About Make ASCII Art

Make ASCII Art is a small browser-based tool for turning an image into text made from characters.

The site is built and maintained by the Make ASCII Art project. It lets visitors choose an image, adjust its character set, width, brightness, contrast and dithering, then copy the text or download it as a text file or PNG image.

The tool works in the visitor’s browser and does not require an account. The site is published under its project name; this page does not publish an individual author’s personal name.

Choose an image on the home page to make ASCII art.
