Image to ASCII Art

Convert a photo or logo into ASCII text art you can copy into chats, code comments and terminals.

How do I convert an image to ASCII art?

Choose an image and a width in characters. The tool shrinks the image to that many columns, measures each cell’s brightness and replaces it with a character of matching visual density — dark cells get dense characters like @ and #, light cells get dots and spaces.

Tips

High-contrast images such as logos and portraits give the clearest results.
80–120 characters wide fits most chat windows and code comments.
Tick Invert when the art will be shown as light text on a dark background (terminals).

Frequently asked questions

Why does it look stretched?

View it in a monospaced font; characters are about twice as tall as wide, which the tool already compensates for.

Can I use colours?

This tool creates plain-text ASCII art without colour.

Is my image uploaded?

No.
