Frequently asked questions

What is ASCII art?

Your image redrawn in text characters: dense glyphs like @ for dark areas, sparse ones like . for bright areas. Width and character set (simple, detailed, blocks) are adjustable.

How do I get the result into a document?

Copy the text and paste it into any monospace-friendly place — code editors, READMEs, terminals — or download it rendered as a PNG.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser.
