How is the ASCII art generated?

Your text is rendered onto a canvas, then each pixel's brightness is analyzed and mapped to a character.

Does it support non-Latin scripts?

Yes. Any character your browser's font can render, including non-Latin scripts, can be converted.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. It's processed entirely in your browser using the Canvas API.

Why does the art break in messengers?

They render in proportional fonts. Wrap it in a code block (```) or paste somewhere monospace.

Can I banner a long sentence?

You can, but readability drops — short words or initials look best.

Example

Input

HI

Output

  @@@    @@@   @@@@@@
  @@@    @@@    @@@
  @@@@@@@@@@    @@@
  @@@    @@@    @@@
  @@@    @@@   @@@@@@
…

Entering "HI" draws each letter as a large ASCII banner, where letter strokes become dark characters (@ % #) and empty space stays blank. Because the exact glyph shapes depend on your browser's font rendering, this is a representative example, and the full banner spans several rows.

Making ASCII art display correctly

ASCII art draws pictures out of characters, so the font it is shown in decides whether it looks right.

Factor	Details
Characters used	Only ASCII letters, digits and symbols
Requirement	A monospace font — every character must take equal width
Typical uses	README banners, code comments, terminal splash screens, commit messages
Input limits	Best for short Latin text — non-Latin scripts may not be supported
