The art looks distorted after pasting — why?

ASCII art needs a monospace font. Paste it into a code editor, terminal or a Markdown code block.

Which images work best?

Clear outlines, strong contrast and simple backgrounds — logos, silhouettes and line drawings are ideal.

🔠ASCII Art Generator - Convert Images to Text Art Online

Convert images into ASCII art made of characters. Adjust the characters per line for more or less detail, choose a standard, detailed, block or 0/1 character set, and invert for dark terminals and editors. Paste the result straight into code comments, READMEs or chats, or download it as TXT or an image. The monospace aspect ratio is corrected so the art does not look stretched. Everything runs locally.
