any photo and watch it reassemble itself as a grid of colored ASCII characters — letters, numbers, and symbols arranged so tightly they reconstruct the original image in a way that's genuinely surprising the first time you see it. Portraits, landscapes, logos: most images hold up well, and the color mapping keeps the result readable rather than reducing everything to a muddy wall of text.
It's a one-step tool. Choose a file, get your ASCII output. No accounts, no settings to wrestle with. If you enjoy turning visuals into something unexpected, it fits naturally alongside other creative apps worth exploring. For a different kind of image-as-art experiment, Pixel Art Wall lets you build and publish grid-based artwork to a live community canvas.
Works best on high-contrast images with clear subjects — a face or a bold graphic will produce sharper character detail than a busy, low-light photo.
