About this tool
Choose a picture and set how many characters wide the art should be. Pick a character set, from detailed to simple blocks, and invert it for light text on a dark background. Copy the result or download it as a text file. Portraits and logos with strong contrast work best.
Frequently asked questions
Which pictures work best?
Pictures with a clear subject and strong contrast, such as portraits and logos.
Why does it look wrong when pasted?
Use a monospaced font such as Courier or Consolas so each character has the same width.
